Abstract

The paper presents the results of archaeological surveys conducted in the Suleiman-Stalsky district of the Republic of Daghestan as part of the historical and cultural (archeological) expertise in the construction of utilities. In the course of the work on the Palas-Syrt upland, an independent, territorially isolated barrow group consisting of five barrows was discovered. The distance from this kurgan group to the nearest burial mounds of the well-known and extensive kurgan cemetery Palace-syrt (middle 4th - middle of the 5th century AD) is 1.5 km to the north-north-east. By its location in one geomorphological zone and near the southern part of the Palasa-Syrt burial ground, this barrow group can be included in its composition. Thus, the Palas-Syrt kurgan cemetery, which belongs to the initial stage of the the Great Migration period, expands its borders in the western direction. Identified isolated barrow groups of this burial ground are of undoubted interest for studying the planning of the burial ground and covering a number of issues of the social history of the population that left the Palasa-Syrt burial ground. It should be noted the need for a thorough survey of the territory between the newly discovered barrow group and the main massif of the southern section of the Palasa-syrt burial ground in order to identify the burial mounds. Like other burial mounds in this zone of Southern Daghestan (from north to south: Southern and Northern Palasa-Syrt, Sugyut, Piren-yatag, Donguz-nour, Kukhmazkunt), the identified barrow group apparently refers to the end of the Sarmatian - the beginning of the Hunnic period (middle 4th - the middle of the 5th century AD) and to the circle of monuments of the «Land of Maskutes» - the Maskutes-Alans state structure that existed in the coastal zone of Southern Daghestan and Northern Azerbaijan
