How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

At present, the source database expansion on medieval archaeology of the Kazakh steppe is among the priorities in science. Certain success was achieved in the study of sites of such medieval states of the ancient Turkic Khaganates as Kimak, Oghuz, Ulug Ulus, and Kazakh Khaganate on the territory of Kazakhstan.At the same time, the lack of a comprehensive study of this era led to its occasional research. The purpose of the article is to introduce early Middle Ages burial materials from the northern region of Kazakhstan into scientific circulation. Turkic mound is located in the Kenotkel-Shagalaly archaeological microdistrict.The central burial belongs to the era of the early Iron Age, later the fence was added in the early Middle Ages. Such peculiarities of the funeral rite as the eastern orientation, and the accompanying horse burial indicate that burial belongs to the Turkic time.Burial research and items as an earing, a fragment of a mirror and a spindle whorl found in the burial site suggest that it was a grave of a woman. The dating object is an earring and the time of the construction of this funerary structure was determined. That is the second half of the VIII-IX century.
