The article examines the burial structures of the Dzhetyasar culture from the territory of the Eastern Aral Sea region. In 2023, the Aral Sea Detachment of the Margulan Institute of Archaeology conducted archaeological work at the burial ground of the Kuraily-asar settlement. All the kurgans have identical construction and burial rites: they are surrounded by a moat with crossings on the northern and southern sides, and a burial pit is located in the center. The skeletons are positioned on their dorsal surface, with their heads oriented northward. The assemblage includes ceramic vessels, spindle whorls, buckles, a mirror, and an amulet. The analysis of the burial materials allowed the kurgans to be attributed to the Dzhetyasar II stage and dated to the 2nd–4th centuries AD.
