This article is devoted to the results of researches in the Boralday river valley in the 2019 field season. In the cave Tuttybulak-1 at the entrance to the cave and along the southeastern wall there were made archaeological excavations of the room. The total size of the excavation was 18×7 (7–9) m. Total area of the investigated surface of the cave was approximately 150 m². At the entrance to the cave, the foundation structure of the fence (partition) was cleared, blocking the entrance to the cave. In the center there was structure of the tandoor type furnace of the Early Middle Ages. Along the southeastern wall of the cave, stone slabs were cleared. They were overtopped in three tiers over the bottom of the excavation (220 cm from the surface level) to a height of 3–3.5 m. These slabs have formed because of different-time delamination from the walls and ceiling of the cave and their fall. In the southern part of the cave, fragments of the ancient air duct and metallurgical furnace of the Early Iron age were found. The materials, which were found in different parts and layers of the excavation were fragments of metallurgical slag, metal arrowhead, ceramics, bone and stone tools.
