The article presents the results of a study of two burial structures on the Saryadyr hill (Karagandy region, Ulytau district, Korgasyn village). The objects are located in the area of the Karatorgay mountain range paralleled to Karatorgay river. This area is
unknown in archaeological researching. Archaeological excavations in combination with high-altitude survey revealed the features of the location of sites in the local landscape. The cultural and chronological position of the structures was determined by the peculiarities of the funeral rite. The Saryadyr 1 is a stone structure with vertical steles belonging to the late
Kypchak burial tradition of the 13th – first half of the 14th centuries. The original burial rite is in the form of a composition of individual parts of the legs with inventory such as an iron knife and an arrowhead. Another structure, the Saryadyr 2 mound, apparently had a memorial character and belonged to the category of cenotaphs. A lying flat stele of the type of “koytas”
was in its design. The ritual structure belongs to the Begazy-Dandybay culture of the late Bronze age. A comparative analysis of the meaning of the toponym Saryadyr with the archaic rites of the excavated structures indicated the sacred significance of the hill in the context of the culture of the nomads of Ulytau.
