Abstract. The article considers the semantics of the funeral tradition of "biikentsy" and "pazyryktsy". Extensive archaeological-ethnographical parallels are drawn from the Siberian cultures, traditions of which are related to the burial under the ground. The objective of the work is to analyze the sacral elements of the arrangement of funeral ceremonial. Previously in literature the obsequies of the archaeological period were covered mostly by material archeology. It’s stated that the main objectives of that stage are the transition of a dead person from secular to sacral space and securing the following path.
Key words and phrases: погребальная церемония, семантика, ингумация, "бийкенцы", "пазырыкцы", Горный Алтай, obsequies, semantics, inhumation, "biikentsy", "pazyryktsy", Gorny Altai
