Abstract. The research aims to show the stages, dynamics, complexities and achievements in the study of the structure of burial practices in Russian archaeology. The paper presents in sequence the facts of scientific progress and discussions in this direction: moving away from the identification of the concepts of burial monument and burial rite; introducing the concept of burial practice, which includes aspects such as custom, rite and arbitrary actions; structuring the burial complex and determining the limits in the use of certain concepts. The research is novel in that it is the first in Russian archaeology to show the development of ideas about the structure of burial practice in a theoretical aspect. As a result of the research, ways of identifying symbolic, normalized and unnormalized utilitarian actions in this structure, their ratio and interpenetration, as well as an awareness of the complexity and multifaceted nature of the objects studied for their further understanding were established.
Key words and phrases: погребальная практика, погребальный памятник, структура погребальной практики, погребальный обряд, обычай, погребальная инсталляция, burial practice, burial monument, structure of burial practice, burial rite, custom, burial installation
