The investigation of Long lake site at Amur region in the 2014

This publication presents the results of excavations of pits 16 and 17 from the Long Lake site in Arkharinsk district of Amur region. The wooden construction observed in the pit 16 and 17 could not be dwellings or utility structures. The stratigraphy, planigraphy and archaeological findings have suggested that deep pits were the burial complexes of Troitskaya Group of Mohe lived in VIII century. It is on the cards that complexes are cenotaphs, because the anthropological material was not found. The elements of Mohe burial ritual are reconstructed on the basis of obtained data. The excavations of Long Lake site have proved that 14 pits out of 57 were the dwellings. As supposed all the other pits are associated with burials.
