Shilikty

Shilikty, formerly Chilikti, also more precisely Baigetobe Kurgan in Shilikty Valley,[1] is an archaeological site in eastern Kazakhstan, located in the Chilik river basin. At this site, numerous 8th-6th century BCE Early Saka kurgans were found.[1][3] Carbon-14 dating suggests a more refined date of 730-690 BCE for the kurgans, and a broad contemporaneity with the Arzhan-2 kurgan in Tuva.[1]
