Ceramic vessels from the Middle Bronze Age were found in the Sandyktau III burial ground

Andronovo culture is characterized by the development of progressive forms of economy. Clay vessels are the main finds in the burials of the Andronovites. Pots have a flat bottom, the diameter of which is almost always half the diameter of the corolla. The height of the vessel is approximately equal to its diameter. The sides are convex, rounded, the largest diameter is in the upper third of the vessel. The reason for the large number of clay vessels placed in burial grounds and burial mounds is a sign of the first worldview of the Bronze Age – the belief that life will continue in the afterlife.
