This paper is dedicated to the issue of two multicultural and multi-temporal necropolises in the riverside part of Vodyanskoye settlement. A study conducted in 2011 revealed several Muslim burials in the site which was previously thought to be a Christian cemetery. The presented tables summarize for the fi rst time the data on all burials from this area and excavated between 1968 and 2014. This allows us to confirm the previously expressed opinion about the presence of two necropolises in the riverside part of Vodyanskoye settlement. The northern section is a Christian cemetery where burials were made until the 30s of the XIV century. The
southern cemetery of the second half of the XIV century was an urban cemetery, where there are burials with Mongoloid and Uraloid features, beshik deformation, one burial has an inventory, some of the burials were made according to Muslim burial rite. Perhaps, this place was abandoned during the crisis of the 60-70s of the XIV century, and during the restoration of the city under Toktamysh Khan this site could be used for burials.
