The paper presents information about sacrifi cial complexes discovered as a result of excavations of Kuzinskie Khutora burial ground in 2017–2018. The characteristics of the fi nds are provided along with counterparts and chronology, including the coin identifi cation results. A total of three complexes were studies. The first is characterized by two cavities: one contained a ceramic pot, and another – a box with clothes and jewelry. In the second complex, the box also contains clothes and jewelry. Broken items and a dirham coin were found in the third complex. The fi rst two items are typical of the Mari culture of the 10th–11th centuries. In combination with other attributes, they confi rm the presence of the Mari component in the burial ground. The third complex was created by the Komi-Zyryans, or under the infl uence of their traditions.
