Abstract

The article addresses the burial rites and grave goods of a burial investigated in 1975 in the Saratov region. The burial belongs to the culturally original monuments of "Avilovo" type widely spread in the Hunnic and Post-Hunnic periods in the Lower and Middle Volga regions. The author comes to the conclusion that the Avilovo burial rite differs from that one of other groups of burials of the post-Hunnic and Early Turkic times by a signifi cant peculiarity. Burials made according to this rite formed a compact area in the steppes of the Lower Volga. The dating of the later Avilovo burials coincides with the time of the beginning of the active spread of
the infl uence of the Khazar Khaganate in the steppes of Eastern Europe. The author supports the hypothesis expressed earlier about the inclusion of the Avilovo burial rite carriers in the Khazar ethno-social community.
