The Barrows (or Tumuli) of Tasmola are dispersed throughout central Kazakhstan in the Karaganda, Akmola, and Pavlodar regions.
Originating in the Saka period (7th to 3rd Centuries BC), the various barrows of the Tasmola culture can be found throughout the valleys of central Kazakhstan.
[2] The ranges appear to line up in accordance to equinoctial, solstitial or midsummer sunrise points.
Archaeological finds in the barrows themselves can include pottery, horse skeletons, and fire pit remains.
