The article is devoted to exploring the possibilities of non-destructive remote sensing methods, which have provided unique data during the study of the Baubek Batyr burial ground. Electromagnetic scanning of the mound and the surrounding area of Kurgan No. 3 was carried out. Based on the obtained data, the location of peripheral structures was clarified. Over three years of work, the planning structure of the Baubek Batyr burial ground, covering a total area of 500 hectares, was studied, and topographic and orthophoto maps of the site were created. Descriptions of various structures from different periods adjacent to the large burial ground of Saka nobility were made. During a pedestrian survey of the sacred territory of the burial ground in 2022, an ordinary burial ground, Baubek Batyr 2, was discovered. Two kurgans, identified as kurgans with «mustache”, were excavated there. Stone ridges, not visually detectable, were discovered using geoinformation technologies. Beneath the mound of one of these kurgans, horse bones were found, from which a radiocarbon date was obtained. The complex dates back to the mid-5th century AD.
