The article presents preliminary results of the initial stage of archaeological research at the fortified settlement of the Bronze Age Kamysty (Pervomayskoye), located in the Denisovsky district of Kostanay region. In an exploratory excavation laid on the monument in 2021, the burial of a baby was discovered, accompanied by a vessel of the Petrovka type. As a result of field research in 2022, a part of the housing structure, including a well, was studied. Pillar pits and other structural elements are fixed on the excavation area and along the perimeter of the dwelling. A collection of finds, numbering more than 3,000 copies, ceramics, stone and bone tools, bronze products, slag, animal bones, etc. was obtained. A preliminary analysis of the resulting collection allows us to date the settlement to the Sintashta- Petrovka time.
