To determine the functional role and place of beads in the funeral suit of the people who left the necropolis, the author considered: the number of beads in the tombs, the specifics of their placement in burials, the use of beads as an additional element to jewelry and clothing details, the specification of creating the necklaces by materials, color, size. A study of 1,608 copies of the beads in 34 burials has been made. Most of beads are made of green and blue marble, acting as a part of necklaces, hats and chest dress details.
