Investigating graves, traditions and burial methods, in order to know and understand the culture, beliefs and practices of a society, can be considered as one of the main sources and methods in relation to the knowledge of cultural and religious aspects in different periods. In many cases, archaeologists have been able to recover and recognize a period or a society by examining and identifying graves. The unwritten life of the hidden corners of the ancient people can sometimes be told from the study of the graves, which is somehow related to their beliefs and rituals. Burial methods in every era, culture and society have been a reflection of their beliefs. In the meantime, the people of BMAC culture were not exempted from this rule and had their own burial traditions and buried the dead. The problem of this research is to determine the types and methods of burial related to the BMAC culture. Based on this, the questions are raised as follows: 1- Burials of BMAC culture can be introduced in the form of how many types? 2- Burials of the BMAC culture have been identified in which areas? 3- How can the distribution of BMAC culture burials be explained and analyzed? The research method is descriptive and analytical and library studies. The results of the research show that the burials of the BMAC culture are in the form of five types: Shaft, pit, Cist, Chamber, and Jar burial, which have been identified from settlements in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Iran. Also, there is a direct and meaningful connection between the types of burials and the structure of social classes in the BMAC culture.
