Abstract
The article is devoted to the publication of the results of the archeological excavations of the medieval burial ground situated near the Balta village in the North Ossetia. The archaeological site was firstly investigated by V. I. Dolbezhev in 1897. There were discoverd 8 catacomb graves 8-9 A.D. related to the North- Caucasus Alanian archeological culture. Despite of the frequent mentions of the Balta catacomb graves, there are no publications of results of the Balta archeological site excavations. Moreover, the paper analyzes culture contacts of inhabitants of the Upper Terek and inhabitants of the Transcaucasian and of the European forest-steppe zone.
