For two decades, the authors have been studying the funeral rite of the Kazakhs of the Omsk Irtysh region. In the course of the work, dozens of cemeteries were investigated, which allowed us to consider the issues of periodization of Kazakh necropolises and the evolution of the funeral rite. The analysis of tombstone structures plays an important role in their solution. In the Omsk Irtysh region, they are represented by objects of various shapes, sizes and degrees of preservation. The research allowed us to determine their information potential and the possibilities of studying structures at different stages of existence. For completely destroyed objects, a special research algorithm was developed, part of which is presented in this paper. As a result, for a number of grave structures, it was possible to trace the stages from the integral complex to its final destruction. The most complete picture of gradual degradation was obtained for fences made of raw bricks.
