The paper deals with results of the recent archaeological research of Czech-Uzbek-French team in piedmont steppe of southern Uzbekistan, particularly with settlement of Burgut Kurgan in Pashkhurt valley. Some structures uncovered at this site and its surroundings offer a possibility to interpret them in terms of Zoroastrian cult.
In this paper, preliminary thoughts on this topic are discussed and archaeological reality is confronted with early Zoroastrian funerary rites description, particularly those of Vendidat.
