In the village of Bash Kyungut, there is an ancient cemetery that bears witness to the Christian history of Azerbaijan Albania. Earthen graves covered with flat stones, made either of river or rock stone, are not only found in Bash Kyungut but are also widespread in the villages of Orta Zayzid, as well as Jalut and Kerimli in the Oghuz district, and other regions. This type of grave is also encountered at other early medieval Albanian monuments. The chambers of such graves were filled with earth, and sometimes covered with wooden planks. In Azerbaijani historiography, earthen graves containing tightly flexed skeletons are considered the archaeological reflection of the unity of Albanian tribes — a continuation of the Yaloylutepe culture. These graves also existed alongside and after this culture for several centuries and are known in neighboring regions of Albania. The jar burials that appeared later and lasted for several centuries are also considered part of this cultural continuity. 

Among the ancient and early medieval burial monuments in Shaki, burial in jars holds a prominent place. While most jar burials found in Azerbaijan are positioned horizontally, vertically buried jar graves have also been discovered in the Shaki region. For the South Caucasus, jar burials are characteristic of the period from the 8th century BC to the 8th century AD.
