Summary/Abstract: This paper considers the results of research on metal ingots from the collection of the Kudashevsky I (3rd–5th centuries a.d.) and Krasnoyarskу I (1st–5th centuries a.d.) burial grounds in the south of Perm krai. The analysis of morphology, technology, and composition of the metal, as well as weight of the ingots, adds to the general understanding of the system of metal ingots (not coins) used by the population of Prikamye. In addition, the metal of ingots from the Pokrovsky burial ground (4–5th centuries a.d.), which are stored in the K. Gerd National Museum of the Udmurt Republic, is investigated. The findings are for the first time discussed in the context of ancient funeral ceremony.
