In this article, the original finds from the Yargait rock tomb in the Ömnögovi sum, Uvs Aimag, are published for the first time. In 2016, a group of people looted the site and tried to sell some of the artifacts. As a result, the artifacts were confiscated and handed over to the then Institute of History and Archaeology by the Central Bureau of Police in 2017. The authors carried out a comparative analysis to compare the findings with other rock grave assemblages and with the grave goods of ancient Türkic horse-accompanied burials. In addition, some of the authors carried out fieldwork at the site in 2019, providing a detailed description of the site and discovering further artifacts despite the previous looting. The study of the comparative finds allows a dating to the Early Türkic period, which was confirmed by the radiocarbon dating of a wood sample to 580-675 CE, roughly corresponding to the era of the first Türk Khaganate. Together with the monuments of Ikh Maanit and Jargalant Khairkhan, it is one of the few rock burials from the Türk period.
