The Complex of Medieval Burials of Nomads near Zhovtneve Village (Pokrovske) in the Molochna River Basin
Abstract
The author is publishing the interesting complex consisting of seven medieval burials, located at the edge of the two barrows of the Bronze Age. Five burials composed the flat burial ground and were placed in an arc at regular intervals. Four of them were oriented to the South, one — to the North-West. There was used a stone mortgaging in two niche graves. Beside the burial ground there were discovered two graves accompanied by complete skeletons of horses directed to the West. Both graves were surrounded by the ditches with passes. Some burials were robbed. The inventory of burials is not numerous — the two rings made of pyrophyllite and one iron ring, the bronze gilded arch of a headdress (so-called “horns”), the fragment of upper part of the vessel of the Ancient Rus type and the hand-made vessel with a handle and a neck in form of spout. Analysis of the grave goods allows to date the complex of burials to the Cumanic time.
