Курган Вознесенский
The «Voznesenskiy» tumulus

Summary/Abstract: The tumulus called «Voznesenskiy» was excavated in 1998 in the city of Zaporozhe, the Ukraine. 13 graves were uncovered in the tumulus: 2 – the Late Eneolithic, 2 – the Yamnaya (Pit-grave) culture, 8 – the Catacomb culture, 1 – the Late Bronze Age and 1 – undetermined. The primary burial mound was built above the grave No 4 whereas the second Eneolithic grave No 2 was made in the process of the erection of the mound. The deceased in the Eneolithic graves were buried in supine position with the legs flexed (No 4) and in the slightly contracted position on the right side (No 2). The Eneolithic graves may be dated to the end of the IV – middle of the III mill. b.c. (uncalibrated). The burials of the Bronze Age are quite ordinary and belong to the late stages of corresponding cultural units.
