AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Dyachenko et alii excavated several kurgans near the Aksai River in Russia. Two kurgans were constructed in the Early Iron Age (Kurgans 2 and 3) and three burials from this cemetery are dated to the Sauromatian Culture, but only one internment (burial 3 of Kurgan 3) had been undisturbed. This internment contained an imported Greek amphora, the first of its kind found in a Sauromatian burial. Only the material pertaining to the Sauromatian Culture was indexed for Outline of Cultural Materials (OCM) codes.
