Kurgane der frühen bis späten Bronzezeit im Bezirk Jambol, Südostbulgarien (The Yamnaya Impact on Prehistoric Europe 1)
Language: German with summaries in English, Russian and Bulgarian
Category: Bronze Age
 

   The volume presents the results of the rescue excavations in five Bronze Age kurgans in southeastern Bulgaria. These kurgans (two mounds) were excavated between 2004 and 2010. In total they contained more than 40 Bronze Age graves, which are presented in detail in the text, catalog and illustrations. The earliest date from the end of the 4th millennium BC. The next phase, from approximately 3000 BC to the middle of the 3rd millennium BC, is associated with Yamnaya populations. Sixteen of their typical graves were also found. The grave pits, covered with mats and wooden beams, and their deceased, covered with ochre, lying on their back with their knees raised, make them easily recognizable. Other contemporary kurgan burials show a mixture of local Ezero traditions from the Bulgarian Early Bronze Age II and steppe elements. Later, in the Middle and Late Bronze Age of the 2nd millennium BC, around 11 graves were placed as secondary or tertiary burials. However, new mounds continued to be built during the Middle Bronze Age. The latest burial horizon consists of Christian burials from Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, which, however, are not described in the book.
