Berezitsy VI — a Burial Ground of the Final Stage of the Culture of Long Barrows
Vladislav Y. Sobolev
This paper is dedicated to publication of materials from the completely excavated kurgan cemetery of Berezitsy VI located near the village of Berezitsy in the Strugo-Krasnensky district of Pskov region.
Within the micro-region under consideration there is a large «cluster» of archaeological sites of the second half and the end of the 1st to the first third of the 2nd millennium AD. Archaeological researches in this region were started in the early 20th century.
The group of kurgans excavated consisted of eight barrows and three flat graves uncovered in the area between the kurgans. All of the burials were cremations with the pyre areas located aside from places of the final deposit of the remains. The objects found among the calcined bones — rings of small diameter made from bronze wire, including some with a glass bead halted on them, drops of melted glass and bronze, cornelian beads — all show the effects of fire.
The burial rite and the finds allow us to attribute the group under studies to the culture of the Pskov-Novgorod long harrows and to date it to the later stage of the existence of that culture, viz., the second half of the 10th — early 1lth century.
