In 2011, the Fastov archaeological expedition renewed the research on the barrow cemetery of the Komarov culture of the Trzciniec cultural circle. This cemetery is located on the border of the Zhitomir and Khmelnytsky regions of Ukraine, between the Miropol, Kolodyazhnaya and Kolosovka (the former Voytsehovka), on the left bank of the river Sluch. Earlier excavations on the site, included in archaeological literature under the name of the Voytsehovka cemetery, were conducted by S. S. Gamchenko (1924) and E. F. Lagodovskaya (1949), who studied 14 barrows in two barrowgroups. In 2011—2012 in the newly discovered barrow group no. 3 four barrows were excavated, containing the remains of seven burials. Based on radiocarbon dating and analysis of the ceramic complex, the barrows can be dated by the midddle — the third quarter of 2nd millennium BC. All the mounds were erected on the natural hills of the dune ridge occupied earlier by the settlement of the late Tripolye culture. The publication provides a detailed description of all objects studied in 2011—2012.
