The paper represents some remarkable interments of the palaeometallic epoch, and a cemetery arranged according to the Christian rites, which were recovered in the barrow explored by V. A. Kruts in 1977. A sample of the headband equipment from the horses’ double burial may evidently signalize that these representatives of a specific ornamental style might have been associated to the Carpathian and Danubian centre of cultural genesis. It was this innovative source which is supposed to trigger the Late Bronze Age to emerge between the Carpathians and the Dnieper River.
