The East Manych Mound Group: Bronze Age Burials Containing Tools and Weapons
https://doi.org/10.22162/2500-1523-2017-11-5-19
Abstract
The article analyzes burials of the Yamna (Pit Grave) and Catacomb cultures containing stone and metal tools of trade and weapons from the East Manych Mound Group. The survey revealed a number of facts connected with cultural, chronological, age and gender characteristics of the buried individuals. Their social status is also prompted by the quality of stone and bronze tools and weapons. The studied materials most vividly show the occupational specialization of the craftsmen.
