Burial-mound
“Bukovna” is one of the basic sights of Komaryvska culture of Tshynetsky
cultural circle. It is located on the high right bank of the Mound No. 1 of Group No. 2 is the earliest
among the studied mounds. This mound can be dated by ending of third and
beginning of second millennium BCE for its ceramic complex and arrowhead. It
is also synchronized with the block of Postcatacomb cultures. Mounds of Group
No. 1 for ceramic complex and
non-ferrous metal products can be attributed to the early stage of the
Komarivska culture and dated within the second quarter of the second
millennium BCE. All
the mounds are erected over a slight natural increase that visually increases
their size. The main part of the mounds is composed of chunks of sod from the
surface of the ancient soil. The top of this roll laying is blocked by rocked
siltstone mass from subsoil. The
soils, on which the mounds were built, are identified as hed soils
that develop under meadow vegetation in warm-temperate climate with
sufficient rainfall. In the Bronze Age, the natural areas in the Carpathian
region were certainly shifted to the North, dominated by open spaces with lot
beech and hornbeam forests. |
