New burial ground of the Krotovo culture in Baraba forest-steppe

The article presents the results of the study of the Ust-Tartas-2 burial ground representing a part of the site under the general name Ust-Tartas burial mounds. Five infant's graves were studied. These graves are characterized by association with the pits containing fragments of technical ceramics, animal bones and fish scales. Ceramic vessels were placed in burials or on the same level outside the graves. The ceramics of the site show complete parallels with the Krotovo funeral pottery. The funeral inventory also included a bone borer, a needle case, a bronze awl, and ornaments shaped as closed and open rings made of lead or tin bronze.
