Burials of the late antiquity from the burial mound Mandesarka-6

The paper is devoted to the publication of archaeological research of the burial mound Mandesarka-6, located at the top of the watershed of the rivers Mandesarka and Kayrahta in the southern Urals. The burial mound includes 11 groundwater mounds: 9 round, 1 oval and 1 dumbell-shaped. In 2015-2016, barrows 1-4 and 6 were investigated. The paper contains description of burial structures and grave goods unearthed from these mounds. The burial chambers are represented as the burial pits with undercuts and narrow rectangular pits with rounded corners. This type of burial chambers is typical of most of the Late Sarmatian time in the Volga-Ural region. The filling of graves contains the remains of wooden structures and organic decay. The grave goods include weapons, belt elements, household components and decorations. Of interest are an iron sword, an iron dagger and a bronze two-piece finial from knife. We compare these items with similar things from the burial mounds of the Volga-Ural region, Caucasus, Bosporus, Central Asia...
