Burials with the ochre of Corded Ware culture in the Upper Dnister region

Abstract

Burials with the ochre of the CWC on the territory of the Upper Dnister region, the higher concentration of which was recorded on the territory of the right bank of the Dnister river, within the Drohobych Upland, were considered. It has been established that now about 30 burials were found on this territory, in which this mineral substance was found, evidenced both inside the burials and at the level of the ancient horizon under the barrow mounds. It was observed that the body of the deceased was covered with ochre, or it was placed as separate lumps inside the burial. It is noted that the remains of wooden structures in the form of flooring and ceilings are often present in burials with ochre. It was defined that burials with the ochre of the CWC on the territory of Upper Dnister region date to the period of the first half of the 3rd millennium B. C. and are related to influences from the environment of Yamna culture.
