Rezumat

In 1996-1999, the archaeological expedition of Kamyanets-Podilskyi University conducted a study of early Scythian barrows near the village of Shutnivtsi of Kamyanets-Podilskyi district of Khmelnytskyi region of Ukraine, on the territory of historical Southern Podillya. During the works led by A.F. Hutsal, 7 mounds belonging to the West Podolsk group of monuments were investigated here. The monument is located 0.3 km southwest of the village on the left bank of the Smotrych River, a left tributary of the Dniester. The burial ground was located on the slope of a plateau that descended towards the river valley. Mound 5, explored in 1999, which occupied a central place in the group, attracts attention. Its height is 0.5-0.6 m, its diameter is 8 m. The embankment consisted of earth and stones. Under its center, above the grave and its edges, a stone structure of massive blocks was discovered. It had the shape of an irregular square with dimensions of 5.5×4.5 m. The largest stones weighing up to 150-200 kg lay around the perimeter. Under the mound, a looted wooden tomb with four pillars at the corners was discovered, which was located in a pit. The dimensions of the grave, oriented from the northwest to the southeast, are 2.3×3.35 m, the depth is 0.95-1.0 m. The northwestern wall of the burial chamber was probably paved with stones. And the floor of the grave is laid with flat slabs. In post pits, 0.97-1.15 m deep and 0.71-0.75 m in diameter, the remains of logs up to 0.2-0.3 m thick were sometimes recorded. The burial chamber was completely looted, the remains of human bones and finds were found in its filling at various depths. Only the lower jaw of the deceased survived, near which were 4 bronze pins and a lump of ocher.More than 260 beads, of which 240 are paste, and several more finds made of transparent glass can be distinguished among the finds. A bronze arrowhead was discovered. And also – a number of clay molded ladles, including original ladles with a sharp bottom, about which there is an assumption about their ritual purpose. Along with them were fragments of four stucco pots and a bowl. The types of arrowhead, decorations and ceramic vessels allow us to date the burials to the Kelermes period: the middle of the 7th - the first half of the 6th centuries BC. The nature of the inventory suggests that both a woman and a man were buried here. The presence in the burial of a number of ladles with a pointed bottom, which trace their origins back to pre-Scythian times, attracts attention. The cult purpose of these products is assumed. If this is the case, then one of the dead buried here could have been involved in religious practices during his lifetime.
