“…This is, however, unlikely to be the case at Pidhoroddia, as ditches are not common features of Komar ow culture burial rites (Makarowicz et al, 2016a). Finally, the presence of a negative belt might also occur due to undulating terrain, which hampers the ability of an instrument to consistently take measurements at the same level above the ground (see the discussion on the magnetometry of barrows in Makarowicz et al, 2017).…”

“…The two sites selected for this research belong to the most representative Komar ow culture cemeteries in the Upper Dniester Basin. Both underwent excavations before the Second World War (Bryk, 1932;Pasternak, 1937;Rogozi nska, 1959;Siwk owna, 1937;Sulimirski, 1968) and were also the subject of modern non-invasive surveys, excavations and other analytical procedures (e.g., Hildebrandt-Radke et al, 2019;Makarowicz et al, 2017Makarowicz et al, , 2018Makarowicz et al, , 2016aMakarowicz et al, , 2016bMakarowicz et al, , 2016cMakarowicz et al, , 2021Makarowicz et al, , 2019. Double barrows were documented on both cemeteries.…”

This article discusses two cases of so-called double barrows from the Middle Bronze Age Komar ow culture cemetery in Bukivna, in the Upper Dniester Basin (Ukraine), in order to demonstrate the potential of incorporating geophysical image analysis, excavations and sedimentological studies towards identifying subterranean funerary architecture. The magnetometer prospection of the Bukivna necropolis revealed the presence of a specific dipolar anomaly within the extent of a double barrow. The excavations uncovered burnt wooden-clay constructions related to mortuary houses.The sedimentological samples collected from the features below the mound provided data for the increased ferrous content. Another double barrow located in the Pidhoroddia cemetery was prospected by means of magnetometry, which did not reveal any similar anomaly within the magnetometry plan, thus providing evidence for a possible lack of discussed mortuary structure.

“…Two deserve a special mention: a programme of barrow exploration in the forest-steppe and on the middle Dnister (The Yampil Project: Kośko ed. 2015;2017) and another focused on the upper Dnister (The Bukivna and Catalogue projects: Makarowicz et al 2021; see also Makarowicz et al 2017).…”

The article presents the preliminary results of research by a Polish-Ukrainian team who in 2018-2023 worked on the project of comprehensive exploration of barrows situated in the forest-steppe between the Southern Bug and Dniester in modern Ukraine. There, two major stages of erecting and using barrows were distinguished for the 3rd and 1st millennia BC. Two barrows discussed herein, explored as part of the project, were erected in the second stage. Barrow 3 in Ivanivtsi-Antonivka can be dated to the second half of the 10th – first half of the 8th century BC, whereas Barrow 6 in Sloboda Noskovetska to the late 8th – early 7th century BC. The older one was erected and then used by communities related to the early period of the Chornolis culture. The younger one is at present one of the main pre-Scythian complexes of eastern Podillia. The multi-component set of artefacts deposited under its mound represents a mixture of the Chornolis culture, Basarabi-Şoldăneşti influences and impact of early steppe nomads (Cimmerians?). It illustrates well a complex cultural mosaic found in the forest-steppe between the Southern Bug and Dniester rivers.

“…As a result, a number of regularities were recorded in the location of cemeteries and their structuring. Such principles as adaptation by the builders of the necropolises to the local geomorphological and hydrographic conditions, the specific linear or linear-group arrangement of barrows, and the continuity of cemetery formation in (gradual) stages can be mentioned here (Makarowicz et al, 2017(Makarowicz et al, , 2019.…”

Since 2009, the international Upper Dniester Expedition has conducted field research (field-walking surveys, non-invasive and excavation) and analytical studies in the Eastern Transcarpathia. These investigations are part of a broader research programme – a study of ‘The Biocultural Borderland between the East and the West of Europe’. The projects concern a comprehensive reconnaissance of barrow cemeteries dated to the 3 rd and 2 nd millennia BC, located in the mixed forest-steppe and forest belt in the basin of the Upper Dniester River. For almost 1500 years, this type of funeral architecture shaped the ‘mortuary landscapes’ of the communities successively inhabiting that area. Hence, the barrow cemeteries are an important source for understanding the mechanisms and trajectories of cultural development in this part of Europe, and consequently the subject of intensive studies within several research projects. This article describes the aims and results of two already completed and one ongoing project in the Upper Dniester Basin. Thanks to the use of modern research methods, both in the field of archaeology and ‘archaeological sciences’, it has been possible to present a wide spectrum of regularities/principles concerning the ‘barrow landscapes’, the chronology of the creation of selected cemeteries, and the construction of regular, linear arrangements of barrows. Furthermore, the projects have and are providing large collections of archaeological (ceramic, lithic, metals, etc.), anthropological, archaeobotanical and archaeofaunal material for future analyses.
