Abstract

The ways of dealing with the deceased among population groups of the Eastern European Forest-Steppe during the Scythian Period were various. The remains of the deceased could be buried in the ground or under burial mounds on the territory of settlements, and either in household buildings or in special graves. Human bones could be stored at the settlement territory after exposure or primary burial. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
