К вопросу о дате и этнокультурной принадлежности Шиловских курганов

Abstract

The paper deals with the analysis of two barrows of the Shylovka burial ground (the Middle Volga region) and their cultural and historical background. Detailed investigation of the burial mounds design, the funeral rite and goods has been carried out and their chronology determined. The author comes to the conclusion that the barrows described are closely related to the group of the Khazarian population who left the monuments of the Pereschepina culture. Shylovka barrows belong to the chronological horizon of Voznesenka (705-725 A.D.).
