The funeral rite involves the intake east oriented burial accompanied by a horse skull and extremities. The burial belongs to a classic type of monuments such as Sivashovka, being rather similar to the burials belonging not to the Northern Black Sea Littoral, but to the East Azov area. However, in the common cultural and geographic context the burial makes an integral part with Glodos, Gelenovka, Belaya Tserkov and Yasinovo complexes which mark a route of nomads’ deep incursion into Slavonic lands in the early VIII c.
