Late Bronze Age settlement Makri Haya in the North-Eastern Azov region

Abstract

The article is devoted to the material obtained during excavations in 1981-1982 a small, destroyed Late Bronze Age settlement of Makri Khaya in the North-Eastern Azov region. The starting point for the work was an interesting set of astragalus Ovis aries with a stone bat(?). However, in the process of studying the material, it was decided to give as complete an idea as possible about the complex of finds at the settlement, focusing on the collection of bone artifacts at the end of the article. A striking detail of the monument was the discovery of a ritual complex of small ruminant astragalus with a stone bat(?). Work of a different nature carried out near the studied settlement is also covered: excavations of a burial mound-free burial ground and a Paleolithic site.
