About
The Beluzhino-Koldairov archaeological site, located in the steppe zone of Volgograd Oblast, Russia, is a significant site known for its Bronze Age burial mound complex. This complex includes a prominent large burial mound from the Bronze Age, surrounded by smaller mounds that date back to the medieval period. These funerary structures provide insights into the burial practices and social structures of the inhabitants over a broad time span, from the 21st century BCE to the 15th century CE. The site's location at the intersection of steppe and semidesert zones within the Don Natural Park offers a unique setting that has supported diverse cultural activities through the ages. The presence of the Cossack peoples in later periods further enriches the cultural legacy of this area.
