ПОГРЕБЕНИЯ КУЛЬТУРНОГО КРУГА БАБИНО В ДЕРЕВЯННЫХ ГРОБАХ-КОЛОДАХ КАК ПРОЯВЛЕНИЕ ОБЩЕЕВРОПЕЙСКОЙ ТРАДИЦИИ БРОНЗОВОГО ВЕКА

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the practice of using a funeral tree-trunk coffin in the Bronze Age of Eastern Europe. Tree-trunk coffins were used for a short period, at the transition phase from Middle to Late Bronze Age (2000–1800 BC cal), in the burial mounds of one of the three cultures of the Babino cultural circle – the Dnieper-put Babino culture. Chronological and geographical considerations suggest that this funerary fashion came from the west – from the midst of the Early Bronze Age cultures of Central Europe, most likely Únětice culture.
