До проблеми випростаних поховань культури Бабине Середньої Наддніпрянщини

Abstract

From the middle of 1980th in a historiography the point of view according to which the structure of Babine culture of Middle Dnepr Basin included ceremonial group of burials with the outstretched position of dead men was ratified. Critical check of sources has not confirmed this conclusion as the list of the outstretched burials appeared filled either unreal complexes, or insufficiently documentary or belonging to other cultures of a Bronze Age, in particular Middle Dnepr culture. Hence, the common thesis that for Middle-Dnepr Babine group it is peculiar funeral ritual of the "outstretched" burials can be taken off.
