Abstrak

This paper discusses the interdisciplinary analyses of an Early Bronze Age secondary barrow grave related to the Yamnaya culture in northeast Bulgaria. The analytical results produced firm evidence of ritual practices in Yamnaya communities aiming at the preservation of skeletons by coating them with CaCO3 and/or by additionally painting certain skeletal elements with hematite. This practice could have been related to the preservation of ancestral memory associated with social power.
