Second Iron Age (6th – 3rd centuries BC). Exhibiting archaeological features relevant for the North-Thracians, but also for various North-Pontic populations, including Scythians, the site could give insight into the specific phenomena that characterized the authority structures existing in Northern Dobroudja in the vicinity of Greek colonies Orgame and Histria. The authors, as members of a new research team engaged in the site since 2006, present for the first time a complete and systematic picture of what is considered to be a typical funerary monument of the necropolis – a tumulus grave – by making reference to its location, structure, ritual and artifacts as to chronology and research methodology. The mound was thoroughly excavated and analyzed by employing a complex set of interdisciplinary methods and techniques: geophysical prospecting with various methods.
