The Body Was Inside a Kurgan, a Type of Tomb Made with an Elevated Structure over the Grave.
According to Information Released by Local Authorities, the Kurgan Measured Approximately 28 Meters Wide and 2 Meters High.
It Had at Least Three Internal Divisions. In One of Them, the Body of the Warrior and Some Weapons Were Found. In the Second, There Were Ceramic Vessels. The Third Division Was Empty.
The Construction Style and the Items Found Led Researchers to Consider that the Tomb May Have Belonged to a Military Leader of the Time.
The Body Was in a Semi-Fetal Position, Which Also Caught the Attention of the Archeologists.
On the Warrior’s Ankles, There Were Bronze Ornaments, Durable Material Common at the Time. Near the Body, There Were Also Tools Made of Obsidian, a Volcanic Rock Used to Create Cutting Utensils. Additionally, About 12 Clay Vessels with Handcrafted Decoration Were Found.
Some of These Vessels Contained Animal Bones. For the Archeologists, the Remains Indicate that Prepared Food Was Left There as an Offering.
The Practice May Be Related to the Belief that Food Would Accompany the Warrior in a Possible Afterlife.
The Discovery Reinforces the Archaeological Importance of the Keshikchidagh Region, which Already Attracts Scholars from All Over the World.
According to Local Data, More Than 2,000 Archeologists, Academics, and Volunteers Participated in the Excavations in the Area over the Past Five Years. The Site Concentrates Kurgans from the Bronze Age and the Iron Age.
