Abstract

This article offers findings of field investigations on two Late Bronze Age sites: Berezovaya Griva I and Ivanovskiy Bor X, located on the left bank of the Kama River in the area of Kuybyshev dam lake. These findings suggest that the Berezovaya Griva I station had a complex history of colonization: it yielded materials of the Srubnaya cultural-historical community (18th ? 15th centuries BC), the Lugovskaya culture (15th ? 14th centuries BC) and the later stage of Maklasheevka culture (12th/11th ? 10th centuries BC). The Ivanovskiy Bor X station is a single-layer site belonging to the late stage of the Maklasheevka culture. A barrow with wooden constructions mounded during the site's existence was investigated on the territory of this station. The under-barrow structures resemble “long barrows” of the late stage of the Maklasheevka culture and the Early Iron Age one-chamber “houses of the dead” discovered in the Volga-Kama region.
