Group of Scythian-date tumuli near the village of Ulyap, Russia. The earliest tumulus uncovered is dated to the 7th c. BC, but the actual Ulskie monuments were in use from the 6th to the 4th c. BC. Many tumuli of the group functioned as sanctuaries and not burial structures. The excavations yielded rich votive offerings. |
