Description

In 2016–2021, a Polish-Serbian research project focussed on Vojvodina’s burial mounds from the 3rd millennium BC. In its centre were the excavations of two Yamnaya culture barrows, Šajkaš and Žabalj, conducted in 2016–2018 in the Bačka area, on the western edge of the Eurasian steppe. The material brought to light at these sites is currently the most important set of sources on the burial mounds in Vojvodina, and is essential for the wider territory of the Pannonian Plain as well. This book presents the results of the project fieldworks and the specialists’ analyses completed thus far.

The project “Danubian Route of the Yamnaya culture” was financed by the National Science Centre (Kraków, Poland). Its implementation was possible thanks to a cooperation agreement between the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Vojvodina Museum in Novi Sad.
