Abstract
Aim. Publication of a set of metal objects from a burial mound that was destroyed in the southern part of the Taman Peninsula in the mid-1990s. The set includes a bronze knife, adze, and bracelet.
Methodology. Cultural and typological analysis of the constituent items. The work uses comparativetypological and comparative-historical methods, as well as the method of analysis and synthesis.
Results. The circle of analogies to the objects of the complex gives grounds to attribute it to the end of the early and the beginning of the middle Bronze Age. It is not currently possible to associate it with any archaeological culture of this period that left traces of its stay on the Taman Peninsula.
Research implications. An expressive complex of metal objects from the late early and early middle Bronze Ages has been introduced into scientific circulation.
