The two series of objects that arrived at the Tsymlyansk city museum (Rostov oblast, Russia) in 2013 are published. The first group comes from a roughly square construction of still unclear purpose covering an area of 130×130 m, which is hardly visible on the surface (conventionally named “Tsimlyans...

The two series of objects that arrived at the Tsymlyansk city museum (Rostov oblast, Russia) in 2013 are published. The first group comes from a roughly square construction of still unclear purpose covering an area of 130×130 m, which is hardly visible on the surface (conventionally named “Tsimlyansky square” or “Tsimlyanky kvadrat”). The group consists of about 170 items, including 60–70 horse cheek-bits and their fragments. Nearby, a well-known barrow in the form of truncated pyramid named (Dark-) Blue Mound is situated, covering an area of 95×100 m, over 10 m in height. Its base is encircled by a trench, square in plane. The barrow has not been excavated, its date remaining undetermined. The relation between the barrow and the published complex is presumable.
