The continuity of sacred spaces in the North Pontic Steppe: a case study of the Revova Kurgan 3 (Ukraine)
This article examines a monumental structure in the North Pontic Steppe that was repurposed as a burial mound in the late fourth millennium BCE. The authors argue that this repurposing reflects a pattern of Yamna appropriation of ritual spaces, conceptualised as a ‘continuity of sacred spaces’.
