metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The research into the settlements on the Tarkhankut peninsula is the most relevant issue of the
  Crimean Bronze Age. More than forty new Bronze Age settlements have been discovered by
  means of complex interdisciplinary methods (analysis of satellite imagery, GPS routes for land
  exploration, magnetic and electromagnetic surveys, excavations). Oval structures were found
  on more than twenty new sites using non-invasive methods. By ethnographic similarities, they
  were interpreted as “livestock corrals” with stone foundations of walls. To test this hypothesis
  and to identify the time of existence, four settlements were excavated. It has been found that
  some settlements were repeatedly populated. Basic archaeological material and radiocarbon
  dating show that two settlements (Tarkhankut-18 and Tarkhankut-22a) existed in the final period of the Middle Bronze Age. They were left by communities of Babino culture. Based on
  the data of geochemical analysis of soil samples taken at a test pit 1 at Tarkhankut-18 settlement,
  the main function of this part can be defined as livestock enclosure-corral. Two other
  settlements existed in the Late Bronze Age. They were left by communities of Sabatinovka
  (Tarkhankut-H2) and Belozerka (Tarkhankut-H8) cultures. “Livestock corrals” are very close
  to structures unearthed on the sites of Hospital II and Gorodishche 11 km, which date to the
  Middle Bronze Age and are attributed to Kamensk culture of eastern Crimea. The structures of
  the Middle and Late Bronze Age found in Crimea are similar to synchronous objects from the
  Circumpontic region. It is indicative of the existence of specific non-burial stone architecture
  in the world of moving herders.
