Ancient grave was found in center of Chernihiv (PHOTOS)

Archaeologist Ihor Ihnatenko reported that the burial and remnants of buildings (11^th – 12^th centuries) had been discovered in the center of Chernihiv.

According to the archaeologist, most likely, there was a burial ground, possibly kurgan, at this place. Later, in the 13^th century, residential or commercial buildings were located here.

In addition, the archaeologists have found some coffin nails and a knife beside them as an indication of possible rich man’s burial place.

“Archaeological research on Pobedy Prospect attracted numerous admirers of antiquity. Such a rush was caused by several factors, that is, lack of fencing, human bones and proximity to the central market. The excavated burial site dates back to the 12^th century. Traces of the fence and buildings of the same period have been found nearby”, the archaeologist emphasized.

As reported by The Journalist that the site at the “Poshtova” where archaeological excavations were carried out in 2014-2017 became a monument of national importance.
