Catalogue of Komarów Culture Barrow Cemeteries in the Upper Dniester Drainage Basin : (former Stanisławów province)

Abstract

The present volume of "Archaeologia Bimaris" is published in a different convention from that of earlier monographs or articles in collective publications, which appeared in this series in national languages, mainly Polish, Ukrainian and Belorussian. "Catalogue of Komarów Culture Barrow Cemeteries in the Upper Dniester Drainage Basin (former Stanisławów province)", being published in English, satisfies the need to make the results of the joint Polish-Ukrainian research project more widely accessible. Its target audience is researchers studying barrows throughout Eurasia who have no command of Slavic languages. Usually, this purpose is met by "Baltic-Pontic Studies" (BPS), an English language journal published jointly by the AMU Institute of Prehistory and AMU Institute of Eastern Studies in Poznań (Aleksander Kośko, editor). However, its small format would not allow us to present best the extensive iconography. Th e reason for publishing the "Catalogue…" in the form hitherto reserved for BPS is therefore strictly practical in fact.
