Ninth Annual Leon Levy Lecture: Scythian Elite Burial Mounds in the Eurasian Steppes
New Discoveries for a Deeper Understanding
Hermann Parzinger
The social structure of Scythians and other groups in the Eurasian steppe is mainly reflected by their graves, burial mounds, which are called "kurgans." Excavations during the last 20 years in different parts of Russia, from Siberia in the far east to southern Russia in the west, have yielded significant new information and have led to a rather new understanding of the phenomenon of elite kurgans.
