Grave mounds of the Strzyżów culture
An early Bronze Age burial mound of the Strzyżów culture , one of the successors of the string ceramics , with five burials was found in 2014 in a forest near Stryjów ( Izbica municipality between Krasnystaw and Zamość ) in southeast Poland using lidar technology. The 13 m diameter hill dates from the transition between the 3rd and 2nd millennium BC and is the first known structure of its kind on the Lublin plateau and in southern Poland.
Piotr Wlodarczak excavated four graves of the Strzyżów culture. The burial rite is a little different than in the late Neolithic . Not only did the hill contain the great grave of a person of high standing in the middle of the hill, but other graves were added outside. Each contained hundreds of shell pearls , copper jewelry, animal pendants, and flint tools .
