Therefore, we rely on archaeological records to provide us with information about these interesting people. They created wooden Kurgan tombs and wooden frame houses, and it is said that these people have stood there for generations.
Rubner people (Russian means "wooden graves") are distributed in grassland and forest grassland areas north of the Black Sea and Caspian Sea.
This culture existed in the late Bronze Age from 1700 BC to 1200 BC. The name of the bronze age culture comes from the fact that their tomb structures are usually built with wooden frames.
However, some of the walls of these buildings are slate instead of wood, which is the reconstruction of Slubana cultural hut.
Russian * * * user béááááá/Wikimedia Commons, also known as Kurgan, is a large tomb with the same characteristics in Eastern Europe.
Kurgan people in Rubner culture usually have a religious fireplace, as well as animal skulls and forelegs.
In addition, Rubner's tomb also includes pottery, bone buttons, small bronzes, stone hammers and other cultural relics, most of which were discovered during the excavation of Rubner's wooden tomb.
* * * * Information Network, in a tomb in Rubner, Ukraine, archaeologists found a slate, which is believed to be the earliest sundial.
This carved stone was first discovered in 20 1 1 year, when a team of archaeologists led by Yuri Polido of Donetsk Regional Research Museum was excavating a bronze age tomb, dating back to 12 or 13 BC.
During the excavation, they found stone slabs with lines and circles on both sides, but they didn't know what these marks were at that time.
In 20 13, the slate photos were sent to the Archaeological Astronomical Research Center of Southern Russian Federation University.
The research shows that this sculpture shows a subtle grasp of geometric figures, and it is confirmed that it will use parallel lines and oval patterns with circular depressions to mark time. This system is called a triangular sundial.
The sundial belongs to the culture of Srubna or Srubnaya in the late Bronze Age.
It is believed that the sundial was placed at the top of the tomb to commemorate the place where a young man died and to be presented as a sacrifice or other symbolic messenger to the gods or ancestors.
In the Archaeological and Astronomical Research Center of Southern Federal University, the bones of the deceased are usually found curled up on the left side.
The head usually faces east, while the legs and arms are bent and the hands are in front.
An earthenware pot is usually placed near the head of the deceased, probably for ceremonial purposes.
Although the dead are usually buried in Kurgan, many buried skeletons are also found near the houses where they live.
Some people think that these bones belong to the victims of the groundbreaking ceremony. More importantly, the Kurgan people of Sruna culture usually live at a certain distance from their homes.
By the way, it is observed that the interior of the Kurgan people is a reflection of living houses and buildings, which may indicate that people believe in the continuity of life after death.
As for the dwellings of the living, they can usually be found near streams and rivers.
The houses of Slubana culture are designed as semi-blockhouses, and the walls may be made of wood, covered with thick clay or thorns and gypsum.
Each house has an open fireplace and an earthen platform along the wall, which can be used as a bed for residents.
These large buildings can accommodate up to 20 people. They may belong to several generations, but they may also come from the same family.
Some people think that these houses have been used for more than 100 years due to the lack of archaeological remains, and what is certain is Rubner culture.
There are more questions than answers, there are many people's guesses about it, and there are pottery pots found in the excavation of wooden tombs.
For example, Wikimedia Commons has a question about the origin of Rubner, whether it is an indigenous culture, or whether it may be brought to this area by immigrants from the East.
Another question is about the way Rubner operates as a society.
Unlike other bronze age societies, they did not seem to form a political hierarchy, but they could survive for centuries.
It is these questions, and more questions about Slubana culture, that are expected to be answered in the future.
