This is an automatically translated description

The collective monograph analyses a unique complex explored in 2018 by an archaeological expedition of the Berdiansk State Pedagogical University near the village of Polohy, Polohiv district, Zaporizhzhia region. For the first time in Ukrainian archaeology, the materials of the mound, especially the status symbol (staff), are analysed based on the report not only as part of an interdisciplinary study, but also as objects of discussion for a wide range of specialists from different countries. Particular attention is paid to the technologies, semantics, and semiotic status of artefacts, as well as to the cultural affiliation of the burial site of the epochal end of the 3rd millennium BC.

The monograph is intended for scholars, history teachers, graduate students, and undergraduates.
