Mamai–Hora is the largest multicomplex burial mound of national importance in the Northern Black Sea region.
It is located on the left bank of the Kakhovka Reservoir near the village of Velyka Znamianka in Vasylivka Raion, Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
The plan of the burial ground was first drawn by B. N. Grakovs's expedition in 1946–1947; later in 1976 it was edited by the Institute of Archaeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
It is possible that the original footprint of the site was substantially larger, and reduced considerably due to the loss of more than 300 meters of shoreline after the Kakhovka Reservoir was created.
The grave goods are represented by clay pottery and adornments made of red deer teeth.
Each of them had its own specific funeral practices, burial rites and grave goods made of clay, bronze, stone, and flint.
A vault was revealed next to one of the mounds, that was a pit with ore from which the paint was burned and a lavishly ornamented Catacomb culture vessel found.
[3] A large number of cult pits (amphorae fragments, molded ceramics, bones of animals) located on the periphery of the Scythian burial ground refer to this time as well.
Weaponry is represented by differently sized swords, darts, spear points and arrowheads.
Amidst adornments, there are bracelets, hryvnias, pendants, earrings, rings, plaques and beads.
A kurgan burial ground dating back to the mid-second half of the XIV century has also been found.
