1) The archaeological news of V.B. Antonovich consisted of the following. In the summer of this year, in Umansky district. Kyiv province, on land owned by M. Talny, the owner of the farm, Mr. Nemirich, two tombs were excavated, interesting in the surroundings. Among a vast field, with mounds scattered in it, Mr. Nemirich noticed three circles of large boulders. For economic purposes, Mr. Nemirich decided to transport the stones to his estate. But they turned out to be sitting in the ground at 2/3 of their height; they had to dig up the ground quite deeply, and then traces of graves were discovered. They were two arshins deep. The skeletons lay in a horizontal position, with their heads pointing to the west. In one of the graves there were two skeletons. At the head of one of them stood a vessel made of red copper. Traces of coal and more than 60 molars of a wild horse breed were found in the bulk earth. In another tomb one skeleton was found and near its right hand
