Abstract:

A medieval necropolis located on small hill near the medieval settlement in the “Pod Yamacha” place near the village Ovchartsi was excavated during the years 2010 – 2012. The medieval settlement and the necropolis dated from the period of 12th to the first half of the 13th centuries. The number of 69 graves are excavated, half of them – children’s graves. No church is found in the confines of the necropolis. A group of 16 ritual pits close to the necropolis is excavated, probably forming a commemorative ritual complex.
