“The excavations were carried out near the Bannov farm, abandoned in the 19th century, near the Bolshoy Kinel River in the Kinel-Cherkassky district. An ancient burial with the remains of a young woman and a baby was discovered at the farm cemetery. This burial dates back to the 9th century and, of course, there are elements of the ancient Magyar culture», – quotes the press service of the director of the scientific and educational center for archeology and ethnography of the Volga-Urals Sergey Zubov.
According to scientists, various features of the funeral rite — for example, the position of the deceased with the head to the west and the placement of animal bones in the heads, as well as a number of other features — allow us to assert with great certainty that this is an ancient Magyar burial. In addition, bronze shoe decorations characteristic of the early Magyars were found in the grave. 
According to scientist , this burial confirms and clarifies the migration routes of the ancient Magyars from east to west. According to a number of historical sources, in the 9th century, their tribes crossed the Volga and went west in search of new lands.
In the same cemetery, archaeologists discovered an even older burial, dating back to about 3500 BC, that is, most likely, it belongs to the very beginning of the Bronze Age. The remains of a man, a bronze knife and an ornamented ceramic pot were found in the grave.

«It turns out that for several thousand years people used the same place for burials «, the same hill. We will study the remains and artifacts found, perhaps the composition of the metal from which the knife is made will help to clarify the era. So far, we can only say that the man was Caucasian. By the way, a bronze knife is an indicator of the high social status of the buried», Sergey Zubov clarified.
The university noted that in September, the archaeologists of the Samara University. The Queen will go on an expedition to Samarskaya Luka. Colleagues from the Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University and the Institute of Archeology named after Khalikov of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan will help them in the excavations.
