In 2016–2021, a Polish-Serbian research project focussed on Vojvodina’s burial mounds from the 3rd millennium BC. In its center were the excavations of two Yamnaya culture barrows, Šajkaš and Žabalj, conducted in 2016–2018 in the Bačka area, on the western edge of the Eurasian steppe. The material brought to light at these sites is currently the most important set of sources on the burial mounds in Vojvodina, and is essential for the wider territory of the Pannonian Plain as well. This book presents the results of the project fieldworks and the specialists’ analyses completed thus far.
