It was Barrow 1 near village Ozernoe in the Skadovsk district of the Kherson Region (excavation by G.L. Evdokimov in 1994). The analysis of this cemetery and other cemeteries and separate burials from barrows in Lower Dnieper and Southern Bug area allow studying in details the problem of the cultural determination and territorial distribution of the so-called "Late Lower Mikhailovka memorails".
