The burial mounds simultaneous appearance at the Northern Caucasus and the north-west Black Sea littoral may be explained as the front Asia and Balkans-Carpathians regions early-farming civilizations’ influence, which confessed similar religious-mythic doctrines. On the basis of burial mound’s function, as open type sanctuary lays the reason of human sacrifice which permits to obtain reliable contact with supernatural circle.
