These are some photos of excavations, camp and village life near Rostov-on-Don, Russia, where in August, 2001, I joined in an archeological dig at Chastie Kurgany. The excavation of an 11th-century Turkic burial mound included an international team organized by Jeannine Davis-Kimball of the Center for the Study of Eurasian Nomads, the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Donskaya Archaeologia — Russia’s only private archaeological journal. Our work is detailed in the PBS documentary "Secrets of the Dead: Amazon Warrior Women." This section is still under construction.
