Стаття присвячена публікації матеріалів розкопок кургану поблизу села Гродзеве Уманського
 району Черкаської області. Всі 10 виявлених поховань відносяться до доби бронзи: вісім — до ямної
 культури, 2 — до культурного кола Бабине (Дніпро-Прутської бабинської культури). This paper presents the data from the excavation
 of the kurgan 6 near the village of Grozdeve in Uman
 region of the Cherkasy oblast. The complex was investigated
 by the Expedition of the Cherkasy Archaeological
 Rescue Surveys in 2011. This kurgan was a component
 of the large kurgan group located to the east
 and north-east from the village of Grozdeve, near the
 road Uman — Kirovohrad in the direction of the village
 of Babanka. Topographically the kurhan cemetery is
 located on top of the watershed of the rivers Umanka
 (from the west) and Revukha (from the east), which flow
 into the Yatran river (basing of the Southern Buh).
 Kurhan 6 was located in the central part of the group.
 The southern part of the kurgan was partly destroyed
 by the road, which was built in 1950s. Initially the elevation
 of kurgan reached 2.5—3 m. By the moment of
 excavations its elevation reached 1.3—1.5 m, and the diameter
 was measured to 35—40 m. The kurgan included
 ten burials of the Bronze Age. Eight of those belong to
 the Yamna culure (3rd mil. BC), two others were attributed
 to the Babyne cultural complex (the first half of the
 2nd mil. BC). Despite the significantly destroyed mound,
 profiles preserved the stratigraphy of the kurgan. The
 buried soil and at least two mounds were identified.
 Yamna burials are similar to the Southern Buh
 variation of the Yamna culutural complex by its ritual:
 nearly rectangular pits covered with wood, remains of
 bark on the floor, position of skeletons, burials of two
 people, western and eastern orientation of buried, use
 of ochre etc. Two burials included ceramic pots with a
 short neck, egg-shaped body and sharp bottom. Those
 are dated to the late period of Yamna culture.
 Babyne burials do not have significant features. Both
 are characterized by nearly rectangular pits of a small
 size and depth, organic remains on the floor and wooden
 constructions in burials, eastern orientation of buried,
 the lack of inventory. These burials are dated to the late
 period of the culture (Dnipro-Prut Babyne culture).
