Vasiurina, to the south of Phanagoria, included four horse burials in the dromos of an otherwise empty tomb (Fig. 6; Gaidukevich 1949, 295). The specific association of these burials with a Sindian elite is, however, far from assured, given the use of stonebuilt chambers and of increasingly hybrid burial rituals. The most elaborate burial mound on the Taman peninsula, the Bolshaia Bliznitsa tumulus, is located c. 8 km to the south west of Phanagoria (Fig. 6). The mound was large (15m high and 350m in circumference) and incorporated four stone burial chambers and probably an additional cremation burial dug into the mound.
