Somebody on the US Coin Forum brought this to my attention.

Absolutely incredible workmanship in the helmet and broach!!!

This person definitely had some power within the social group he was a part of.

I'm going to do a Google Earth to see the type of area they're referring to---


<< <i>...necropolis of the mountains of the Caucasus... >>



Just back from GEing the area (near Mezmay). Very interesting article about the dig (Related link).
