A slab thought to be an ancient sundial discovered in a Bronze Age barrow in Ukraine in 2011. In the course of archaeological excavations in the north western part of the Donetsk region a burial in tumulus 3 of the barrow group Popov Yar-2 was found. This unique stone floor slab has carvings inscribed into it.

In February 2013, the archaeologists sent pictures of the find to Larisa Vodolazhskaya of the Archaeoastronomical Research Center at Southern Federal University thinking she would find it interesting, given her work on Bronze Age petroglyphs.

Hi Guys,
The Popov Yar 2 stone from Ukraine records five lines on the left; then twelve lines across to the right. These are the numbers of the prehistoric Stonehenge Moon calendar, five days a week, twelve months a year, missing are six lines - the weeks a month. Combined with the Sun calendar five day weeks, four weeks a month and sixteen months a year; these twin systems were in use four four millennia across Europe and Britain until the Roman Empire ruled the area.

its all there,

Gravetop Sundial Reveals Lost Civilization's Tech Savvy by Andy B on Monday, 14 October 2013
(User Info | Send a Message)
A carved stone found marking a Bronze Age grave in the Ukraine is the oldest sundial of its kind ever found, a new study reveals.

The sundial may have marked the final resting place of a young man sacrificed or otherwise marked as a messenger to the gods or ancestors, said study researcher Larisa Vodolazhskaya of the Archaeoastronomical Research Center at Southern Federal University in Russia. Vodolazhskaya analyzed the geometry of the tire-size stone and its carvings, confirming the stone would have marked the time using a system of parallel lines and an elliptical pattern of circular depressions.

The elliptical pattern makes the carving an analemmatic sundial. A traditional sundial marks the time using a gnomon, a fixed vertical that casts a shadow. An analemmatic sundial has a gnomon that must move every day of the year to adjust to the changing position of the sun in the sky.

Analemmatic and Horizontal Sundials of the Bronze Age (Northern Black Sea Coast) Larisa Vodolazhskaya
(Submitted on 26 Sep 2013)

The paper presents the results of a study of unique plate with images of Srubna burial of tumuli group Popov Yar-2 (Ukraine) and plate of Srubna burial of tumulus field Tavriya-1 (Russia). A distinctive feature of the images is the orderliness and symmetry of the composition, as well as the location of elliptical cupped depressions. With the help of mathematical and astronomical methods we prove in this paper that the plates with the images are the ancient sundials.

At the Popov Yar-2 plate located two sundials, which worked at the same time: the analemmatic sundial and the horizontal sundial with two gnomons and the linear scale. At the Tavriya-1 plate located analemmatic sundial. On the basis of the reconstruction of the linear parameters of the gnomon of both Popov Yar-2 plate sundials and given the scale value of horizontal sundial, in the article that the potential indirect impact protoscientific knowledge of ancient Egypt to the Srubna population in the Northern Black Sea coast.
