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.
