It is obvious that in the construction of mounds, participated in a very large number of people. Huge work were employed in the construction of mounds. The result of archaeological research in the Novohopersk area was revealed only 24 and 32 groups.

Many barrows Prihoper′s threatens destruction in case of development in those Territories copper-nickel deposits.
