Several years ago a group of Chelyabinsk State University’s archaeologists started digging near the Ural River, near Kizil'skoye. According to experts studying the Bronze Age, finds of this expedition have been a sensation. Russian researchers have been able to make reconstructions of the faces of early people that lived in the Southern Ural Mountains in the second half of the 3rd millennium B.C.

A burial monument was unearthed in the flood plain of River Ural. It consisted of around thirty strongly blurred barrows 20 to 40 см high. Examination of the first barrow revealed that people of a culture more ancient than cultures of Arkaim and Sintashta were buried there. It is the Yamna culture, which is over 200-300 years older than that of Arkaim.

"For us it was an important event. Our plans have long included the search for archaeological evidence that would shed light on the origins of Sintashta-Arkaim culture. This culture is of great interest in the scientific world and is connected with problem of the origin and early history of Indo-Europeans. This is a true historical story, with many unknowns, which is already more than 150 years of investigation from linguists and archaeologists"- said Tatiana Malyutina, CSU Associate Professor in the History Department .

The archaeologists found buried a young woman, who they call a "princess". The nature of the burial showed that in life she enjoyed great respect. During the field season of 2010 another burial was excavated and archaeologists found more more remains.

On the basis of the found skulls of a man from the Arkaim necropolis and the woman from Kizilsky burial ground the anthropologists from Ufa and Samara have reconstructed their appearance in plaster busts. The busts have arrived in Chelyabinsk. It can be said that these images convey appearance of South Ural dwellers of the second half oif the 3rd millennium B.C. with 80 per cent accuracy.
