"Black Grave" - a mound of ancient Russian (Varangian) origin of the late tenth century in Chernihiv. Local legends attributed it to Prince Black, the legendary founder of Chernihiv. It is part of the Chernihiv Ancient State Historical and Architectural Reserve.
Excavated in 1872-1873 by D. Ya. Samokvasov. Remains of a large fire on which the corpses of two soldiers were burned (according to scientists, a father and son were buried in the mound), as well as probably male and female slaves, were found under the embankment; tools and women's jewelry were found in the mound.
Swords, chain mail, spearheads and arrowheads, metal vessels, pottery and much more were found in the fire.
In the embankment at a height of 7 m from the base lay helmets, chain mail, 2 gold Byzantine coins from the time of Basil and the Macedonian, and, apparently, ritual items (iron cauldron with ram bones, two sacrificial knives, bronze idol and two vessels of horns in silver coats ), laid at the time of the trizny. After the massacre, the mound fell asleep. Silver horn forgings are decorated with embossed floral ornaments, a large horn depicts a man and a woman with bows shooting at a bird, fantastic animals. Finds from the mound are stored in the State Historical Museum in Moscow.
