Arzhan
Arzhan is a site of early Scythian kurgan burials, located in the Tuva Republic, Russia, some the north-west of Kyzyl.
Arzhan is situated on a high plateau, traversed by the Uyuk River, a minor tributary of the Yenisei River.
The excavations showed burials with rich grave goods including horses and gold artefacts. The total number of kurgans is several hundred, arranged in several parallel chains.
Arzhan-1 was excavated by M. P. Gryaznov in the 1970s, establishing the origins of Scythian culture in the region in the 9th to 8th centuries BCE.
Further excavations were conducted in 1997 and in 1998-2003 (Arzhan-2). Arzhan-2 turned out to be an undisturbed (unlooted) burial.
