CHAPTER III—THE SUCCESSIVE CULTURES AT ANAU. 
We have come now to a general review of the more salient characteristics 
of the different cultures exposed in our excavations. For the detailed description 
of the finds from these, the reader is referred to Part II, by Dr. Schmidt. 
After a mutual agreement as to the location of points for attacking the kurgans, 
the archeological part of the work was left wholly to Dr. Schmidt, who kept a 
current record in such a manner that the derivation of nearly every object collected 
is known, both as to the particular excavation in which it occurred and as to the

on the side of the kurgans. In the same manner I had all the bones of animals 
that were found in the North Kurgan collected and preserved, and labeled in such 
a manner that in every case the derivation was recorded to show the horizontal 
and vertical position in the kurgan. This collection, aggregating nearly half a ton, 
was studied by Dr. J. Ulrich Duerst of Ziirich, to whose report in this publication 
the reader is referred.
