Archaeologists have unearthed gold and silver jewelry at an early-medieval burial ground near the city of Sevastopol in Crimea.
The new finds indicate that the burial ground — the Almalyk-dere necropolis on the Mangup plateau, about 10 miles (16 kilometers) east of Sevastopol — was for elite members of a society that spread across southwestern Crimea from the late fourth century until the sixth century.
