Summary/Abstract: This article presents the preliminary results of the 2024 and 2025 excavation of a barrow at site 7 in Dukla, Krosno district. The fieldwork covered an area of almost 400 sq. m, including the current extent of the barrow mound and its immediate surroundings. Beneath the mound, a unique burial site comprising the remains of a funeral pyre, cremated human remains, and grave goods was unearthed. Various sepulchral features were recorded in the immediate vicinity of the mound, including “clean” urned burials, urned burials overlain by pyre debris, and pit burials containing ash, charcoal, pottery fragments, and cremated bones. Based on the ceramic material obtained, the discovered features can be associated with one of the “Transcarpathian” cultures of the Older or Middle Bronze Age.
