"The Opushky burial site is a site of archaeological heritage of Ukraine, discovered and put into scientific circulation in 2003. The burial site is located in the central part of the Crimean foothills, 2.0-2.5 km southwest of Opushky village, Mazansky village council, Simferopol district, Autonomous Republic of Crimea. The burial ground was created and actively used from the first century B.C. to the fourth century A.D. Opushky is called the only barbarian necropolis in Crimea that existed throughout Roman times.
