Yea they found burials of them....they were nomadic and even buried thier horses in graves. The mummies had blondish hair. Thier are still people in those regions that have this mix of race in them and are expert horsemen. I saw a PBS special on that group.

Hi,

these people were called scytians or sarmatians. I don't know if they were called dacians.
They lived in the area north/east of the black sea north/east from Turkey. In their graves they found female skeletons with "typical male" burial objects like weapons. In some graves with male skeletons they found "typical femal" burial objects like spindels. Most female skeletons had traces of fights on their bones, the abrasion showed that the fought, must have been wounded and rode on horses w/o saddle. They didn't find a !queens grave" but a huge grave mound with a female skeleton buried with a lot of waepons (swords, arrows, knifes, quiver, chain mail, helmets, clothes, jewels) and other things who showed her high rank. Lyn Webster Wilde wrote about these graves and suggested in her book that these female warriors might have been the reason why the greek literature and history reported about the amazons. Very interesting book I can recommend if you are interested in this tribe. As the graves are all in Russia, they have no money to show the burial objects around or report about the findings. Lyn Webster Wilde also describes the situation of the museum who keeps some of the burial objects.
