Few settlements from the Komarov culture have been found. One settlement at Komarov, from which the culture is named, contained twenty small single-roomed houses.

The Komarov culture is best known for its inhumation burials. These are set into a stone- or timber-covered grave covered with a tumulus. Cremations and flat grave burials are also known. Decorations found on ceramics, and the presence of stone rings and cromlechs around the base of the tumuli, indicate that a sun cult existed among the Komarov people.

The Komarov culture is believed to have originated within the Corded Ware horizon, with which is shares numerous similarites, including burial rites, ceramics and metallurgical traditions. It is closely related to the Trzciniec culture. The Komarov culture is usually associated with the evolution of the Proto-Slavs or the Thracians.

gollark: Skynet has:- very simple publish/subscribe mechanism- actual protocol documentation- good performance- working client codeSPUDNET has:- vastly complicated node.js monolith which fails to scale- client code rewritten repeatedly because it's more complex and needs different environment things- documentation scattered across random Discord channels, some of which doesn't mention important features, plus similarly scattered code samples- 17249182649124 kilofeatures such as private channels, comm mode, the reporting system, HTTP-only mode- better acronym- potatOS
gollark: It's outdated, SPUDNET is better anyway.
gollark: No, I made skynet, for purposes.
