According to director of the centre of protection and research of the archeological monuments of the department of culture of the Poltava Regional State Administration Oleksandr Suprunenko, the woman was very influential.

The things found next to her prove this, namely a bronze mirror, a dagger and iron scissors as well as a unique silver brooch. Besides, an iron awl was stuck in the woman's head. Sarmatians is a general name of the people that dominated in the Ukrainian steppes after collapse of the Scythian state. According to Herodotus, the Sarmatians originated from Amazonians who married Scythian men.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	I loved this -- "the woman was very influential... an iron awl was stuck in the woman's head". I know that I'm much more influential when I'm running around with an iron awl stuck in my head. If that doesn't work, I try cookin' meth in a cola bottle stuck down in my pants.
