Ts BC 36 lies 0.20km southwest (bearing 196° ) of Ts BC 37 and 1.86km southeast of Tsaghkahovit fortress (bearing 225°).
This cluster of cist burials lies on the west slope of a low, north-south oriented ridge, on the eastern bank of Ts Canal 3.
This burial cluster represents the only concentration of exclusively cist burials in the immediate hinterlands of Tsaghkahovit fortress and its Iron 3 lower town. Although most of the 13 visible burials are quite small, there is a single large grave in the center of the group (feature 2).
No surface materials.
Feature 1 (plate IXa): is quite typical of cist burials. It is 1.65m north-south and 1m east-west. The main body of the tomb is composed of small tuff and basalt cobbles, but the northern quarter of the cist is built of two medium-sized unworked basalt blocks.
Feature 2: in contrast, is the largest burial in the cluster and may indeed be two burials packed tightly together. The shape of the burial is quite irregular, 7.0m north-south and 4.2m east-west. The body of the burial is built of small tuff and basalt cobbles with three or four medium-sized basalt blocks strewn near the northern and southern extremities. In the center are three large unworked basalt blocks, which may be capstones.
