On the territory of historic Yatvingia, burial sites of elite warriors with leadership roles have been discovered through archival research and recent excavations. This paper presents sepulchral finds from Szurpiły, Krukówek (Suwałki District), and Stacze (Olecko District). In Szurpiły, a grave on Góra Zamkowa’s slopes stands out. The young warrior buried there was treated distinctively—his remains were placed in multiple pits, covered by a shared stone pavement encircled by large boulders and steles. Though modestly furnished, the grave held decorative helmet fittings, while nearby finds included elite weaponry. In Krukówek, a large pit contained multiple male and female burials with rich grave goods, including weapons and horsemen’s gear. In Stacze, on a sandy hill resembling a burial mound, spearheads and an imported sword with an engraved inscription were among the key discoveries.
