Graves of the Late Bronze Age from the Barrows of “Klin” Group on the Left Bank of the Lower Dniester

The paper publishes and analyzes for the first time the burials of the Late Bronze Age discovered in the barrows of the “Klin” group near the Glinoe village, Slobodzeya district, on the left bank of the Lower Dniester. The studied graves can be attributed to the Dnieper-Prut Babino and Sabatinvka cultures. These materials continue the series of publications addressing funerary sites of the Late Bronze Age from the vicinity of the Glinoe village, and let us talk about the continuity of funeral traditions in the region throughout the Middle and Late Bronze Age. All graves were radiocarbon dated. Two post-Catacomb burials are of particular interest. One of them (Glinoe/Klin 1/6) was accompanied by a Babino-type vessel with pictograms supposedly reproducing the “basic Indo-European myth.” The second grave (Glinoe/Klin 1/2), with the skeleton lying extended on the back and accompanied by a turnip-shaped vessel, should probably be attributed to the “Eupatoria group” of the Babino cultural circle.
