The article introduces and analyzes the findings from the study of Scythian burial 6 in barrow 8 of the "North" group near Glinoe village on the left bank of the Lower Dniester. The burial mound was constructed over the main cremated Scythian grave in a square pit, oriented with its angles to the cardinal directions. The buried individual was placed diagonally across the pit, stretched out on his back with his head to the west. The grave had been looted in ancient times. Five bronze three-bladed arrowheads were found among the grave goods, providing a means to date the burial to the second half of the 6th century BC. This burial is among the earliest and extremely rare Scythian burials in the North-West Black Sea region, indicating the initial presence of the Scythians in the western edge of the North Black Sea steppes.

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.

The article analyzes the early medieval grave Glinoe 13/2 investigated in 2008 on
the left bank of the Lower Dniester. The burial was sunk into the Scythian barrow. The
inventory included a knife, an earring, an awl and a fireflint. The sheep femur lay
behind the skull of the buried. An analysis of the funerary rite and inventory made it
possible to date the Glinoe 13/2 grave to the 9th—10th centuries. Radiocarbon dating of
human and sheep bones made it possible to specify the time of the internment until the
end of the 9th — the first half of the 10th century. An analysis of the peculiarities of
the placement of sacrificial food remains and the composition of species in it in the
medieval burials of the North Black Sea region confirms the Early Hungarian attribution
of the published grave. This burial is included in the group of Early Hungarian graves
near the Glinoe village, which reflects the presence of a large family in this
microregion. These circumstances, together with the date of the Frumusica graves and
evidence from the written sources, allow us to state the presence of the Early
Hungarians in the Lower Dniester region at the beginning of the 10 th century.

The papers addresses the graves of the Sabatinovka time, discovered in barrow 3 of the "Rybkhoz" group near Glinoe village, Slobodzeya district, located in the basin of the Krasnaya river on the left bank of the Lower Dniester. In total, 13 burials of the Late Bronze Sabatinovka culture were recorded in the mound, which were sunk into the large mound of a Yamnaya (Pit Graves) cultural and historical community, 12 of them concentrating in a compact group in the southern sector of the mound. Burial 96 is of the greatest interest, accompanied by a deep bowl with an S-shaped profile, combining features of the Komarov and Berezhnovka-Maevka Timber-grave culture. All burials were dated by radiocarbon dating. The Sabatinovka cemetery in barrow Glinoe/Rybkhoz 3 can be dated within 1620—1535 BC according to the combined radiocarbon date, which is quite consistent with the supposed dating of the vessel from grave 96.
