Adama Mickiewicza (Poznań). Instytut Prahistorii Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza (Poznań). Instytut Wschodni., 2015) Ivanova, Svetlana; Klochko, Viktor; Kośko, Aleksander; Szmyt, Marzena; Toschev, Gennadiy; Włodarczak, Piotr; Kośko, Aleksander; Żebrowski, PiotrThe article presents the present state of research on the general issue of the dniester region of cultural contacts between communities settling the Baltic and Pontic drainage basins . Some five domains of research shall be brought to discussion in which it is possible to see fresh opportunities for archaeological study, on the basis of ‘Yampil studies’ on dniester-Podolia (forest-steppe) barrow-culture ceremonial centres from the latter half of the 4th millennium and first half of the 3rd millennium BC . This relates to the peoples of the Eneolithic and the Early Bronze age . in terms of topogenesis, embracing the Pontic-Tripolye, Yamnaya and Catacomb cultures, as well as Globular amphora and Corded ware in central prehistoric Europe .Item THE MIDDLE-DNIESTER CULTURAL CONTACT AREA OF EARLY METAL AGE SOCIETIES. THE FRONTIER OF PONTIC AND BALTIC DRAINAGE BASINS IN THE 4TH/3RD-2ND MILLENNIUM BC.(Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza (Poznań). Instytut Prahistorii Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza (Poznań). Instytut Wschodni., 2015) Ivanova, Svetlana; Toschev, Gennadiy; Kośko, Aleksander; Żebrowski, PiotrThe paper discusses the taxonomy and autogenesis of the cycle of early ‘barrow cultures’ developed by the local communities of the middle Dniester Area or, in a broader comparative context, the north-western Black Sea Coast, in the 4th/3rd-2nd millennium BC . The purpose of the study is to conduct an analytical and conceptual entry point to the research questions of the dniester Contact area, specifically the contacts between autochthonous ‘late Eneolithic’ communities (Yamnaya, Catacomb and Babyno cultures) and incoming communities from the Baltic basin . The discussion of these cultures continues in other papers presented in this volume of Baltic-Pontic Studies.Item ANTHROPOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION OF SKELETAL MATERIAL FROM THE DNIESTER BARROW - CEMETERY COMPLEX, YAMPIL REGION, VINNITSA OBLAST (UKRAINE)(Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza (Poznań). Instytut Prahistorii Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza (Poznań). Instytut Wschodni., 2015) Litvinova, Liudmyla; Łukasik, Sylwia; Żurkiewicz, Danuta; Gwizdała, Marta; Chyleński, Maciej; Malmström, Helena; Jakobsson, Mattias; Juras, Anna; Żebrowski, PiotrAnthropological examinations were performed on skeletal material from four barrow necropolises located in the Yampil region (Ukraine) and dated to the Eneolithic, Bronze age and iron age . The purpose of the examinations was the determination of sex and age at death of individuals, reconstruction of their stature and assessment of their status of health . The examinations covered 61 individuals: 17 children and 44 adults . Their health status was assessed using four common indicators: linear enamel hypoplasia, cribra orbitalia, porotic hyperostosis and dental caries.Item CHRONOMETRY OF LATE ENEOLITHIC AND ‘EARLY BRONZE’ CULTURES IN THE MIDDLE DNIESTER AREA: INVESTIGATIONS OF THE YAMPIL BARROW COMPLEX(Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza (Poznań). Instytut Prahistorii Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza (Poznań). Instytut Wschodni., 2015) Goslar, Tomasz; Klochko, Viktor; Kośko, Aleksander; Włodarczak, Piotr; Żurkiewicz, Danuta; Żebrowski, PiotrThe paper discusses the 2010-2015 studies of the radiocarbon chronology of Podolia ‘barrow cultures’ on the left bank of the middle dniester . The studies have relied on series of 14 C dates for the Klembivka 1, Pidlisivka 1, Porohy 3a and Prydnistryanske 1 sites determined in Kyiv and Poznań laboratories . They are the first attempt to construct a regional (‘Yampil’) radiocarbon scale for ‘Early Bronze’ funerary rites (4th/3rd-2nd millennium BC) as practised by barrow builders – the communities of the Tripolye and Yamnaya cultures – and the secondary barrow users – the designers of necropolises located on barrows – belonging to the Catacomb, Babyno and Noua cultures.Item ENEOLITHIC, BABYNO AND NOUA CULTURE CEMETERIES, KLEMBIVKA, SITE 1, YAMPIL REGION, VINNITSA OBLAST: ARCHAEOMETRY, TAXONOMY AND TOPOGENETICS(Uniwersytet im.

Forest-steppe middle dniester and prut drainage basins in the 4th/3rd-2nd millennium bc: a history of investigations(Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza (Poznań). Instytut Prahistorii Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza (Poznań). Instytut Wschodni., 2015-09) Ivanova, Svetlana; Toschev, Gennadiy; Żebrowski, PiotrThe paper presents a historiographic context helpful in the current investigations of the cultural contacts between the societies of the east and west of Europe in the borderland of Podolia and moldova in the late Eneolithic and the prologue of the Bronze age . The focus is on the state of research (chiefly taxonomic and topogenetic) into the sequence of taxa in the age of early ‘barrow-building’, identified in the funerary rituals of societies settling the forest-steppe of the north- western Black Sea Coast in the 4th/3rd-2nd millennium BC .
