Abstract
The barrows of the Yamnaya culture located along the middle Dniester River (southern
Ukraine, Yampil region) became a matter of concern for a Polish-Ukrainian archaeological
expedition. As a result of this joint effort, a series of earlier studies of the barrows were
published and additional excavations were conducted. A total of seven barrows located at four
archaeological sites were excavated. Consequently, a variety of new materials were obtained,
which made it possible to perform extensive specialist analyses (radiocarbon, isotope, and
aDNA, among others). The results of this research show a broader picture of local Yamnaya
culture communities, allowing a comparison with Central European Corded Ware culture
communities and contributing immensely to the discussion regarding the relations between
these groups.
