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.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEneolithicYamnayaCatacombBabynoDniesternorth-western Black Sea CoastArtykuł
