Tumuli (kurgans) from Brînzenii Noi and Rogojeni (Rescue Archaeological Research 2013)

This article puts in the scientific use results of rescue research of the mound (tumulus) no.1 from the village of Brânzenii Noi (Teleneşti District) and the mound (tumulus) no.1 from the village of Rogojeni (Şoldăneşti District). The vast majority of burials in the mounds studied belong to the Yamna culture, Early Bronze Age. One burial from the mound 1 in Brînzenii Noi refers to antiquities of the Noua culture, Late Bronze Age. In conclusion, the authors consider the issues of coexistence of the Late Yamna culture tribes with the bearers of the Catacomb culture in such a peculiar ecological niche as the floodplain of the Middle Răut.
