a number of identical features in the forms and decorations of Dnipro variant of Sabatynivka culture items, which brings them closer to the items of Loboikivka type of Berezhnivsko-Maivska Zrubna culture and Kardashynka types of Bilohrudivka and Bilozerka cultures. It reflects their genetic connection as well as co-existence in the region which served as the contact area. Therefore it is possible that although Kryvyi Rih ore massif was under the control of Sabatynivka people, it also served as the raw basis of bronze production for their northern and eastern neighbors.
Keywords: Late Bronze Age, Kryvyi Rih metallurgy center Sabatynivka culture, casting foundries, hoards
are examined. They are the markers of peoples’ from the Central and
Eastern Ukraine – the Indo-Europeans – migrations at the end of III –
beginning of II millennia BC.
The article discusses the new concept of the genesis of Bronze Age cultures of southern regions in Eastern Europe, which is viewed through the prism of modern concepts of early stages of the region's metallurgy history. These concepts are based on the analysis of a large number of new finds of metal items. The evolution of kinds and types of metal products, their change and spreading through time and space were used as markers of cultural process in southern regions of Eastern
Europe, from Cucuteni-Trypillia culture to Corded Ware cultures — Yamnaya and later Babino, Srubnaya, Sabatinovka and Belogrudovka, from the second half of 5th to 1st mill. BC
mace occurrence horizons are characterised, one referring to the second half of the 3rd millennium BC, and the other to the second half of the
2nd and the early 1st millennia BC. The topogenesis and cultural attribution of the maces are suggested and their role in establishing long-distance
transit routes is described.
Keywords: stone maceheads, intermarine routes, Baltic-Pontic area, fluted maces, shaft-hole axes

This book introduces new archaeological materials, found in 2003-2020 years to scientific field. It contains the schemes of typochronology of items beginning from the most ancient metal products in Ukraine – items of period of Early Trypillia to Late Bronze Age. All in all, in this book about a thousand new bronze and copper
items are analyzed, including materials of 30 new hoardes, all of which are described
and analyzed. Due to this new material our level of knowledge extended not only greatly but also qualitatively – new, previously unknown categories of ancient metal tools and weapons are discovered. Numerous imported items from
Central Europe and Middle East were examined, which allows to view cultural
processes of Ukrainian territories at the time as part of general European processes
closely connected to Ancient World’s history.
The book covers only copper and bronze items of V – II millennia BC, rare golden and silver items require separate research.
Most of the items were spectrally analyzed. by T. Y. Hoshko and their creation technology studied. These data allowed us to create new picture of the Early Bronze Age Ukrainian cultural processes, which is based on history of metallurgy – vital part of that time cultural processes.
The cooperation between myself and Anatolyi V. Kozymenko for preserving archaeological legacy and introducing it into scientific field continues since 2009. For this time we released the book “Nash nedavniy bronzoviy vek” Kyiv, 2011 – the first catalog of his quite small at that time collection of metal (copper and bronze)
items from Eneolithic and Bronze Ages. In 2017 the second work was released “Drevniy metal Ukrainy”, which included more then a thousand copper and bronze items from his collection and come from period of Early Trypillia to Middle Ages.
Since then (2017) the collection of items from Eneolithic and Bronze Age of A. V. Kozymenko was extended almost two times, while my own database of this time items found in Ukraine extended four times. During this time, T. Y. Hoshko conducted around 300 new spectral analyses and examined the technology of creating
new, previously unknown tools – bushing axe-hacks (celts). The speed of new findings occurrence impresses, terrifies and calls to immediate actions. We have no right to lose the colossal amount of new information about ancient period of Ukrainian history.
Therefore, the large amount of new materials, which we introduce to scientific field allowed us to move to the new level of scientific generalizing and to create our own view on the age of early metal of Ukraine in the form of the essay of history of metallurgy in Eneolithic and Early-Middle Bronze Ages as a part of historical-cultural process until the emergence of Eastern Europe historical peoples, from V to beginning
of II millennia BC, from Early Trypillia to proto-Slavs and Thracians. The book is written in two languages – Ukrainian and English and well-illustrated – 170 tables of photos, pictures, maps and photos of separate items. The appendix includes the catalog of new additions to A. V. Kozymenko collection, 19 items spectral analyses tables and list of literature in two languages.
