Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the materials of the Late Bronze Age found in the barrows of the group “Plavni” near the Glinoe village, Slobodzeya district, located in the Krasnaya River basin on the left bank of the Lower Dniester. 18 graves of the Late Bronze Age were discovered in 2 mounds. The investigated burials can be attributed to the Dnieper-Prut Babino culture, Sabatinovka culture and Belozerka culture. The presented materials allow us to speak about the continuity of funerary traditions in the region throughout the Late Bronze Age. Puck-shaped beads made from vertebrae of large fish from a grave of the Sabatinoka time are the most interesting among the finds.
