Summary/Abstract: The article describes seven new hoards of metal objects belonging to the Cucuteni-Tripol'e Culture from the Middle Dniester area (Ukraine). The data on these hoards, discovered by amateurs by means of metal detectors, were obtained from web sources. The component parts are summarized, and the chronological and cultural position of the hoards is determined, in relation to already known complexes. Based on the composition and conditions of discovery, the existence of two groups of hoards is revealed: a Southern one (where deposits from the early stages, Precucuteni and Cucuteni A prevail) and a Northern one (in which exclusively deposits of later phases occur).
