Summary/Abstract: Having completed a typological study of different features of 282 interments on the cemetery in Chaplin and some other sites, the author concludes: as time passes, the number of interments in big round-shaped pits decreases, the percentage of interments with remains of mortuary fire increasing; the number of interments with arms grows, which is absolutely not typical of Zarubintsy culture. The author supposes that the later stages of existence of Zarubintsy culture were characterised by less peaceful and quiet situation in Upper Dnieper area, compared to Polesye.
