Summary/Abstract: The diversity of burial structures and rites at the Getic necropolises of Sboryanovo raise the questions both about their social and ethnical identification. The increasing number of objects and structures of Celtic origin in Sboryanovo provokes the further investigations of the essence of the Thraco- Celtic relationships during the Early Hellenistic period. Several categories of Celtic types of monuments can be enumerated: pottery fragments at the Hellenistic town of Helis; female ornaments of different types in the tumuli and in the town; weapons and a chariot; a Celtic type of sanctuary; art presentations. The context of the Celtic structures and materials in Sboryanovo suggests that a process of peaceful infiltration and integration of the newcomers in the local Getic milieu.
