The article publishes the results of excavations of two barrows located near Tuzly village, Berezan district, Nikolaev region. The mounds hid burials of different cultural and historical horizons of the Bronze Age: Yamnaya, Catacomb and Babino cultural-historical communities. Yamnaya culture complexes of the South Bug variant containing seven anthropomorphic stelae, amphora with plastic “horns” and a silver pendant are of particular interest. Late Bronze Age burials with handmade vessel, two bone buckles and an arrowhead complement a series of similar complexes of the Dnieper-Prut Babino culture. The article has three annexes: analysis of the anthropological and archaeozoological materials and spectral analysis of the metal.

Keywords: North Black Sea Region, Bronze Age, III — first half of II millenia BC, barrows, funerary practice.
