The article examines new data supporting the author’s previously proposed Reuto-Dniester hypothesis for the origins of the Sakharna-Solonceni culture (and, more generally, the Carpathian-Dniester Incised and Stamped Pottery (ISP) cultures). The focus is on a specific and rare type of Sakharna-Solonceni ceramics: “cylindrical” mugs. Direct and close analogies to these mugs are found in the Edinets and Costişa cultures (which the author previously proposed as ancestral to the Sakharna-Solonceni and ISP cultures of the Carpathian-Dniester region). In turn, this type of ceramic “cylindrical” mugs of the Edinets and Costişa cultures could be inspired by their related cultures of the early Bronze Age from the Carpathian Basin (such as Schneckenberg, Hatvan and Nagyrév).

Keywords: Bronze Age, Early Hallstatt, Incised and Stamped Pottery cultures, Carpathian-Danubian region, origin
