The article presents a few Late Bronze Age artefacts found on settlements near Ternovka village, Slobodzeia district, on the left babnk of the Lower Dniester. The new findings, when compared with the materials of earlier studies, allow to identify three chronological horizons of existence of the Late Bronze Age sites near Ternovka village: Late Babino — Early Sabatinovka, Sabatinovka and Beloziorka.
Poor saturation of the layer on the settlement Ternovka-1 shows that the site was not inhabited continually throughout the period of the Late Bronze Age, but was visited only episodically. The location of the settlement on a small butte amidst a wide floodplain on the left bank of the Dniester allows to regard it as a short-term station related to certain seasonal trades. While Ternovka-2 seems to be remains of a Sabatinovka settlement and requires further research.

Keywords: Dniester basin, Late Bronze Age, Babino cultural circle, Sabatinovka culture, Beloziorka culture, metal items
