Summary/Abstract: Based on the analysis of newly discovered spearheads with a short sheath of the Late Bronze Age in the northern Black Sea, the data being obtained from virtual sources and those from literature, their new typological scheme is proposed. The items are classified into four types: Obukhovka, Marinovka, Dremailovka and Krasnyj Mayak. The first two and Krasnyj Mayak type are divided into three variants each and Dremailovka type into four. Variants I-IV delineated within these types represent groups of spearheads consecutively succeeded in time, starting with the set of Loboikovka-Golourov bronze of late Srubnaia culture (Berezhnovsk-Maevsk after V.V. Otroshchenko) from the left bank of the Dnieper and of the first phase of the early stages of Sabatinovka and Noua cultures until the early stage of Belozerka culture (stages IV-VI of the late Bronze age period in Eastern Europe, 16th/15th - 13th/12th centuries BC, or BzB2/C1-BzD/HaA1, according to central European chronological scheme.
