Summary/Abstract: The article describes a group of funeral complexes of the Sabatoinovka Culture discovered in 2015 in the Tumulus Nr. 9 near Crihana Veche Village (Cahul District). The paper also proposes an analysis of peculiarities of funeral rites of the Sabati- novka Culture from the area between Dniester and Prut. As a rule, the funeral complexes of the culture under study are located in the south-eastern part of tumulus, as in the Tumulus Nr. 9 from Crihana Veche. The funeral rite and unearthed implements suggest a synchronisation of the funeral complex from the Tumulus Nr. 9 with the cultural circle Noua-Sabatinovka-Coslogeni, as well as the culture Monteoru (phase II B) and is dated back to 14th-13th centuries BC.
