Summary/Abstract: The category of cuff bracelets characteristic of West Balt Bogaczewo and Sudovian cultures during В2/С1 and С1 is examined in the context of previously unknown data from cemeteries in the Sambian-Natangian area. The paper presents the reconstruction and analysis of Sirenevo (Eisselbitten) burial 30, based on new data from Moskovskoye 1 Cemetery, making it possible to examine the chronology and range of this jewellery type in a somewhat new light.
