Summary/Abstract: The monograph publishes materials of the diggings on a group of barrows (27 burials of 4 barrows and a barrow-shrine of the Scythian time) at the village Mokra on the left shore of the Middle Dniester. A separate chapter is dedicated to history of the archaeological study of the suburbs of Ribnita. Though burials of pit culture (Yamnaya) are represented in large numbers, the paper mainly focuses on complexes of the Roman time. A special attention is paid on the burial №2 of the barrow II, attributed as a burial of the top Sarmatian aristocracy. The burial is dated by the first quarter of II c. AD and belongs to the early Alans. Quite curious is a Wielbark burial (ą1 barrow II) dated by the late II c. AD.
