Summary/Abstract: In this article, the three Early Bronze Age graves from Devnya (Northeast Bulgaria) known from a 1972 publication are reviewed. A possible date in the range 3100-2900 BC for the graves is argued, with the necropolis being related to an EBA submerged site located south of it. Three more possible relationships Early Bronze Age settlements - flat necropolis from the area (Ezerovo, Topoli and Varna) are also discussed herein. Some other finds related to flat EBA graves from Balchik, Durankulak and Malak Preslavets, are also presented. Questions about the relationships between the flat and Yamnaya EBA graves in Northeast Bulgaria and North Dobruja are set within the frame of the last discoveries.
