Victor Ivanovich Klochko (Kločko, Kloczko, Клочко)
Born: 23 September 1948, Tiuri, Estonia. Ukrainian. Lives in Kyiv, Ukraine.
Victor I. Klochko spent his childhood in Alchevsk, Donbas. He joined the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, in 1970, originally as the technician-photographer. He received a degree in History from the Department of History of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.
Klochko received the Candidate of Sciences (Ph.D.) degree for his thesis “Weaponry of Late Bronze Tribes on Ukrainian Territories” from the Institute of Archeology, Kyiv, in 1989. The thesis was published as Weapons of the Tribes of the Northern Pontic Zone in the 16th – 10th centuries B.C. Poznaс (Baltic-Pontic Studies, vol.1) in 1993.
At the conference of Department of History Council in the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznaс, Poland, in October 2002, he defended his Doctoral thesis under the monography «Weaponry of the Societies of the Northern Pontic Culture Circle: 5000-700 BC» Poznaс, 2001 (Baltic-Pontic Studies, vol.10), and was awarded the Polish Diploma of Doctor Habilitatus of Humanities (Archeology) on 7 May 2003.
To comply with the degree nostrification procedure, Klochko defended that thesis again at the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv in December 2004 and was awarded the Ukrainian Diploma of Doctor of Archeology by the High Examination Committee of Ukraine on 8 June 2005.
His career includes positions at the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine: junior research assistant (1989-1991), head of the Field Committee (1991-1998), senior research fellow (1998-2000); Assistant Head of Academic Research at the Heritage Research Institute of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine (2001-2008); lead research fellow at the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (2008-2013).
Victor Klochko has served as Professor at the Institute of Archeology of the University of Gdaсsk, Poland (2003-2015); Professor of the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy (Department of History, MA Program in Archeology and Ancient History of Ukraine) since 2008; and Head of the Archeology Department at the national University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, Kyiv, Ukraine, from 2013 to 2023.
He has served as a Member of the Editorial Board of the “Baltic-Pontic Studies” international publications series (Poznan, Poland), since 1993. He has been a Corresponding Member of the German Institute of Archeology (Korrespondierende Mitglieder des Deutschen Archдologischen Institut).
Klochko’s academic research focuses on the history of weaponry and war of ancient peoples of Eastern Europe; bronze and copper metallurgy of ancient peoples of Eastern Europe; absolute chronology of archeological sites of Eastern Europe of 4000 - 1000 BC.
Conducted field researches on more than 200 archeological sites, situated in Kyiv, Cherkasy, Vinnitsia, Mykolaiv and Luhansk oblasts. Some of them: kurgans of eneolithic-bronze age near the city of Myronivka, Kyiv oblast, Sybotivske Horodyshche of Black Forest culture (Chugurun district, Cherkasu oblast), Hordievsky grave field of late bronze age (Trostjznetsky district, Vinnitsia oblast), “Merheleva Ridge” complex of eneolithic – early and late bronze (Perevalsky district, Luhansk oblast). Author and co-author of more than 130 scientific works, including 19 monographies (3 of them – individual).

The analysis of findings in the area of Kryvyi Rih metallurgy center shows
a number of identical features in the forms and decorations of Dnipro variant of Sabatynivka culture items, which brings them closer to the items of Loboikivka type of Berezhnivsko-Maivska Zrubna culture and Kardashynka types of Bilohrudivka and Bilozerka cultures. It reflects their genetic connection as well as co-existence in the region which served as the contact area. Therefore it is possible that although Kryvyi Rih ore massif was under the control of Sabatynivka people, it also served as the raw basis of bronze production for their northern and eastern neighbors.

In the vicinity of Yampil (Vinnytsia oblast, Ukraine), there exists a cluster of barrows dating back to the Eneolithic and Early Bronze Age. Nestled upon the Podillia Upland, this concentration lies at the crossroads of two cultural spheres: the Eastern European steppe and Central European region. The exploration of the Yampil barrows began during the 1980s by archaeologists from Vinnytsia. This endeavour was enriched by a Polish-Ukrainian expedition that conducted fieldwork from 2010 to 2014. Seven barrows were then examined. Today, an abundance of radiocarbon data allows the construction of a precise chronological framework for the Yampil barrow graves. We can now discern four principal stages in this sequence: (1) Late Eneolithic, (2) early Yamna, (3) late Yamna era, and (4) Catacombna. During the first two periods (3350-2800 cal BC), these barrows were meticulously constructed, sometimes evolving in multiple phases. In the latter two stages (2800-2400 cal BC), cemeteries took shape, marked by graves deliberately dug into the fully formed mounds.

The Impact of Cucuteni-Trypillia Cultural Society on the Genesis of Bronze Age Cultures from Northern Pontic Area (the overview on the Problem through the History of Copper-Bronze Metallurgy in the Region)
The article discusses the new concept of the genesis of Bronze Age cultures of southern regions in Eastern Europe, which is viewed through the prism of modern concepts of early stages of the region's metallurgy history. These concepts are based on the analysis of a large number of new finds of metal items. The evolution of kinds and types of metal products, their change and spreading through time and space were used as markers of cultural process in southern regions of Eastern
Europe, from Cucuteni-Trypillia culture to Corded Ware cultures — Yamnaya and later Babino, Srubnaya, Sabatinovka and Belogrudovka, from the second half of 5th to 1st mill. BC

The paper is dedicated to studying the genesis and building the typechronology of metal axes of early period of yamna culture of Ukraine using all the artifacts and archaeological complexes, available for the author. Currently the reare two main theories of metal axes of Eastern Europe origins: «Maykop» and «Samara». The main theses of «Maykop» theory are presented in works of E. N. Chernyh, S. N. Kornievsky and A. L. Nechytailo. Detailed historiographic referative representation of this theory was recently preformedby V. A. Derhachev, which readers should get acquainted themselves. From my point of view the main problem of this theory is that on the line of ax is connections Baniabik-Maykop-Novosvobodnaya of Central Europe and North Caucasus, declared by the authors of this theory, terra incognita called «Ukraine» is located. The alternative theory, which I call «Samara», and which is systematically ignored by the authors and followers of «Maykop» theory, including V. A. Derhachev...

A set of sources embodied by features 1149A and 1149B at Święte 11, Jarosław District, Podkarpackie Province, is one of a kind in Lesser Poland as it includes a vessel associated with steppe cultures of the Northwest Black Sea Coast. The vessel has been discovered in a stratigraphic context that is not fully clear. It probably constituted an offering (trizna) connected with the male burial identified in the niche grave underneath. The vessel appears to be linked to the late Yamnaya/early Catacomb horizon. Such chronological attribution is further supported by an absolute date of the 2nd half of the third millennium BC established for bones. The vessel sits alongside other finds that provide corroboration for connections the population of the younger Corded Ware phase in Lesser Poland had with eastern European regions.

About the invasion to the Eastern Europe Protoscythian nomads from the Eastern Eurasia in 9 millennia BC,
except Karasuk culture people from Altai, people of Begazy-Dandybai culture of Kazakhstan.
The new findings of Burchmulla type arrows of Begazy-Dandybai culture of Kazakhstan in Ukraine mark the campaigns of the invaders to Left-bank Ukraine (Kharkiv, Summy, Chernihiv regions). Many of such arrows were found near Kremenchuk (Dnipro transfer?) and right-bank Cherkasy region, Podillia and Bukovyna.
Apart from the arrows, there are markers of this migration wave – bronze items of Eastern type weaponry, first of all, light slotted heads of spears or darts, “Kent” and “Shagalaly” types, which autor also connects to the Begazy-Dandybai culture of
Kazakhstan. The similarity of forms of slotted heads of Begazy-Dandybai culture spears 800–700 BC and slotted heads of “Zlatopol” type spears Berezhnivka-Maivka Zrubna culture of Ukraine 1600 – 1300 BC can be explained by the migration of this culture’s people in 1300–1200 BC to the east and the participation of Loboikivka metallurgy tradition in the emergence
of the metallurgy of “platen” cultures of Eastern Eurasia 1200–800 BC .
Therefore, it can be assumed that part of the Protoscythian nomads, which came to the Eastern Europe from Eastern Eurasia in ІХ–VIII centuries BC consisted of people of Begazy-Dandybai culture and was ethnically close to the people of present Eastern Ukraine of that time.

In 1970 A. Vulpe described the new type of copper axes, which were found in Central Europe-it was given a name Veselinovo. This type is identical to the late variants of Kolontaiv-Corbaska type of the Catacomb culture of SouthEastern Europe. The complete classification of said type was recently developed by myself. The recent findings in so-called Rodotopi hoard in Ioannina include the axes of the late variant of this type. The spectral analysis of axes in both hoard of Rodotopi and Kolontaiv-Corbaska type axes coming from archaeological memorials of Catacomb culture in Ukraine shows that raw materials of both groups of items are similar. These axes, in my opinion, are the markers of connections between North Pontic Region and the Mycenae Greece during the Catacomb period of Bronze Age. In this article I describe axes of different-time Kolontaiv-Corbaska type variants, which were found in Catacomb culture memorials in Ukrainian territory. Secondly, I analyze late variants of Kolontaiv-Corbaska type axes and recently discovered findings from the hoard of Rodotopi using the comparing method. As the result, the following hypothesis is suggested: during migration processes, which took place in the end of third-beginning of second millennia BC, the Indo-European peoples from Southern Ukrainian territories, migrated south to the modern Bulgaria and Northern Greece, where they participated in the formation of Mycenae Greek culture.

At the Dawn of Metallurgy in the West of the Baltic-Pontic Intermarine Area. The Concept of Impulses from Subcarpathia, Podolia and Volhynia: an Outline of Currently Discussed Issues – When assessing the civilisation level of societies classified as Middle Neolithic ‘megalithic cultures’, priority must be given to their cohabitation with the neighbouring centres of Eneolithic cultures, directly exposed to the impact of the early-metal proto-civilisation from the Balkans. Between the Vistula and Dnieper Rivers, this cohabitation involves above all the relations between the Funnel Beaker culture on the one hand, and the Brześć Kujawski, Lublin-Volhynia and especially Tripolye cultures on the other. The article examines the concept mentioned in the title and argues for taking
a greater account – in further research – of ‘Pontic experiences’ with the local metallurgy of first arsenical copper and then arsenical bronze. Another major aspect is their distribution, begun ca. 3600 BC, between the Baltic and Black Seas (cf. a preliminary approach by Evgeniy N. Chernykh: circumpontic metallurgical province → circumpontic cultural province). The research is carried out further by an analytical programme (drawing on archaeology and metal science) being currently pursued by Viktor I. Klochko, forming part of the study of the autogenesis of the Carpathian-Volhynia centre of metallurgy. Moreover, it is important to include this metal-science conception in the wider circulation of knowledge on the archaeology of the Baltic-Pontic Intermarine Area.

The article discusses the sources of innovations that paved the way for metallurgy in the Late Bronze Age and a number of fallacies, forming the legacy of Soviet archaeology, that entered the contemporary archaeology of Eastern Europe and gained the status of axioms underpinning the body of universally recognized knowledge. One such fallacy is the “Seymin-Turbin Transcultural Phenomenon that was born
in the Altay Territory” (Chernykh, Kuzminykh 1987). When viewed in the light of newly discovered facts, it turns out that the Seymin terra incognita of V.S. Bochkarov was situated not in Siberia but in Right-Bank Ukraine. This region, unlike the Volga Region or even less so the Altay, since the 5th millennium BC had formed the northern portion of an Eneolithic early-agrarian civilisation according to Machnik
(1987). These several millennia of cultural development
ensured ‘an exceptionally high development level of metallurgy and metalworking for those times’ in Eastern Europe (Klochko 2017a), which in turn had a considerable impact on the subsequent cultural development of northern Eurasia.
Therefore, does it appear that the Aryans set out on
their route to India from the banks of the Dnieper? Or rather from the banks of the Rhine but via the Dnieper? What will DNA analyses tell us?

Luristan is one of the provinces of modern Iran, located in the west of the country.
In the 20s and early 30s of the XX century in European markets and, accordingly, in collections of famous European museums and in private collections, surprisingly elegant bronze products made by wax casting began to appear - mainly parts of chariot horse harnesses, weapons, exquisite jewelry and etc.
All of them were obtained as a result of predatory excavations of burial grounds located on the territory of Luristan, which were carried out by local residents - lura. When European archaeologists reached these remote mountainous areas, they found out that almost all burials of the corresponding time were almost completely devastated.
These things, which went into the science under the name “Luristan bronzes”, are dated by most experts, approximately, by the end of II - the beginning of I millennium BC.
Luristan bronzes are rather poorly represented in Ukraine unlike to foreign museums and private collections. That is why we decided to publish four bronze Luristan maces, which are exhibited at the Museum of Weapon History in Zaporozhye.
If we take into account the size of these and other Luristan maces, their light weight and the thickness of thin arms, it becomes clear that these products cannot be full-fledged military weapons. Undoubtedly, they had a ceremonial character and were a symbol of the power of the leaders who stood at the head of clan-tribal associations.

The paper deals with one of the aspects of relations between population of the Northern Black Sea Region and the Eastern Mediterranean in the 2nd millennium BC – the problem of participation of the Northern Black Sea region population in the “invasion of the Sea Peoples” to the Eastern Mediterranean on the border of the 13th – 12th centuries BC.
A particular place between findings in the archeological monuments of the Northern Black Sea area which illustrate these relations is occupied by metallic articles and, first of all, armors.
Findings of armor of the Northern Black Sea area types in the complexes of the Eastern Mediterranean as well as their representation in the Egypt reliefs and bronze statuettes are reported in the paper. All described types of the armor do not have analogies among of the armors of the Ancient East peoples and the same tame they are typical for the Northern Black Sea area of the Late Bronze Age. It permits considering them in the series of evidences for participations of the population of the Northern Black Sea area in the “invasion of the Sea Peoples” to the Eastern Mediterranean.
Establishment of the fact of participation of the European peoples in the “invasion of the Sea Peoples” to Egypt on the border of the 13th – 12th centuries BC open wide potentialities in investigation of the history of the ancient Europe. First of all, reference absolute dates which allow prolongation of the historical period in the Central and Eastern Europe to the 13th century BC should take a special place in the chronology of this period.

The article discusses the sources of innovations that paved the way for metallurgy in the Late Bronze Age and a number of fallacies, forming the legacy of Soviet archaeology, that entered the contemporary archaeology of Eastern Europe and gained the status of axioms underpinning the body of universally recognized knowledge. One such fallacy is the “Seymin-Turbin Transcultural Phenomenon that was born in the Altay Territory” (Chernykh, Kuzminykh 1987). When viewed in the light of newly discovered facts, it turns out that the Seymin terra incognita of V.S. Bochkarov was situated not in Siberia but in Right-Bank Ukraine. This region, unlike the Volga Region or even less so the Altay, since the 5th millennium BC had formed thEneolithic early-agrarian civilisation according to Machnik (1987). These several millennia of cultural development ensured ‘an exceptionally high development level of metallurgy and metalworking for those times’ in Eastern Europe (Klochko 2017a), which in turn had a considerable impact on the subsequent cultural development of northern Eurasia. Therefore, does it appear that the Aryans set out on their route to India from the banks of the Dnieper? Or rather from the banks of the Rhine but via the Dnieper? What will DNA analyses tell us?

The paper is dedicated to studying the genesis and building the type chronology of metal axes of early period of yamna culture of Ukraine using all the artifacts and archaeological complexes, available for the author.
Currently there are two main theories of metal axes of Eastern Europe origins: “Maykop” and “Samara”.
The main theses of “Maykop” theory are presented in works of E. N. Chernyh, S. N. Kornievsky and A. L. Nechytailo. Detailed historiographic referative representation of this theory was recently preformed by V. A. Derhachev (Derhachev 2018), which readers should get acquainted themselves. From my point of view the main problem of this theory is that on the line of axis connections Baniabik-Maykop-Novosvobodnaya of Central Europe and North Caucasus, declared by the authors of this theory, terra incognita called “Ukraine” is located.
The alternative theory, which I call “Samara”, and which is systematically ignored by the authors and followers of “Maykop” theory, including V. A. Derhachev, was initiated by myself in 1990s. (Klochko 1994, p.105, fig. 30: 1-5; Klochko 2001, p. 68-70, fig. 23: 1-4; Klochko 2006, p. 45, fig. 21: 1-4; Klochko V.I., L. Klochko 2013, p. 51-54, fig. 7, 12; Klochko 2016, p. 291, fig. 7: В). Which means it is 25 years old by now.
New artifacts, found in recent years, allowed me to modernize my theory and use it as the basis for the new type chronology of metal axes of early period of yamna culture of Ukraine, presented in this paper and come to following conclusions:
Metal axis of Baniabik type originated from axis of Samara type of Eneolithic age, in the society of yamna culture Middle Dnipro Land of early bronze age, in the cultural and technological center of yamna culture of Eastern Europe.
Speaking of Baniabik treasure, it should be considered a treasure of long-term accumulation, judging by the different-time axis of yamna culture, presented there. This depository had probably originated in a sacred ground of yamna culture tribes, which occurred during their long-term migrations from Middle Dnipro Land to Transylvania. Therefore Baniabik type axis can be considered as archaeological markers of ancient indoeuropeans migrations to Central Europe. They are the ones to bring new “Caucasus” technologies to Central Europe, however not from the Caucasus, but from Ukraine.
Key words: Ukraine, early bronze age, yamna culture, metal axis, typology and chronology.

The first project of the mutual Polish-Ukrainian studies of the oldest history of the zone of the border of the Eastern and Western part of Europe was started in the 80's. An outline of a contract of cooperation between Adam Mickiewicz University and the Institute of Archaeology of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences worked out at that time did not, however, receive an acceptance from the Ministry. This conception could only be taken up again in 1991. One of the elements of a contract drafted at that time is a publication of a series devoted to the prehistorical culture of the communities of a given zone. The Baltic-Pontic Studies are supposed to be a forum for discussions of the oldest — mainly " pre-ethnic " — history of settlement environments of the boundary of the basins of both seas that are mentioned in the title. Thus, one may observe that this project refers directly to the earlier initiative of Poznań scholars — a periodical Slavia Antiqua. It fills in a great gap in those publications that serve the promotion of archaeology in this part of Europe. Each volume in this series will deal with one subject, giving monographs or collections of articles (commissioned) according to subjects. V.I. Klochko's monograph that starts the series deals with the North Pontic weapons in the second half of the second millenium B.C. It initiates a cycle of works on the early forms of relations between the two cultural environments in which we are interested, including in particular the beginnings of the organized exchange routes.
