The Noua-Sabatinovka-Coslogeni complex was a late Bronze Age archaeological cultural complex located in Ukraine, Moldova and Romania, dating from the 16th to 11th centuries BC, consisting of the closely related Noua, Sabatinovka and Coslogeni cultures.[1][2][3][4]

Characteristics

Representatives of the Noua-Sabatinovka-Coslogeni complex were engaged in agriculture and cattle breeding.[5][6]

Origin

The Sabatinovka culture was formed on the basis of the Multi-Cordon Ware culture,[7][5] there is also the influence of the Srubnaya culture and Monteoru.[8][2] Noua culture and Coslogeni were formed as a result of the fusion of local cultures (Monteoru, Tei and Wietenbrg cultures) with the arriving carriers of the Sabatinovka culture.[6] The relationship of the archaeological complex as part of the Srubnaya culture is a subject of debate.[9]

Successors

Belozerka culture was the successor of the Sabatinovka culture.[8]

Noua culture and Coslogeni was absorbed by Urnfield culture (Gava culture)[2]

To a large extent this corresponds to the beginnings of the Sabatinovka culture and emphasizes the contemporaneity of the two cultures.
