EN Twenty-nine Early Bronze Age barrow graves from North-West Bulgaria are discussed in the paper. Presented are the essential characteristics of the mortuary practices – barrow fills, grave pits, method of disposal, grave inventory and use of red pigments. A significant enrichment of knowledge about the barrow burial rite in northwestern Bulgaria are the results of rescue excavations conducted in 2023-2024 near villages Butan, Kriva bara and Manastirishte (all in Kozloduy region). Twelve radiocarbon dates were obtained for graves from these barrows. They date to around 2900-2600 cal BC, apart from one cremation burial dated around 2500 cal. BC. The earliest graves from Tarnava, ‘Glavchovska mogila’ (related to the Coţofeni culture), Knezha (early Yamna phase), and Tarnak (‘relaxed hocker’, possibly dated to Pre-Yamna stage) are most likely of older age (approx. 3100-2900 cal BC). Then, the general chronological position of the graves from barrows in northwestern Bulgaria is set in ca. 3100 – 2500 cal BC. The chronological sequence of the burial mounds, as well as their cultural diversity, find close parallels in discoveries from neighbouring regions, including Oltenia, the Romanian Banat, Transylvania and Vojvodina.
