Multi-cordoned ware culture

Brik studied four kurgans of this culture near Ostapye village, currently in Ternopil Raion, Ukraine.

The name of this culture is related to its ceramic goods, such as pots, which were decorated with multiple strips of clay (cordons) before firing.

The culture also featured various other distinctive ornaments KMK tribes practiced herding and made widespread use of chariots.

[3] 200 or more Multi-cordoned Ware settlements have been documented, some with cultural deposits 1 metre thick (e.g. Babino III).

[citation needed] It was increasingly influenced, assimilated and eventually displaced by the Timber grave or Srubna/Srubnaya culture.
