У статті йдеться про можливість інтерпретації археологічного матеріалу в аспекті теорії
 фронтиру та його виміру у соціокультурному контексті. Висвітлено історіографію питання, можливість реконструкції міжкультурних відносин в умовах фронтиру. Проаналізовано Південно-Західний і Балкано-Карпатський фронтири, розглянуто
 основні культури фронтирних зон пізнього енеоліту — доби ранньої бронзи. Окрему увагу приділено
 ямній культурно-історичній спільноті, особливо її
 західному ареалу, пов’язаному з буджацькою культурою. Vitalij V. Otroschenko made a great contribution
 to the study of Copper and Bronze Age cultures in
 Ukraine. His researches of absolute and relative chronology,
 cultural changes and cultural coexistence have
 particular interest in the context of this article. They
 allow a reader to focus more reasonably on cultural and
 historical processes of North-Western Black Sea and
 Balkan-Carpathian regions staying within the frame
 of the frontier theory.
 Most of researchers on the topic consider the «frontier
 » as a special zone of interference of different cultures.
 The frontier is also meant a special area where
 several cultures meet, shaping new socio-cultural relations.
 The frontier differs from deeper territory in
 higher mobility, where movement of large groups of
 people create new forms of cultural and social contacts.
 The system of intercultural communication depends on
 many factors, including the history of formation of the
 cultural landscape of the territory where intercultural
 communication is taking place.
 Originally, the concept of «frontier» was applied
 exclusively to American history, but now we meet it
 in works related to the history of Ukraine. The situation
 of the frontier zone has begun to attract archeologists
 though in a rather narrow area concerning social
 changes (in the context of anthropological archeology).
 The special nature of the source base of history
 and archaeology, especially in the preliterate period,
 determines similarities and differences of frontier
 problems studying by these sciences. The specificity
 of archaeological artefacts, on which the study of archaeological
 cultures relies to a large extent, must also
 be taken into account: they can spread over quite long
 distances in the means of exchange, without people
 movement.
 In archaeological research of European Bronze Age,
 the Pit Grave (Yamnaya) culture is in the great importance;
 interest towards it has been reinforced by the
 latest genetic research. The mobility of society, innovation
 in the material culture of its western range allowed
 us to consider the Pit Grave cultural and historical
 community within the frontier theory.
 At the same time, the comparison of two adjacent
 frontier zones (North-Western Black Sea Coast and
 Balkan-Carpathian area) made it possible to compare
 their common and special traits, in the context of their
 interconnection and mutual influences, taking into account
 the aspect of social identification.
