Chernyakhov culture

3rd–4th century CE · 3rd century · Also known as Sântana de Mureș culture

The Chernyakhov culture is an archaeological culture of the 3rd and 4th centuries CE, spread across present-day Ukraine, Moldova and parts of Romania. Known from large unfortified villages, cemeteries and wheel-made pottery, it is generally linked to the Goths, including the Greuthungi and Tervingi, together with Sarmatian, Dacian and Slavic peoples. It came to an end with the Hunnic invasions of the late 4th and early 5th centuries.
