Milograd culture



The Milograd culture (also spelled Milahrad or Mylohrad, also known as Pidhirtsi culture on Ukrainian territory) is an archaeological culture, lasting from about the 7th century BC to the 1st century AD. Geographically, it corresponds to present day southern Belarus and northern Ukraine, in the area of the confluence of the Dnieper and the Pripyat, north of Kyiv. Their ethnic origin is uncertain, but likely to be either Baltic or Early Slavic.

The town of Milahrad (Мілаград), after which the culture is named, is located in the Gomel Region of Belarus.
