Abstract

The probem «Tripolje and Steppe)) is considered. Тhе author makes а hypothesis that the relationships ofbearers of cultures and cultural groups of Eneolithic and Early Bronze Age in the south of East Europe · implemented within the system of dual organizations. Along with steppe cultural groups, Tripolje-Cucuteni, Gumelnitza, Cemavoda 1 cultures (in Early Eneolithic period, prоbаblу, also the Premaikop Culture of the Northem Caucasus) were included in different two-class structures (moiety systems). These dual organizations were territorial bу nature. The author supposes that the dual organizations integrated different ethnic collectives, which were distinguished in their economic specialization - farmers and herders.
