Chernyakhov culture

Years: 200 - 400

The Sântana de Mureș–Chernyakhov culture is an archaeological culture that flourishes between the 2nd and 5th centuries CE in a wide area of Eastern Europe, specifically in what today constitutes Ukraine, Romania, Moldova, and parts of Belarus.

The culture probably corresponds to the Gothic kingdom of Oium as described by Jordanes in his work Getica, but it is nonetheless the result of a polyethnic cultural mélange of the Gothic, Getae-Dacian (including Romanised Daco-Romans), Sarmatian and Slavic populations of the area.
