The article deals with the problems of relative and absolute chronology of Zrubna/Timber-grave culture of the North Azov area of the Paleo-metallic epoch. It addresses successfully these questions to understand the regional specificities of the cultural-historical process, but also to correctly describe the nature of inter-regional connections in terms of their dynamics and direction. To date the Zrubna/Timber-grave culture we used the results of comparative-typological analysis. With a significant distance of the Northern Azov area from the centres of civilizations, such dating acquires the character of a multi-step procedure, the results of which directly depend on the accuracy of the construction of numerous typological comparisons. In determining the absolute dates of Zrubna/Timber-grave culture of the North Azov area, the author is mainly guided by the more adjusted chronological scales, constructed with the help of natural-scientific dating methods. To resolve questions of relative chronology and synchronization of horizons of Zrubna/Timber-grave culture in the North Azov area with the cultures of the Carpathian-Danube region the author used so-called chronological indicators – bronze and antimony products. This eventually made it possible to construct a version of the relative and absolute chronology scheme.
