In the article the evolution of sights of researchers on an estimation of
cultural taxonomy of monuments of the Babine type is considered: from their
perception as uniform archaeological culture, through culture with several local
variants, up to modern estimations of this archaeological formation, as
supercultural phenomenon. It is offered to consider all set of the monuments of
Babine type within the framework of three-level system of taxonomy: a local
variant – culture – a cultural circle. In structure of Babine cultural circle it is
allocated two archaeological cultures: Dnepr-Don and Dnepr-Prut. First of them
is represented homogeneous, and the second culture includes three local
variants: Dnepr-Dnestr, Dnepr-Bug and the Dnestr-Prut.
