The paper publishes for the first time the results of excavations of barrow 6 of the “DOT” group, which was studied near the Glinoe village, Slobodzeya district, on the left bank of the Lower Dniester in 2021. A single grave in the undercut was investigated under the mound. Finds from the burial (an iron and bronze buckle, two bronze leaf-shaped clips, a handmade whorl, a fragment of an iron knife, a glass bead) make it possible to attribute the grave to the early medieval sites. Two leaf-shaped clips are elements of fastening shoes. A bronze buckle with a proboscis-shaped tongue protruding strongly beyond the round frame allows us to attribute the appearance of such items to the 5^th century. The features of the rite and the composition of the grave goods make it possible to include the burial in the Likhachevka group of the post-Hunnic time. The intervals of calibrated radiocarbon dates obtained from human and dog bones intersect (436—596) and coincide with the general dating of the Likhachevka group — the second half of the 5^th — the first half of the 6^th century. Thus, the published grave fills with concrete content one of the “blank spots” in the archaeology of early medieval nomads of the Eastern Europe.

Key words: Left bank on the Lower Dniester Region, barrow, grave, Likhachevka group, the second half of the 5^th — the first half of the 6^th century.
