The article discusses a new Late Neolithic burial investigated in the Upper Neman region in 2014. A flat grave in the Corded Ware culture‘s range was found at the multi-period Drazdy 12 site in Western Belarus. The special features of the burial and grave goods correspond to the characteristics of the local ‘corded’groups as well as the Middle Dnieper culture. Some characteristics could have originated in the Globular Amphora culture‘s traditions. Based on the typological criteria, the burial was dated to the second half of the 3rd millennium BC.
