The 'Milograd culture' (also spelled 'Mylohrad', also known as 'Pidhirtsi culture' on Ukrainian territory) is an archaeological culture, lasting from about the
seventh century BC to the
first century AD. Geographically, it corresponds to present day southern
Belarus and northern
Ukraine, in the area of the confluence of the
Dnieper and the
Pripyat, north of
Kiev. Widely identified with the
Neuri people as described in
The Histories of Herodotus. The ethnic composition of the culture is uncertain. Many identify it with the
proto-Baltic people (J.P. Mallory), others with the
proto-Slavic people (O.N. Melnikovskaya).
The town of Milograd, after which the culture is named, is located in the
Homiel Province of the Belarus republic.
