This collection of articles is dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Moldavian archaeologist Valentin Dergachev, a researcher of the ancient history of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, the author of more than 160 works on the Neolithic, Eneolithic and Bronze Age of the region, of which 25 are monographic studies. It is no coincidence that the book is named after a line from Horace, who discourages Melpomene by the fact that "he erected a monument to himself stronger than copper." Although what could be stronger than copper and more short-lived than monuments? In this sense, the fate of the monuments that Valentin Anisimovich took care of is similar to the fate of many scientific texts. They are often demolished, sent to the trash, or melted down into new ones. At the same time, copper itself, which Dergachev was so enthusiastically engaged in throughout his career, has been used in human culture for thousands of years. As well as good scientific texts, which, as a rule, outlive their creators for a long time and become the foundation for the discoveries of the next generations. Our collection brings together the works of researchers from Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Russia, Georgia, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Poland, Germany, Italy, Finland, Spain, Canada and the USA.
