The Volga-Ural Region at the End of the Early Iron Age
This article discusses the adaptation patterns of ancient societies with different economic bases to changing environmental conditions at the end of the Early Iron Age. It is shown that in the second half of the 3rd and 4th centuries AD, climatic humidity increased across vast territories of the Volga-Ural region, in the steppe, forest-steppe, and forest zones. During this time, westerly atmospheric circulation intensified, leading to increased p…
Complexes of the Final of the Late Sarmatian Period in the Lower Volga Region
The traditional dating established in the historiography of the upper chronological boundary of the Late Sarmatian culture requires adjustment. After the mid-3rd century, global political changes occurred in the Volga-Don region, associated with the expansion of the Alan population from the North Caucasus to the Lower Don, leading to the formation of the “Alan-Tanaites” culture. This culture was based on two cultural components: Late Sarmatian an…

Revisiting the Issue of Attribution of Some Catacomb Monuments Groups from the South of Eastern Europe in the Late 3rd – early 5th Centuries
The catacomb funerary ritual had a widespread occurrence among the southern Eastern European population in late Roman times and at the beginning of the Great Migration Period. The Alan culture monuments of the 2nd – 4th centuries AD from the North Caucasus and the “Alans-Tanaites” nomadic culture of the late 3rd – 4th centuries AD feature the burial ritual most widely and vividly. Evidently, the migration occurred in a westerly direction from the…

A Study on the Connection between Sacred and Social Order in Sauromat-Sarmatian Cultures
Using archaeological materials, this article attempts to reveal correlation between society structural levels of each of the Sauromat-Sarmatian cultures and high-status “priestly” burials practices, as well as special artifacts associated with performance of worship cult acts. The results obtained allow us to assume that family-clan cults were widespread during weakening periods of centralized power. The interment of cult worshipers did not requi…

Climatic Optimum as a Factor of the Economic Crisis of Steppe Nomads in the 4th Century AD
Introduction. Archaeological sites of the 4th century AD absent on most of the area of the Late Sarmatian culture. This may be both due to the difficulties of their identification and absence of chronological indicators and due to migrations of nomads from the steppe zone. Perhaps unfavorable climatic conditions for nomadic cattle breeding affected the decrease in the number of nomadic population in the 4th century AD. Methods and materials. The …
