The Early Urban Character of the Alanian Culture of the Northern Caucasus in the 2nd – 4th Centuries Ad and the Problem of Early Statehood
In the 2nd – 4th centuries AD, a significant number of large (0.5 to 1.2 km2) and medium-sized settlements with complex structures and distinct citadels were formed in the foothill and lowland areas of the Central and Northeastern Caucasus. The process of establishing these early urban centers was completed by the second half of the 2nd century AD. These settlements were accompanied by extensive necropolises covering several square kilometers. Th…
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…

Bone skates have been known from written iconographic and ethnographic sources since the 12th century until the first half of the 20th century; however, the attribution of these items…
Analysis and Evolution of the Catacomb Structure of the Alanian Culture on the Middle Terek From the 3rd to the Mid-5th Century Ad
Archaeological excavations at the Bratskiye I, Oktyabrskiy I, and Kievskiy I burial grounds conducted in 2018-2019 yielded 323 burial complexes belonging to the Alanian culture, dating from the 3rd century to the first half/middle of the 5th century AD. The predominant burial structure identified was Type I catacomb, accounting for 90% (290 complexes) of the analyzed sample. These catacombs were examined for structural changes across four chronol…
New Research on the Beslan Kurgan Catacomb Burial Mound
This article publishes the results of archaeological excavations of five kurgans discovered using geophysical methods at the Beslan kurgan catacomb burial ground in the Republic of North Ossetia – Alania. Smallscale excavations in different parts of the vast Beslan necropolis make it possible to draw some conclusions. Firstly, the development of the necropolis proceeded in the east direction from the Zilgi settlement. Traces of an unfortified set…
Burials of the Early Middle Bronze Age Mound I of the Gudermes Mounds I
The excavation in 2017 of the burial Mound I of the Gudermes mounds I revealed three distinct burial groups from different time periods, the oldest of which is associated with the Maikop culture. Our paper primarily focuses on intrusive burials from the early stage of the Middle Bronze Age, encompassing two subgroups with distinct funerary rituals. The skeletons in the first subgroup (Burials 9, 10, 13, and possibly 3) were laid in a semi-flexed …

In 2019, a joint archaeological expedition of the Scientific and Production Center for Tourism and Local Lore, the Institute of History, Archeology and Ethnography of the Dagestan Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Archeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences conducted rescue excavations of the single kurgan Uchkent IV, located in the reconstruction zone of the Grozny-Baku oil pipeline in the Kumtorka…
The 1st – 3rd AD Estimating Finds in the Forest-Steppe Sites of the Tobol and Irtysh Rivers Basin
The article deals with artifacts found in the Iron Age kurgans over the Trans-Uralian and West Siberian forest-steppe, which might be referencing for chronology of the Sargat culture and late complexes emerging within area under study. Our emphasis is placed on the analyses of some belt and strap fittings. Meanwhile the novelty of undertaken research might be viewed less in general discussion of chronological aspects but it brings to light quite …

Craniological Materials from the Gotsatlinsky 3rd (Ortokolinsky) Burial Ground (Khunzakhsky District, Republic of Dagestan)
Geophysical and Archaeological Survey of the Hillfort of Zilgi and the Barrow Cemetery of Beslan (North Ossetia)
The article is devoted to new methodological techniques in the study of widely known sites of the early stage of Alanic culture of the Central Ciscaucasia — Zilgi hillfort and Beslan kurgan catacomb burial ground (RNO — Alania). The use of satellite images, low-altitude aerial photography, photogrammetry and magnetometric survey made it possible to obtain fundamentally new information about these well-studied sites and to specify their topographi…
Kurgan-Cemeteries of Central and Eastern Regions of North Caucasus 3rd Century BC – Early 2nd Century AD (Monuments Chegem-Manaskent Type)
The article is devoted to analysis of materials from kurgan-cemeteries of the foothill zone of Central and Eastern North Caucasus regions (from Kabardino-Balkaria to Caspian Dagestan) dating back to the 3rd century BC – early (first half) 2nd century AD. These sites were earlier referred to as the Chegem-Manaskent type. Main diagnostic features of these sites are similar traditions of the funeral rite and the ceramic complex. The formation of the…
Strongly profiled fibulae of the middle 3rd–4th century
Geophysical and Archaeological Survey of the Alanic Barrow Cemeteries in the Northern Caucasus (Russia)

About possible attribution of chain mail artifacts from military burials of the Sadon burial ground
the article deals with the finds of chain mail artifacts from two military graves of the early medieval Sadon burial ground of the Alanian culture. According to similar items from the Lombard military burials of the Castel Trosino burial ground in Italy, samples from Sadon are presumably interpreted as gloves designed to protect the hand in combat conditions. Fragments of leather preserved on mail items from the Sadon may be remnants of products …
