Курган раннескифского времени в Адыгее (могильник Дыш IV)
Early Scythian Mound in Adygea (Dysh IV burial ground)

Summary/Abstract: The publication is dedicated to a unique burial mound of the Early Iron Age in the Republic of Adygea. Аs a result of a study of the mound 3 at the Dysh IV burial ground complexes of the “Novocherkassk” and the “Zhabotin” types were discovered. Stratigraphy and plan of the mound allow us to consider these complexes as synchronous and dated back to the first third of the 7th century BC. Among artefacts that determine chronology and cultural attribution are horse harness items. The scepter made of stag’s antler decorated with images in the Scythian animal style was found in the “Zhabotin” burial 1. The item is the evidence of the penetration of this style from the east of Eurasia.
