Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes two groups of fibulae with two plates (with decorative overlays) from the Crimea. He distinguishes two groups and two stages in the evolution of this ornament: “A” — small integral fibulae made from one casting block with forged plates; “B” — large composed fibulae consisting of riveted details (bow and plates). Group “A” is much older, dated by 550—610/620 AD. Group “B” dates to 590—650 AD and is synchronous with artefacts of late 6th - 650 AD.. The main evolution trends for fibulae are that they grow in size and change the method of manufacture.
