Z badań nad systemem grodzisk z wczesnego okresu epoki żelaza na obszarze Podola. Wstępne wyniki prac ekspedycji Instytutu Prahistorii Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza w obrębie grodziska w Severinìvce, obwód Winnica

Archaeological investigations carried out by the Institute of Prehistory of Adam Mickiewicz University at the early Iron Age hillfort in Severynivka is a part of the research project “Fortresses of Ukraine”, conducted in cooperation with the Institute of Archaeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The territory where the “fortresses” occur extends from the middle course of the Dniester and the Bug rivers, in the area defining the north western border of the steppe and forest steppe ecological zone. The studied hillfort, dated to the late seventh and mid-sixth centuries BC is a relic of the times when Central Europe witnessed intensive contacts between nomads (Scythians), and the settled communities

A chronology of the Scythian antiquities of Eurasia based on new archaeological and C-14 data

The paper is compares the chronology of the monuments of the Scythian epoch located in the east and west of the Eurasian steppe zone on the basis of both archaeological and radiocarbon data. The lists of C-14 dates for the monuments located in different parts of Eurasia are presented according to the periods of their existence. Generally, the C-14 dates are confirmed the archaeological point of view and allow us to compare the chronological position of the European and Asian Scythian monuments on the united C-14 time scale

Some problems in the study of the chronology of the ancient nomadic cultures in Eurasia (9th - 3rd centuries BC)

This research is focused on the chronological investigations of ancient nomads belonging to the Scythian cultures which occupied the steppe and forest-steppe zones of Eurasia during the 9th-3rd centuries BC. The 14C dates for the pre-scythian and early scythian time in both Europe and Asia are presented and compared to their chronological position based on archaeological evidence. The first 14C dates have been produced for the Scythian time monuments located in the Lower Volga River basin, Urals and Transurals regions. Their chronological positions are compared with the position of the monuments of Southern Siberia and Central Asia. It was shown that the nomadic cultures belonging to the Scythian culture began to exist over the wide territory of Eurasia from the 9th-8th centuries cal BC and there are some monuments which may be synchronous to the Arzhan royal barrow (the oldest monument known). A list of new 14C dates and a map of the monuments are presented
