- Abstract
- In summer 2007, an artifact assemblage, provisionally named a hoard, was found in the vicinity of Kachalinskaya stanitsa, on the outskirts of Sady Pridon'ya village (left bank of the Don, Ilovlinsky region of Volgograd oblast') in the course of construction works. The assemblage comprised bronze and silver elements of horse bridle, bronze and glass beads, a bronze quiver-hook in the animal style, a whetstone and a sword or dagger which has not survived. All the artifacts were inside a cast bronze cauldron. On the basis of analogies the hoard can be interpreted as belonging to Early Sarmatian culture and dated to the 2nd millennium BC. It is a memorial, sacrifi cial assemblage, comprising elements of three ceremonial sets of horse bridle. M.B. Schukin used the phrase strange assemblages to describe this type of fi nd. The assemblages in question are encountered in North Pontic, Azov and Kuban steppes. The hoard from the vicinity of Kachalins-kaya stanitsa is so far the easternmost.
