- Abstract
- The article publishes the results of the investigations at Levadki, a Late Scythian necropolis in central Crimea. Many of the 150 investigated burial structures have sustained damage in recent robberies. Crypt 96 is well-preserved and contains two groups of burials from different times. The grave goods allow dating the earlier burials to the last quarter end of the 1 st c. BC or possibly to the beginning of the 1 st c. AD, and the later burials to the 2 nd c. AD, most probably to its second half. The large chronological gap (about 150 years) between the two burials does not allow considering the buried as representatives of a single family or even clan. It would appear more logical to assume some other reasons for the more recent burials. For instance, by the late 2 nd early 3 d c. AD the available space at the cemetery might have been used up. That might have forced the population to resort to burying their dead in the already existing graves.
