Southern Influences in the Horizon Boromlya

Abstract

Horizon Boromlya is chronological and cultural horizon, the group of the settlements in the forested steppe between Dnieper and Severskiy Donets of the stages C1b-C2. There are related cultural groups in the forested steppe of the Eastern Europa: Demyanov-Cherepin on the upper Dniester and Sedelky-Kashirka on the upper Don. There are some forms the southern influences in the horizon Boromlya: 1) pit-dwelling of the “Typ Bukreevka”; 2) bow-fibulaes with closed catch-plate A. 157; 3) some forms of the hande-made pottery; 4) bosporian coins. The distribution of these items in the region between Dnieper and Severskiy Donets and on the upper Don evidence probably about the movement some groups of the population from south in the time of the “Gotic wars”.
