Turkic runic inscription from forest-steppe Khazaria
The work is dedicated to the runic inscription that was made on a non-iron metal disk in graffito technique. It was found in destroyed cremated burial at Eskhar village in Zmiiv region in Kharkiv oblast. The inscription contains 34 signs. Most of them concern Don variant of medieval Turkic alphabet of Eurasian steppes. This inscription dates from the Saltov archaeological culture in the forest-steppe zone of the Severski Donets (the mid. VIII- IX cent. AD).
