About the time of the construction of the Scythian tombs in the burial mound on the land of S. I. Cherkes in the Foothills of the Crimea (By the excavations N. I. Veselovsky in 1895)
The article includes the materials from a burial in the lithoidal burial vault of burial mound 2, which were found on the property of S. I. Cherkes and were discovered during the excavations of N. I. Veselovsky in 1895 close to Simferopol. A "collective burial place" containing 173 skulls of males and females of different age together with materials of the end of 4 century BC were found in a tomb of 1-2 century AC. However, the Greek ceramics and row of bronze objects which were found by authors in the funds of the Central museum of Taurida allow to attribute time of building of this burial to the second half 4 of century BC. However, it is impossible to prove on a given material if this burial vault was used continuously during the second half of 4 century AB - 1-2 century AB or it was used twice.
