Аннотация: The Scythian archaeological culture is a component of the Scythian-Siberian community ofequestrian nomadic pastoralists located in the northern Black Sea region and Ciscaucasia. Thispaper explores whether the Scythians were present in the central Pre-Caucasus all year round oronly during a part of the year and were migrating seasonally. Since Scythian settlements are notknown in this region, a possible clue may come from determining the season of the year in whichthe Scythians buried their deceased tribesmen and performed memorial events. In this paper, wedetermine the seasonality of the burials and memorial events at the mound burial groundNovozavedennoye-III (southern Russia), dated to 430–300 B.C., by applying cementum incrementanalysis to horse teeth. This analysis has shown that the studied horses died during May–October.This result indicates that the Scythians were present in the central Pre-Caucasus foothills duringsome part of the warm season.
