THE HISTORY OF THE EMERGENCE OF THE SAVROMATO-SARMATIAN TRIBES
BASED ON WRITTEN AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL DATA
Abstract
Sauromats inhabited Western Kazakhstan and the southern part of the Urals, along the Zhayyk and
Volga rivers in the VI-V centuries BC. Then, in the IV-III centuries BC, they moved to the northern part of
the Caspian Sea. This tribe was originally called Savromat, then renamed Sarmat. Therefore, scientists are
divided in opinion: some consider them to be one tribal union, while others consider them to be different
tribes. Of course, this is a separate topic for discussion. This article is devoted to the history of the origin of
the Savromato-Sarmatian tribe. The history of the emergence of the Sauromato-Sarmatians is one of the
urgent problems. In the writings of Herodotus, the mythical side of the origin of the Savromati tribe is
mentioned. And also, some scientists, relying on the data of archaeological research, consider the
Sauromato-Sarmatians as heirs of the tribes of the Bronze Age. This article examines the origin of the
Savromat- Sarmatian tribes based on ancient sources and articles written later.
Key words: Savromats, Sarmatians, Western Kazakhstan, written data, archaeological data,
nomads, burial grounds, barrow, culture.
