The main territory of Scythian settlement is the steppes between the lower reaches of the Danube and the Don, including the steppes of the Crimea, the areas adjacent to the Northern Black Sea coast. The northern border is the lands of the Volga region, and in the East are the regions of Altai and Tyva, and there are burial sites of Scythians in Mongolia and the territories of the Far East. (Archaeological works of Herman Pantsiger and Anatoly Nagler in Tyva. The Tunnug mound, which was studied by these scientists, is dated IX millennium BC..n. e., the very beginning of the Scythian time). The Scythians were divided into several large tribes. According to Herodotus, the royal Scythians were dominant – the easternmost of the Scythian tribes, bordering the Savromats along the Don, also occupied the steppe Crimea. Nomadic Scythians lived to the west, and farmers, Scythians-farmers lived to the west of the Dnieper. On the right bank of the Dnieper, in the basin of the Southern Bug, near the city of Olbia, there were callipids, or Hellenic-Scythians, the translation of this term is completely ambiguous and is more connected with religion, north of them – Alazones, and even north – Scythians-Pahari.
