Burial no. 114 at the Neizats cemetery (the foothills of the Crimea mountains) andantiquities of the nomads of the North Pontic region in the second half of the 5th - first half of the 6th cc

The paper publishes a burial from the «post-Hun» period (approximately430-s/470-s - 530-s/570-s) discovered at the Neizatscemetery near Simferopol (Fig. 1A).This was the inhumation of a woman in a grave with a side niche accompanied withthe burial of a full-grown horse and a foal (Fig. 1Б; 2). The grave goods consisted ofjewellery, household objects, horse harness details (Figs. 3-5; colour plate). Parallels forthis funerary rite and range of grave goods (Figs 5-7) evidence that the burial belongedto the range of antiquities used by steppe peoples of the the «post-Hun» period (Fig. 8).What attracts attention is the similarity between the funerary rite and grave goods used hereand those of the Inner Asian nomads (Shamsi) and also the inclusion of Early Byzantineelements in the costume of the woman buried in Neizats
