Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the archaeological and numismatic material, since the death of late Scythians in the Crimea. They suggest that these events may be related to the invasion troops of the Alans in the Crimea at the end of the first quarter of the III. AC (224). At the same time, the death is directly dependent on the internal instability of the very late Scythia, where there was no state and only start to develop new ethnosocial community.
