Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to the publication of a Hellenistic burial complex investigated in Central Crimea in 1996. There were 86 burials in 10 horizons in the stone under-barrow-crypt unearthed. Relatively few and poor grave goods (black-glazed pottery, wheel- and handmade vessels, handmade incense burner, glass beads, bronze jewelry and costume elements, military equipment) date back the whole complex to 3rd—1st centuries BC. It could be supposed that the stone crypts were built for the secondary burials made by the population from Ak-Kaya, a late Scythian settlement in the neighborhood.
