Summary/Abstract: In this paper, for the first time during the study of the Scythian burial mounds, bridle sets of tsarist and common burial mounds of the steppe zone of the Northern Black Sea coast of the end of the VI-III century BC were assembled and processed statistically-combinatorially, that is, the classical Scythian time. As a result, groups of sets have been identified, reflecting both chronological changes (groups of animal style A and B), and cultural influences and dynastic relationships with neighboring regions (groups of ancient and Thracian motifs).
