Compared to the previous period of III BC, sharp decrease in these kinds of weapons has been established. At the same time the rather dense concentration of spearheads and darts’ heads in the “Odd Complexes”. The analysis made has shown that there was no typological uniformity in the weapons studied and in the other objects (helmets, horse harness) also originating from the “Odd Complexes”. Here the Scythian, Meotic and Celtic features are traced.
