In the Great Migration Period, some common elements of women’s clothing (brooches, bracelets, metal mirrors, earrings, anthropomorphic pendants) spread on the steppe periphery of a variety of sedentary peoples, which in all likelihood did not have direct long-term contacts between them. The same items of women’s clothing are rarely found in the context of the steppe “nomadic” antiquities of the same time. The spread of these things may be due to the migration of certain groups of the settled population or the spread of a common prestigious fashion.

Keywords: Eastern Europe, steppe borderland, Great Migration Period, sedentary population, women’s clothing, migration, diffusion
