The article publishes two new complexes of the late 4th — first half of the 5th century from the burial ground near the village Luchistoe. A warrior with a spear is buried in vault 152, and a warrior with a dagger with cutouts on the blade at the heel of the blade is buried in grave 269. In both burials, two buckles of variant 3 were found. Judging by the location on the bones, a large buckle fastened a waist belt to which an iron knife was hung on the left side. The small buckle was for the belt on the pants. In the burials, the remains of parting food were found — sheep bones and eggshells, as well as sets of dishes for a feast — jugs with a drink and goblets for drinking it. Parting food was prepared from the meat of various animals — sheep, less often — a pig or a bull. In this case, meat of a young or semi-mature animal was always used. Only certain parts of the carcass were placed in the burials — a shoulder or ribs.
