The Suvlu-Kaya cemetery, dated from the 3rd century to the first half of the 5th century AD, is located in Bakhchisaray, southwestern Crimea. In contrast to chronologically and culturally comparable cemeteries in southwestern Crimea, such as Krasny Mak and Almalyk-Dere, this necropolis is distinguished by the presence of undisturbed crypt burials of the Early Migration Period. During the 2020 archaeological excavations, Crypt No. 47, which contained seven burials, was investigated. The burials date to the second half, or more precisely the last quarter, of the 4th century and the first quarter of the 5th century AD, corresponding to period D1 (360/370—400/410) according to J. Tejral. The numerous grave goods make it possible to refine current views on the culture of the population of southwestern Crimea during this period.
