Mogylov A.D., Didenko S.V.
Key words: Scythians, Scythian period, barrow, region of Middle Dnieper.

The barrow 459 near the village Tur’ia, in Novomyrgorod district of Kirovograd region (former Chigirin county of Kyiv province), was explored in 1905 by count А.А. Bobrinsky, the head of Imperial Archeological Committee. Soon after the researches in 1907, the artifacts were delivered to the Emperor Nikolai Alexandrovich Art-Industrial and Scientific Museum where the part of them has been preserved till the present. Under the barrow a big looted tomb with two skeletons and grave goods were discovered. The grave goods are presented by the parts of a horse’s bridle: bits, cheek-pieces, brasses, pendent and a Greek black-figured kylix, dated by the end of the first quarter – the middle of the 5th century B.C. Probably the representatives of the middle circles of the horseman elite were buried there.
