The book, based on archaeological, paleoethnographic, written, anthropological sources, examines the ethnic history of the population of the Dniester and adjacent Podunava at the beginning of the era of the great migration of peoples. The study is based largely on new materials collected over the past two decades. The tribes of the Chernyakhov culture between the Dniester and Prut rivers are diversified. Much attention is paid to the analysis of West Sarmatian culture.
