Pre-Maikop monuments in the Northern Caucasus (Svobodnoye on Laba, Yaseneva Polyana) and Pre- Yamnaya monuments (Konstantinovskoye, Sredny Stog) in the Ponto-Caspian steppes belong to the chronological horizon Boleraz-Chernavoda I - Salcutsa IV - Tripolye С 1. Its beginning is marked with such stone artifacts as scepters that are commonly regarded as the effigies of horse head. Owing to the fact that these scepters were discovered in closed burial assemblages (Dzhanghar in the North-Western Caspian region) they cannot be dated earlier than the phase of Sredny Stog II culture and the end of the phase Tripolye C 1. The formation of this horizon is connected with the transition of some communities of the north of the Central Europe to the pastoral cattle breeding and the migration of these pastoral tribes (probably the Tocharians) in the direction to the Caucasus through the agricultural settlements of such cultures as Gumelnitsa, Cucuteni-Tripolye that caused disappearance of Gumelnitsa. The date of Maykop culture on the base of the analogies from Early Dynastic III period in Mesopotamia in 24 - 23 BC, is terminus ante quem for these scepters and for the horizon as a whole.
