Grave 1340 with a burial accompanied by a belt set of a type rare for the Northern Black Sea coast was examined in 2022 on the territory of the Late Scythian Ust’-Alma necropolis, located in Southwestern Crimea. This belt set included bronze elements: a buckle with a double tongue, a belt tip, and several rivets. Such sets are characteristic of “Germanic” warrior burials of Central Europe of the B2/C1–C1a phase. Based on the dating findings, grave 1340 can be dated from 150/160—230/250 AD. Perhaps the belt was not in the grave at the time of the burial but was placed in the grave in 190/200—230/250 AD. The dating allows us to attribute grave 1340 to a group of North Black Sea complexes containing things of “Germanic” appearance and belonging to the time before the epoch of the “Gothic campaigns”.
