Journal: Ancient West & East Volume: 5 Issue: 1-2 Date: 2006 Pages: 44-79 DOI: 10.2143/AWE.5.1.3291740 Abstract : The results of complex research on the available material about the inhabitants of the foothills of the north-western Caucasus in the 8th-4th centuries BC are presented. The social-economic and cultural development of local peoples, Toretians and Kerketians, was to a considerable degree determined by geographical conditions of the study area. Although those peoples led a rather isolated life, they underwent influences from different cultural-ethnic groups: Scythian-Maeotian (the Cis-Kuban region), to a smaller extent Maeotia-Colchian (Ciscaucasia and the south-east of the Black Sea region), and the steadily intensifying Greek influence connected with the gradual submission of this territory to the Bosporan kingdom. |
