Kizil-Koba culture

The Kizil-Koba culture is a Bronze age culture belonging to a people who lived in the 9th–3rd century BC in the Eastern Crimean territory and ancestral to Tauri. The culture is represented by the materials from the Kizil-Koba cave in the foothills of the Crimean Mountains in the East Crimea.^[1][2][3][4]

The similarity between the Kizil-Koba culture and the Koban culture created by the Cimmerian tribes in the Caucasus leads to suppose that the Kizil-Koba culture emerged in the Caucasus.^{[5][3][6][2][7]}
