Archaeologists in Ukraine recently uncovered a glut of arrowheads, spinning wheels and ceramic fragments dating back to the late 6th century and early 5th century BCE, a time when Scythian nomads, a culturally related group of nomadic tribes that occupied grassland between China and the northern coast of the Black Sea from about 800 BCE to 300 CE, occupied the area.
