In the Scythian period burials have been identified, in which metal arrowheads have been found in or among the bones of the deceased which may have been the cause of death. In all such cases, without exception, the arrowheads, which had wounded or killed the deceased, were of specifically Scythian types, used precisely at that time for the weaponry of both Scythians and their contemporaries constituting the military contingents of various tribal alliances in the forest-steppe zone. Analysis of the sample has shown that in most cases those who perished were victims of armed conflicts within the ethno-political world of Scythia. In a number of further cases, arrow wounds had been caused as a result of a rite forming part of a funerary ritual. Some other archaeological data, such as the dismantling of and re-use of Scythian anthropomorphic stelai and also the virtually total plundering of their kurgans by the Scythians themselves, can also indicate the conflict situation within Scythian society in the late-5th and 4th centuries BC . Certain data from written sources also tie in with the existence of internecine feuds in Scythia, including the reliably recorded fact of clashes between Scythian elites. The inter-tribal violence recorded in the light of arrow wounds quite probably reflects, among other things, the new form of relationships within Scythian society resulting from rivalry for possession of territory and resources.

Scythian Internecine争执

在Scythian时期，人们发现了埋葬者的尸体，其中在死者的骨头中或骨头中发现了金属箭头，这可能是造成死亡的原因。在所有这些情况下，无一例外，伤者或死者的箭头都是Scythian类型的，当时恰好用于Scythians及其同时代人的武器，这些武器构成了森林中各种部落联盟的军事特遣队-草原区。对样本的分析表明，在大多数情况下，丧生的人是Scythia的民族政治世界内武装冲突的受害者。在许多其他情况下，由于仪式成为丧葬礼仪的一部分，导致了箭伤。其他一些考古数据，例如，Scythian拟人化石碑的拆除和再利用，以及Scythians自己对库尔干人的几乎全部掠夺，也可以表明公元前5世纪至4世纪Scythian社会内部的冲突情况。书面来源中的某些数据还与Scythia中存在内部神经仇恨有关，包括Scythian精英之间发生冲突的可靠记录事实。除其他外，根据箭伤记录的部族间暴力很可能反映了斯基泰人社会内部由于争夺领土和资源而产生的新关系形式。书面来源中的某些数据还与Scythia中存在内部神经仇恨有关，包括Scythian精英之间发生冲突的可靠记录事实。除其他外，根据箭伤记录的部族间暴力很可能反映了斯基泰人社会内部由于争夺领土和资源而产生的新关系形式。书面来源中的某些数据还与Scythia中存在内部神经仇恨有关，包括Scythian精英之间发生冲突的可靠记录事实。除其他外，根据箭伤记录的部族间暴力很可能反映了斯基泰人社会内部由于争夺领土和资源而产生的新关系形式。
