The paper raises the question of the reconstruction of the social structure of the Early Scythian population of the forest-steppe area of the Dnieperland. In the course of analysis, it was established that the most important elements of funeral rites among the population related to this group, as well as based on ancient writers, are the size and the complexity of burial and mound construction, and the diversity of grave goods. The classifi cation of 197 burial complexes carried out in relation to the above-mentioned features, with the use of statistical inference methods, has led to separation of seven classes of graves, which may be combined within different social classes. The higher and the lower aristocracy, the ordinary population with the distinguishing class of warriors and the poorest population are numbered to these classes. The lowest place in the social hierarchy was represented by the people buried in the graves of representatives of upper classes.

The paper raises the question of the reconstruction of the social structure of the Western-Podolian group of the Early Scythian culture (ESC ), based on materials from burials. As a result of the analysis of the most important elements of funeral rites of the population of this group, as well as based on ancient writers (The Histories by Herodotus), it was established that the size and the complexity of construction of a burial and a mound covering the burial, as well as the diversification of quantity and quality of grave goods, seem to be of the most value for this issue. The classification of 100 burial complexes carried out on the basis of these features, with the use of statistical inference methods (cluster and correspondence analyses), has led to the differentiation of six classes of graves, which can be combined with different social classes. The higher (military leaders and chieftains) and the lower aristocracy, the ordinary population with the distinguishing class of warriors and the poorest population are numbered to these classes. Apart from these classes, connected with the free, fully-fledged population, a group of the partly dependent population with limited rights has been also differentiated.
