What is certain is the fact that, in the times before the Sarmatians settled down to
the north of the Black Sea, the steppes here were free from the nomad population that had
been here, but was now concentrated in the lower Dnepr area, Crimea and, to a small
extent, in Dobrudja. In the silvosteppe area on the middle Dnepr lived the bearers of the
Zarubineck culture, to the west of the Dnestr lived the Bastarns and the Getae-Dacians, and
on the shore, the Greek cities that were going to a crisis period.
