Abstract

The study of social organization in archaeology is one of the central themes of modern archaeology. As a relatively recent development within the field of archaeology, SOCIAL ARCHAEOLOGY focuses on the impact of social organization on cultural materials. Cultural materials as the remains of human activities reflect the social, political, religious and economic aspects of ancient life.One of the most important evidence that infers ancient life ways is remains of BURIALs and FUNERARY customs. Human BURIALs have been used to infer many aspects of ancient social life including status differentiation, social classification. Social ranking and stratification, social evolutions belief systems, POLITICAL SYSTEMs and economic behaviors.Burial remains of Scythians, therefore, can be an important window into the many different phases of their societies. Considerable clues for the interpretation of Scythians mortuary patterns may be found in BURIAL architecture of KURGANs, corpse position. As well as diversity and quality of grave offerings Archaeological excavations at KURGANs from Mongolia in cast to Poland in west, generally lead to larger samples of cultural remains of Scythians and greater possibilities for using these interments to make statements about Seythian culture.This paper begins with the note on importance of soeio-archaeological studies about ancient MORTUARY CUSTOMs. Thereafter the paper introduces the most important KURGANs located on western and eastern Scythian lands. Based on Archaeological findings The paper discusses about the political and social organization of Scythians and employs Scythians BURIAL remains as the words for socio-archaeological interpretation.
