This is a discussion on «Late Scythian» or «Post-Scythian» sites of the Lower Dnipro region. Presented are the arguments for the incorrectness of the term «Late Scythian» with relation to the terminology and the archaeological «filling» of the post-Scythian sites. Listed are the examples of improper dual usage of the term «Late Scythian» to sites of the second half of the 4th and the first half of the 3rd century BC and at the same time to sites of the period from the 2nd century BC to the 2nd century AD. This is unacceptable in respect to scientific terminology system. Some aspects of the material culture of hill-forts in the Dnipro River lower region not allowing to refer them to the settled Scythians’ sites are discussed.
