Back to you, Joze
Rudenko was not included in the anthology of Steppe Cultures recommended above, since he died some decades earlier. He was a groundbreaker. Much of what he wrote was helpful, some of it now contested, but Rudenko was early and he stimulated other-- and modern-- archaeologists to continue his work. This is what we get in Steppe Cultures of the Iron Age, although it does not cover the later tribes, the Wusun and Alans (Sarmatians).
We need more written on the later tribes, the Sarmatian 3 and 4 cultures, but we're not getting it. That is unfortunate. ad: We can only hope that future Russian writers can give us more. :-)
