The article for the first time publishes and analyses the Scythian barrow No. 8 of the «Garden» group of barrows located near Glinoye in the Slobodzeya district on the left bank of the Lower Dniester Region. Five Scythian burials were investigated under the mound. The main burial and three secondary graves were made in the catacombs of the first type. One more secondary burial was made in the pit. A dog’s burial in the entrance well of the secondary grave 1 is of particular interest. The grave goods are represented by bronze arrowheads, a handmade pot, three knives, fibula and sandstone pebbles. The bronze ring and bracelet indicate the La-T?n influence on the material culture of the Scythians of the Lower Dniester, while the bronze fibula shows the Thracian influence. The barrow dates back to the last quarter of the 4th century BC. Its materials give important information about the transformation of the classical Scythian culture into the Late Scythian culture.
