The region is ripe for exploring questions of ethnicity, cultural interaction and social identities and it is difficult to describe, let alone understand, without reference to the larger regional and interregional cultural entities with which it interacted. g. Boardman 1980; Cunliffe 1985, 12–37). While such comparisons are important, they implicitly constrain interpretation in a binary framework: ‘ Greek’ and ‘ non-Greek’. More recently, the use of post-colonial approaches in understanding Greek colonisation, with emphasis on consumption, hybridisation, ‘middle ground’ and the possibility for transformation of cultural practices, has shifted attention to more specific contextual understandings that do not rely on straightforward Greek/non-Greek categorisation (Dietler 1995; Given 2004; Malkin 2004; Hodos 2006).

The earliest are found in the Semibratnie kurgan group, located on a hill near the settlement of Semibratnee, the main Sindian settlement and seat of the Sindic rulers, at the eastern end of the Taman peninsula (Fig. 2, Fig. 8). These seven mounds (the ‘Seven Brothers’ after which the site is named) continued an established tradition of Sindian elite burial. The earliest date to the fifth century BC, and predate the incorporation of the Sindian territory into the Bosporan kingdom. They were most likely the burials of the Sindian rulers and their families.
