The sound level, frequency, sound distance and musical note are determined. Even though our study is limited to small number of artifacts from the Eastern European forest-steppe, an experimental research approach can provide more information about these objects. This will allow us to get closer to understanding the possible function and cultural significance of the Scythian pole-tops.

Eight groups of burial complexes have been distinguished based on the analysis of a site type, body positioning and grave goods set composition. The pole-tops were most often discovered in the male burials of the nomadic elite with a meridional orientation. The archaeological context of the pole-tops demonstrates the relationships with horse burials and bridle sets, sacrifices, and the southern part of the burial. A strong relationship between the burial mounds of the Central Ciscaucasia and the Dnieper forest-steppe is noticeable, in which iron pole-tops were discovered. They are supposed to have decorated a wagon or chariot. An analysis of the types of zoomorphic images and the number of artifacts indicates that they are grouped by 2, 4, and 6 paired finds. The pole-tops were decorated with figures of bird and deer most often. The acoustic characteristics of the sound element are determined: sound power level, frequency, sound distance, and general pitch.

These findings are one of the indicators of the complexes of the second — third quarter of the 6th century BC. A series of pole-tops with flat reduced images of birds of prey is formed in the Kuban region and, apparently, as a result of the contacts of local elites with the Transcaucasus and the influence of Lydian jewelry art and toreutics.

However, opinions on their function are diverse. Now the pole-tops have a rather general name reflecting the purpose of these objects only approximately. Nevertheless, the study of these artifacts allows us to distinguish three periods: the first (1850—1940s), the second (1950—1980s) and the third (from the 1990s to the present).

Among the bells found in the burials of Eastern Europe of the 7th–6th c. BC specimens cast in bronze predominate. They are most often conical or pyramidal in shape with a series of elongated openings on the body and an iron clapper inside, while the upper part finishes in a suspension loop. It is possible that these artifacts circulate in the North Caucasus as a result of the West Asian and Transcaucasian operations of the Scythians.
