The article publishes and analyzes materials of the IIIrd-IInd centuries BC found in the 2015-2016 on the multilayered settlement Parkany-II on the left bank of the Lower Dniester. Published for the first time of Sinopean amphora stamp the name of astynomos Ἶφις τοῦ Ἐστιαίου fixes the Greek imports coming at the monument in the last quarter of the IIIrd century BC. Cast in bronze hooked-clasp and belt hook clearly supports their affiliation to the material culture of the Scythians. These items have enough analogies in the Scythian monuments not only in Dniester Region, but also in Bug Region, Dnieper Region, in Crimea and in the Don Region. The relationship of these finds and the cultural layer of the IIIrd-IInd centuries BC of Parkany-II settlement and the synchronous Scythian burial complexes, studied between Parcani village, Slobozyea district, and Bychok village, Grigoriopol district, more than a hundred years ago, is obvious. This is evidenced by the recently published materials from the Scythian cemetery of the IIIrd-IInd centuries BC near Glinoe village, Slobodzeya district, where was found the closest analogy to the hooked-clasp from the settlement Parkany-II. In addition, a hook of similar construction comes from barrow 156, studied near Parkany at the end of the XIXth century. This allows us to conclude, firstly, that on the left bank of the Lower Dniester, new archaeological macrocomplex of the IIIrd-IInd centuries BC was revealed functioned in IIIrd-IInd centuries BC, and secondly, the new archaeological macrocomplex of the IIIrd-IInd centuries BC, which at the moment is not the only one of its kind. Similar macrocomplexes are already known. One of them is located 31,5 km south-east of the settlement Parkany-II, near the village Glinoe, Slobodzeya district, and includes a cemetery (studied in 1995-2012) and a settlement on the river Krasnaia (stationary has not been studied). A second similar macrocomplex is located 25 km south-east of the settlement Parkany-II, near Chobruchi village, and consists of a settlement with a layer of the IIIrd-IInd centuries BC (excavations of 1993-2014) and synchronous Scythian barrows. In total Materials obtained during the excavations and surveys of these sites do not make no doubt that the Scythian steppe culture in the Dniester region is not only not ceased to exist at the end of the IVth. Century BC or in the first third of the IIIrd century BC, as previously thought, but also continued to grow, at least until the end of the IInd century BC.
