В истории и археологии Евразии вопросы  происхождения,  территории расселения, политической истории савромато-сарматских племен недостаточно хорошо  изучены. В памятниках этих народов письменных источников не обнаружено, и сведения о савромато-сарматских племенах, наряду с археологическими данными, мы находим в работах античных писателей. Целью исследования является  анализ исторических источников и археологических данных, исследование истории происхождения савромато-сарматских племен, обитавших в железном веке в Южно-Уральском регионе, и мечей из памятников  савромато-сарматов из Западного Казахстана. Материалы. Мечи и кинжалы, составляющие основную часть находок из погребений, дают ценные сведения для определения хронологии могильников или погребений, определения зон обитания кочевых племен и региональных особенностей кочевых племен.  А. И. Мелюковой, К. Ф. Смирновым, А. М. Хазановым, Е. В. Черненко, А.В. Симоненко, П. И. Шульга, В. А. Кочеевым и другими учеными была разработана хронологическая типология мечей и кинжалов из памятников кочевых племен Северного Причерноморья, Северного Кавказа и других регионов. Оружие же савромато-сарматских племен из Западного Казахстана до настоящего времени не изучено, не разработана их хронологическая типология. Поэтому, основываясь на опыте вышеупомянутых исследователей, систематизировав имеющиеся сведения и полученные в ходе исследований новые данные, авторами разработана типологическая класификация и хронология мечей из могильников племен савромато-сарматов, населявших территорию Западного Казахстана. Результаты. Отмечено, что савромато-сарматы — это потомки племен, живших в эпоху бронзы — создателей андроновской и срубной культур, они имели близкое родство с сакскими племенами. Установлено, что на основе савроматов  сформировались сарматские племена, т. е. они имеют  общие корни.  Кроме того, на основе археологических данных было установлено, что эти племена обитали на территории Западного Казахстана, проведена типологическая класификация найденных в кургане мечей региона, проведен научный анализ. Проведен статистический анализ мечей и кинжалов из савромато-сарматских курганов Западного Казахстана, сделаны научные выводы о преобладающем типе оружия, технологии его изготовления. В статье выделены специфические особенности типов мечей, ареал распространения и проведен сравнительный анализ.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Introduction. In Eurasia’s history and archeology, the issues of origins, inhabited territories, and political history of Sauromato-Sarmatian tribes remain understudied.  Archaeological data are supplemented with messages on Sauromato-Sarmatian tribes contained in works of ancient writers, since no written sources have been found in monuments of those tribes proper. Goals. The study aims to analyze historical sources and archaeological data, examine the history of origins of Sauromato-Sarmatian tribes to have inhabited the Southern Uralsin the Iron Age,and focuses on swords from Sauromato-Sarmatian monuments of Western Kazakhstan. Materials. Swords and daggers that constitute the bulk of finds from burials provide valuable information for determining chronologies of burial grounds or certain burials and identifying areas once inhabitedby the nomadic tribes,with regional features of those tribes be duly distinguished. A. Melyukova, K. Smirnov, A. Khazanov, E. Chernenko, A. Simonenko, P. Shulga, V. Kocheev and other researchers have developed a chronological typology for swords and daggers from monuments of nomadic tribes of the Northern Black Sea, the North Caucasus, and other regions. However, Sauromato-Sarmatian weapons from Western Kazakhstan have remained unstudied without any chronological typology developed. So, the work employs experiences of the above-mentioned researchers and systematizes the available and newlyobtained data to develop a typological classification and chronology of swords from Sauromato-Sarmatian burial grounds excavated in the territory of Western Kazakhstan.  Results. The paper notes that the Sauromato-Sarmatians descend from Bronze Age populations to have created the Andronovo and Srubnaya cultures, and had a close relationship with the Saka tribes. It is deemed that Sarmatian tribes were formed on the basis of Sauromatians, i.e. those had had common roots. Furthermore, insights into archaeological data conclude the tribes had lived in the territory of Western Kazakhstan, yield a typological classification of swords discovered in mounds across the region, and result in a scientific analysis. The work attempts a statistical analysis of swords and daggers from Sauromato-Sarmatian mounds of Western Kazakhstan, provides scientific conclusions as to predominant types of weapons and manufacturing technologies. The article also highlights some specific features of sword types identified, areas of distribution, and performs a comparative analysis.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>савроматы</kwd><kwd>сарматы</kwd><kwd>кочевые племена</kwd><kwd>Южный Урал</kwd><kwd>Западный Казахстан</kwd><kwd>оружие</kwd><kwd>меч</kwd><kwd>кинжал</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Sauromatians</kwd><kwd>Sarmatians</kwd><kwd>nomadic tribes</kwd><kwd>Southern Urals</kwd><kwd>Western Kazakhstan</kwd><kwd>weapons</kwd><kwd>swords</kwd><kwd>daggers.</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Akishev 1973 — Akishev K.
