The Kizil-Koba culture is a Bronze age culture belonging to a people who lived in the 9th–3rd century BC in the Eastern Crimean territory and ancestral to Tauri.
The culture is represented by the materials from the Kizil-Koba cave in the foothills of the Crimean Mountains in the East Crimea.
[1][2][3][4] The similarity between the Kizil-Koba culture and the Koban culture created by the Cimmerian tribes in the Caucasus leads to suppose that the Kizil-Koba culture emerged in the Caucasus.
