Abstract

Based on public data from the Google Earth, the article shows that the largest area of antiquity land division in the Northern Black Sea region was in the Lower Dnieper. The land division observed here is very close in its external features to the land division which has long been known in the Olbia region. In general, it can be attributed to the non-linear land division of the Taman-Olbian type. The article substantiates the assumption that land division in the Lower Dnieper region is associated with farming which was carried out by the inhabitants of the Scythian settlements of the 4th - the first third of the 3rd century BC. Together with the region of Olbia the Lower Dnieper region forms a dual center of the same type of land division with significant agricultural potential. Another such dual center of land division but on a smaller scale was the Bosporus together with the region of the Middle Kuban.
