In Frontovoe 3, a necropolis of the Roman period discovered in the South-Western Crimea in 2018, three bronze anthropomorphic pendants were found in children’s grave 305, among other grave goods. Grave 305 is attributed to the end of the 1 st — the first half of the 2 nd century according to the totality of grave goods. Similar pendants are found in eight more graves at this site, in which adults were buried. Anthropomorphic pendants are also known from other synchronous Crimean burial grounds.
