The starting territory of the migrations of Sarmatians to the Carpatian basin is well-known ( it was the steppe of the North Pontic region. The researchers, however, define the tribal structure of the various waves of Sarmatian immigrants to the Hungarian territory not so confidently. According to the written and archaeological sources only the first wave - Jazygi - is reliably established. The ancient authors in different time located to the Hungarian steppe also Roxolani and Alani, but the their archaeolgical finds of them are not always identified by the archaeologists with confidence.

Recently Val(ria Ęulcs(r has quite correctly marked the two groups of the Sarmatian finds in Ŕlf(ld which are connected by her with the Eastern migration waves. One of them is formed by the cemeteries with the ditches. The researcher considers that this innovation was brought from Budjak in the 2nd cent. A.D. (Kulcsár 1997). The second one consists of the graves of rich warriors which are located on the borders of the Sarmatian territory and supplied by goods of Eastern character (Kulcsár 1998). Valéria Kulcsár however has not defined their tribal attribution unequivocally.

The Budjak cemeteries with the ditches really were the initial material for similar Hungarian date to the end of the 2nd - beginning of the 3rd cent. A.D. Certain features of the burial rite permit to connect them with Roxolani (A. Simonenko, M. Fokeev). Judging from the date of the Budjak cemeteries I suppose that this type of finds had appeared in Ŕlf(ld after the Marcomannic Wars together with their participants Roxolani.

The graves of the rich horsemen find the closest analogies among the military assemblages of the same time in the steppes from Southern Ural up to Azov Sea region (S. Bezuglov). It is neccessary to remark that the finds of similar type are absent on the territory of the steppes between Danube and Dnieper closest to Carpathian basin. This original group of graves corresponds with Alani. It is known that they were among the participants of the anti-Roman coalition during the 2nd Marcomannic War. Probably after its end some group of Alani - most likely from the Lower Don - had moved to the Hungarian steppe.
