The paper focuses on the study of the monument that dates back to the Migration Period — Verkhnegostagayevsky settlement (Krasnodar Krai). It describes the core findings of complex archaeological excavations of the fortress on the spurs of the Main Caucasian Range, which allowed not only to get a general idea of the archaeological monument in a fairly short time, but also to evaluate its significance for the history of both the Northern Black Sea region and the North Caucasus at the turn of the two eras. The authors describe the fortification and layout of the site, which was a large political or sacred centre.
