История и археология античного Причерноморья

The article is dedicated to publication of materials from burial 118 from the eastern necropolis of Phanagoria explored in 2007. It is a vault with a long dromos arranged in line with a chamber. On its floor we found remains of three burials in wooden coffins. They had been disrupted by grave-robbers. However, remained goods allow us to date the vault to late antiquity (phases D1 and D2 of Central European chronological system), i. e. end of 4th – first half of 5th centuries AD. At that, we did not find any evidences of Hunnic presence there.

The Lower Volga region was relatively remote from the centres of the antique civilization. Therefore there is very little written information left by the ancient authors about this area and its population.

Eine eingehende Analyse der wirtschaftlichen und politischen Gegebenheiten des süd-östlichen und östlichen Schwarzmeerraumes zeigt, dass es keine Anlässe gibt über den hohen Entwicklungsgrad der Kolchis zu sprechen. Außerdem ist ohne Zweifel unrichtig die Behauptung über die polyzentrische und langfristige Produktion von keramischen Warentransportbehältern in jener Gegend. Sämtliche Voraussetzungen dafür waren nicht vorhanden. Der Verfasser kehrt zu der alten Hypothese von B. Ju. Michlin zurück, dass die sog.

In 2007 at Ordzhonikidze of the Dnepropetrovsk region the Scythian barrow No. 32 was excavated. In the funeral feast connected with the central burial place of the barrow, fragments of 54 amphoras are found. Amphoras of three centres have stamps. Heraclean stamps of magistrates Saturos and Lusitheos are dated by V. I. Kac 360– 350th BC. The Sinopian stamp of magistrate Apollodōros by the accepted chronology dated 355– 350 BC.

Materials of the Taganrog settlement, as the author of the article states, make it possible to turn once again to the problem of localization of Kremny harbor. Basing on the data of ancient writing tradition various scientists located Kremny along the whole Northern shore of Meotida: starting from the mouth of the Tanais and till the Crimea. Mentioning of Kremny by Herodotus in connection with the Amazon myth, supposes the existence of this harbor already in the archaic period.

The main purpose of this article is to analyze a development of agricultural territories of the Asian Bosporan Greek centres in the period their maximum blossoming (the end of the 6– 2nd quarter of the 5th century BC), before they were included in structure of the Bosporus state and on the eve of sharp recession reached before economic indicators in the second half of the 5th century BC.

In the Gorgippia by this time 285 Bosporian tile stamps were found. More 77 copies are fixed on settlements on near and far city chore. The analysis of this material has allowed to receiving the new information as about the organization of ceramic producing in Gorgippia, so and for date of separate series of the tile stamps fixed here. First of all, it was possible to specify and fill up the list of stamps on tiles, made in Gorgippia.

In the LBA treasures of metal pieces began to appear in the territories on the Western and Northern coasts of the Black sea. In the scholarly publications, the term “pre-coins” is used to denote this kind of money. It is incorrect by many reasons. It is stricter to use the term “non-coins” to describe the metal ingots in different forms used as money.

The reason for the preparation of this paper was the new information about dating of the Nogaychik Barrow. It includes artifacts, which are particularly characteristic for the Late Hellenistic period. All this suggests a date not later than the 1^st century BC. However, it seems to be very hard for some scholars to accept this date. The likely reason for this is that this complex was once closely connected with the interpretation model of the Sarmatian archaeological culture which was developed in the 1980s and 1990s.
