Silver Gorgoneion from the Cult Place at Eklizi-Burun (Mountain Crimea)
During a survey on the territory of the Eklizi-Burun cult complex, a repeatedly densely folded fragment of a silver sheet was discovered. When unfolded during the restoration process, it turned out to be part of an art object depicting the mask of Medusa Gorgon. The size and shape of the item suggest its purpose as part of Roman military equipment (presumably part of the umbo or a knee guard). The stylistic features of the image give grounds to a…
Prestige Goods from Élite Burials as Markers of Self-Identity and Networking of the Élites
The author proposes an approach to determine self-identities, boundaries, internal political organization and foreign relations of ancient societies using materials of burials of élites in the lack of representative written sources
Non-Urban Societies of the Crimea and Their Response to Changes in the External World
The paper presents a comparative analysis of burial assemblages of ‘barbarian’ élites located on the territory of the Crimea between Chersonesos Taurica and the Bosporan kingdom dating from the 3rd century BC to the mid-3rd century AD . The main goal of the research is to define indications of self-identities of the Crimean non-urban societies represented by their élites and to outline their networking inside and outside the peninsula as well as …

A Female Burial with Gold Jewellery from the Ust’-Al’ma Necropolis (Crimea) Dating from the 1st Century AD
This is the publication of a female burial in Catacomb No. 1119 of the Ust’-Al’ma necropolis situated on the south-western shore of the Crimea. In it were found items of personal jewellery (gold earrings, amphora-shaped pendants, beads of a necklace and plaques originally sewn on to garments) as well as grave goods (gold leaves from a funerary wreath, gold eye-pieces, two hand-moulded ceramic incense-burners, a ceramic jug, an iron knife, a ceram…
Metal Jewellery in the Context of a Sanctuary
Metal jewellery used as votive offerings is discovered at the “barbarian” mountain sanctuary of Eklizi-Burun (the Crimea) and dating from the 1st to the 3rd centuries AD . Most of these items were probably part of female costume known from funerary contexts in the Central Crimea, which differ both regarding their location (in the Crimean Foothills and on the South-Coast), as well as the specific features of the burial rite (“cremation” vs . “inhu…
The Northern Black Sea and North Caucasus
This chapter surveys the Iron Age in the region extending from the western Black Sea to the North Caucasus. As in many parts of Europe, this was the first period in which written sources named peoples, places, and historical events. The Black Sea saw Greek colonization from the seventh century BC and its northern shore later became the homeland of the important Bosporan kingdom. For a long time, researchers sought to identify tribes named by auth…
Late Scythian Culture of the Crimea
The term “Late Scythian Culture of the Crimea” is a modern concept, similar in meaning to the term “Crimean Scythia”, in which the interpretation model, formed during the study of written and epigraphic sources, was originally laid. It seems that the phenomenon of the Late Scythian archaeological culture of the Crimea rather reflects the economic and cultural development of the Crimean peninsula in the context of its involvement in the world-syst…
The Northern Black Sea in Antiquity
The Northern Black Sea region, despite its distance from the centers of classical civilizations, played an integral role in the socioeconomic life of the ancient Greco-Roman world. The chapters in this book, written by experts on the region, explore topics such as the trade, religion, political culture, art and architecture, and the local non-Greek populations, from the foundation of the first Greek colonies on the North Pontic shores at the end …
A Warrior Burial from the Ust’-Al’ma Necropolis (Mid-1st Cent. ad)
In 2015 during excavations in the Ust’-Al’ma necropolis, a grave with a side-chamber was discovered (No. 1074). The deceased was a male aged 25-35 who had suffered many injuries during his life which could be traces of blows received in battle. The burial complex dates from the mid-1st century ad and belongs to a group of ‘Barbarian’ elite burials complete with gold funeral wreaths and face-coverings (eye- and mouth-covers). Most of these graves …
The Aetiological Myth of the Russian Empire and the Study in Russia of Cultural Changes in the North Pontic Region from the 3rd Century bc to the 3rd Century ad (Prior to the 1920s)
Cultural change in the “barbarian” world of the North Pontic region from the 3rd century bc to the mid-3rd century ad was not a special field of interest for ancient authors. Classical narratives only contain information about certain manifestations of such processes. In Russia, interest in studying the cultural changes that took place in the steppes of Eastern Europe in Antiquity appeared in the early 18th century, in connection with the accessi…
Female Elite Grave in the Necropolis Luchistoe-2 (Southern Crimea)
The article is a publication of the Grave 1 excavated in the necropolis of Luchistoe-2, which is so far the only known archaeological site in Southern Crimea with burial structures of the Early Roman period. The article includes suggestions regarding the scale and date of the necropolis, as well as the funerary rite, costume and cultural connections of the society using the burial-ground. It was established that the published grave contained the …
The Sarmatians
According to the general modern view the steppes of the northern B lack S ea region, from the D anube to the U ral valleys, in the period from the third century BC to the mid‐third century AD , were inhabited by S armatian tribes using a burial mound rite. Several consecutive waves of S armatian peoples came to this territory from the E ast, conquering the local population. This view is based on the paradigmatic explanatory model, which has its r…
Princely Burial of the Hellenistic Period in the Mezmay Burial-Ground (North-Western Caucasus)
In 2004 a previously unknown burial-ground consisting of flat graves was discovered by grave-robbers on the northern slopes of the Central Caucasus range at a height of 800 metres above sea-level near the settlement of Mezmay in the Apsheronsk District of the Krasnodar region. In 2005 the first rescue excavations were undertaken. Among the assemblages so far investigated, the most interesting has been Grave No. 3, in which a warrior of aristocrat…
