Grey-clay Pottery of the Dnipro River Lower Region of the Period from the 1st Century BC to the 2nd Century AD

The article is devoted to the assemblage of gray-clay pottery tableware from the Late Scythian hill-forts and burial mounds of the Dnipro River lower region. Pottery of this group is found in all layers of the Ancient Greek sites at the north coast of the Black Sea, at the Late Scythian monuments of the Dnipro and the Danube Rivers lower regions and in the Crimea; later it becomes a peculiar feature of Cherniakhiv culture. The above analysis of materials indicates imported nature of gray pottery in «Minor Scythia» of the Dnipro River lower region. Multiple analogies can allow determining Olbia as the main direction of such imports. Ancient Greek forms known in Olbia back in the pre-Getian period predominate in the assemblage of the Late Scythian gray-clay pottery
