Our intention was consistency — although it is hardly possible to be consistent in all the cases. For all the personal, ethnic and geographic names we used the common forms, for example provided by the Encyclopædia­Britannica. Because not every name and term used in this volume can be found in it, it was decided to transliterate them using the method of giving the closest equivalent to Greek, Russian, or Ukrainian pronunciation — similar to the patterns of the Chicago style or the Library of Congress. For example, for Russian alphabet: а – a б – b в – v г­– g д – d е­– ye (open syllable, or after soft and hard signs) or e (close syllable) ё – yo ж­– zh з – z и – i й – y к – k л – l м – m н – n о – o п – p р – r с – s т – t у – u ф – f х – kh ц – ts ч – ch ш – sh щ – shch ъ – ’ ы – y ь – ’ э – e ю – yu я – ya As for the colleagues’ names, there are few cases when we deviated from this pattern — if we definitely know that he or she prefers alternative spelling. And besides, sometimes scholars’ names are given in one form within the paper and in the other in bibliography. A sad but usual situation with people of East Slavonic origin. That is actually because different publishers use different systems of trans- literation. Names of Greek origin are transliterated from Greek (i. e. Tiberios Ioulios Eupatoros), of Latin — from Latin (Julius Caesar), except for those having tra- ditional spelling (Diocletian). A few exceptions are in long citations from prima- ry sources, where place names and ethnonyms are kept in the form provided by English translations of these sources. As for the origin of many place names in Eastern Europe it is not quite clear whether it is Russian or Ukrainian, and the pronunciations in these languages dif- fer, it is decided to use Russian as the basis. The names of archaeological sites are according to English forms of appropriate place names rather than to Russian adjectives derived from it (i. e. Nogaychi barrow and not Nogaychinskiy). A few words (mainly terms) that are absent in English are italicized. 4 Abbreviations CIL Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum IOSPE I2 Latyshev B.

This is the case of the Taurians and the Scythians, later of the Sarmatians. Archaeological data allow researchers to study the history of these ethnoi even in more distant past. According to the archaeological periodisation of antiq- uity, their cultures belong to the Early Iron Age. The Scythians and later the Sarmatians were the main ethnopoliti- cal power in the south of Eastern Europe for longer than one thousand years. For them, the Crimea was a remote area. The history of the Taurians began and finished in the Crimea. According to all written and archaeological sources, they never passed the borders of the peninsula.

The new samples include, to our knowledge, the first genome-wide ancient DNA from Anatolian Neolithic farmers, whose genetic material we obtained by extracting from petrous bones, and who we show were members of the population that was the source of Europe’s first farmers. We also report a transect of the steppe region in Samara between 5600 and 300 , which allows us to identify admixture into the steppe from at least two external sources. We detect selection at loci associated with diet, pigmentation and immunity, and two independent episodes of selection on height.

    Acta Archaeologica Lodziensia nr 66 Mariusz Mielczarek https://doi.org/10.26485/AAL/2020/66/12 HERODOTUS AND GREEK SETTLEMENTS IN THE LOWER DNIESTER REGION ABSTRACT The evidence for Greek settlement on the Lower Dniester region in the ancient written sources is very scanty. The evidence in Herodotus is of prime importance. In reality Herodotus was more interested in Scythian matters than those of the Greeks. Herodotus gave special attention to the history of king Scyles and his special relations with Olbia. In light of the coin evidence Scyles could also be connected with Nikonion.

However, these general understandings of the function and morphological Experimental archaeology changes of cheekpieces have never been rigorously tested. This paper presents statistical analyses (e.g., simi- Use-wear larities, multidimensional scaling, and cluster analysis) that document differences in cheekpiece morphology, comparing shield-like, plate-formed, and rod-shaped types in the context of temporal change and spatial var- iation.

  • Mountainous Crimea: a Frontier Zone of Ancient Civilization
    Mountainous Crimea: A Frontier Zone of Ancient Civilization Natalia G. Novičenkova Mountainous Crimea, Taurica, was a region separated from the ancient cen- ters of the peninsula and the communication lines connecting Chersonesos and the Bosporan Kingdom. This region is not particularly well studied and therefore it has been impossible to trace its development in Antiquity, and to clarify its role in the history of ancient Crimea as a whole. The geographical conditions of the Mountainous Crimea determined that the ancient population of this area dwelled almost entirely on the main moun- tain range. From a modern point of view it seems unlikely that a mountain ridge could unite a population into a single ethnic group instead of splitting it into several distinct segments. Yet our evidence from Antiquity suggests the opposite. Thus, for example, Plinius the Elder wrote that the Scytho-Taurians inhabited the range (Plin. NH 4.85). This evidence has evoked bewilderment among scholars1 because this part of Crimea has the harshest weather condi- tions and is covered with snow from November to May almost every year. The main mountain range of Crimea is formed by a chain of plateaus situ- ated at about 1,000-1,500 m above sea level. Here an ancient road system was laid out uniting all the mountain passes into a single system of communica- tion.2 The plateaus with their alpine meadows served as excellent summer pastures. They were effectively protected against any threats from outside. The Taurians, who inhabited the mountain range, were not obliged to strug- gle for the steppe’s nomad territories or to drive their cattle for hundreds of kilometers.

Bronze Age and Early Iron Hoards and single depositions in rivers, lakes and bogs but also mountains and along old paths have been discussed over years. Whereas they were still in the 1970s considered as hidden treasures, in the last 30 years a lot of studies showed the regularities of hoard contents, the non-functional treatment of the objects and many other details which speak for ritual deposition. Meanwhile, most specialists would agree that if not all but the great majority of metal hoards was deposited by religious reasons in the broadest sense. This paradigm change makes Bronze Age hoards a cultural phenomenon which links most regions in Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals and to the Caucasus from Scan- dinavia to Greece between 2200 and 500 BC and in many regions also thereafter.

  • A Comparative Study of Ancient Greek City Walls in North-Western Black Sea During the Classical and Hellenistic Times
    INTERNATIONAL HELLENIC UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES MA IN BLACK SEA CULTURAL STUDIES A comparative study of ancient Greek city walls in North-Western Black Sea during the Classical and Hellenistic times Thessaloniki, 2011 Supervisor’s name: Professor Akamatis Ioannis Student’s name: Fantsoudi Fotini Id number:2201100018 Abstract Greek presence in the North Western Black Sea Coast is a fact proven by literary texts, epigraphical data and extensive archaeological remains. The latter in particular are the most indicative for the presence of walls in the area and through their craftsmanship and techniques being used one can closely relate these defensive structures to the walls in Asia Minor and the Greek mainland. The area examined in this paper, lies from ancient Apollonia Pontica on the Bulgarian coast and clockwise to Kerch Peninsula.When establishing in these places, Greeks created emporeia which later on turned into powerful city states. However, in the early years of colonization no walls existed as Greeks were starting from zero and the construction of walls needed large funds. This seems to be one of the reasons for the absence of walls of the Archaic period to which lack comprehensive fieldwork must be added. This is also the reason why the Archaic period is not examined, but rather the Classical and Hellenistic until the Roman conquest. The aim of Greeks when situating the Black Sea was to permanently relocate and to become autonomous from their mother cities. In order to be so, colonizers had to create cities similar to their motherlands. More specifically, they had to build public buildings, among which walls in order to prevent themselves from the indigenous tribes lurking to chase away the strangers from their land.

    BARTOSZ AWIANOWICZ A NEW HELLENISTIC OSTRACON FROM NIKONION aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 178 (2011) 237–239 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 237 A NEW HELLENISTIC OSTRACON FROM NIKONION In July 2007 at ancient Nikonion near Roksolany on the Dniester liman (Ovidiopol region, Odessa Oblast, Ukraine) during excavations conducted by the Department of Classical Archaeology of the Institute of Archaeology of Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, under the direction of M. Mielczarek, and the archaeological expedition of the National Academy of Sciences of the Ukraine, represented by N. M. Sekerskaya of the Odessa Archaeological Museum, was found an incised ostracon containing the right side of a Greek letter. It was published by the undersigned in this journal, vol. 168 (2009), pp. 196–198. Thanks to a stroke of good luck, the left side of that ostracon turned up in July 2010 on the same site during excavations directed by N. M. Sekerskaya from Odessa Archeological Museum and M. Mielczarek and I. Głuszak from the Institute of Archaeology of Nicolaus Copernicus University. The new piece was found on the stone fl oor of what seems to have been the internal courtyard of a house. Most of amphora stamps and black-glazed pottery found near the ostracon may be dated to 4th and the turn of 4th to 3rd century B.C.1, confi rming my dating of the letter to the second part of the 4th or the beginning of the 3rd century B.C. The new object measures 7.5 cm in width and 9.4 cm in height.

  • GALLO-SCYTHIANS - Celtic Ukraine
    GALLO-SCYTHIANS - Celtic Ukraine ‘’…to the Maeotic Lake on the east, where it bordered on Pontic Scythia, and that from that point on Gauls and Scythians were mingled’’. (Plutarch, Mar. 11:4-5) From the beginning of the 3rd c. BC the territory of today’s Ukraine, previously defined by the Scythians of the North Pontic steppes and Hellenistic influences from the Black Sea zone, was supplemented by the Celtic culture from the west. The influence of the latter can be roughly divided into 2 separate spheres – the area of today’s Western Ukraine, where comprehensive evidence of Celtic migration/settlement is to be observed, and the central/eastern part where La Têne material testifies to the presence of small Celtic groups, and the development of a Celto- Scythian (/Bastarnae) population, well attested to in ancient historical sources. WESTERN UKRAINE Celtic presence in Ukraine is best recorded on the Tisza river, where their arrival is marked by new building, pottery making and metal-working techniques, and the emergence of new economic and political centres (Kazakevich 2012 a). At the moment, over two dozen La Têne sites have been identified in the Ukrainian Upper Tisza, the best documented of these being the major Celtic settlement(s) on the Galish and Lovachka hills, near the modern town of Mukacheve.
