(See related article, p. 31.) iii THE INSTITUTE OF CLASSICAL ARCHAEOLOGY MISSION The Institute of Classical Archaeology (ICA) is an Organized Re- search Unit of The University of Texas at Austin. In order to study, document, and preserve sites, monuments, and artifacts of past life for present and future generations, we conduct archaeological field- work and training in ancient Greek rural territories on the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. We engage in interdisciplinary research and publication and provide technical assistance and expertise for cultural heritage management. RESEARCH FOCUS ICA’s research focuses primarily on the chorai, or agricultural terri- tories, that surrounded and supported ancient Greek colonial cities. Our two primary sites of research are the chora of Metaponto on the southern coast of Italy and the chora of Chersonesos on the north- ern coast of the Black Sea in Crimea, Ukraine. Both settings offer remarkably well-preserved ancient rural landscapes, once densely occupied by farmers and still containing abundant evidence of their homes, burial grounds, and places of worship. Because their locations were strategically important, they also contain archaeological remains from the Roman through Byzantine eras. Through its research, ICA contributes to a fuller understanding of the settlement, economy, and culture of this previously neglected rural dimension of early western civilization. Metaponto and Chersonesos provide a unique chance to compare rural chorai at opposite ends of the colonial Greek world, as well as a valuable opportunity to train students, foster exchanges, and generate international collaboration and good will. ADJUNCT ORGANIZATIONS The Center for the Study of Ancient Territories (U.S.A.),Pidtrymka Chersonesu (Ukraine), and the Centro di Agroarcheologia Pantanello (Italy) are nonprofit organizations founded to support the mission and goals of ICA. Their special focus is expanding international cooperation for ICA’s projects and ensuring cultural awareness and compliance with local laws. iv 2003 IN RETROSPECT Joseph C.

  • The Juniper Coast: a Survey of the Medieval Shipwrecks
    THE JUNIPER COAST: A SURVEY OF THE MEDIEVAL SHIPWRECKS OF NOVY SVET, UKRAINE A Thesis by JOHN ARTHUR ALBERTSON Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Chair of Committee, C. Wayne Smith Committee Members, Filipe Vieira de Castro Daniel Schwartz Head of Department, Cynthia Werner August 2014 Major Subject: Anthropology Copyright 2014 John Arthur Albertson ABSTRACT This thesis provides an accurate, comprehensive physical context for the extent underwater archaeological excavations in the Bay of Novy Svet, located on the southeast coast of the Crimean Peninsula. In addition, it presents vital new historical context and explores new archaeological assemblages discovered while mapping the 100 x 250m2 research site. These include minimal hull remains, concretions, ceramics and an assemblage of anchors and ships equipment dating from antiquity to the modern day. Certain of these may indicate an 11th century wreck site, while others provide probable evidence for seafaring on the bay as early as the foundation of Sudak in 212 A.D. or before. These findings reinforce the work they are built on, and provide improved digital tools for future research. Results are assessed alongside historic and archaeological documentation of medieval and modern activity in the region, including invasive and destructive actions around the Bay of Novy Svet. In addition, the historical record has suggested that a 13th century wreck in the bay may be a Pisan ship burned there by the Genoese after a battle in 1277. While no proof of correlation has been found to date, extent datasets do not preclude the possibility, and support it to some extent.

  • Towards a Comparative Study of Chorai West and East: Metapontion and Chersonesos
    Towards a Comparative Study of Chorai West and East: Metapontion and Chersonesos In Memory of Dinu Adamesteanu (1912-2004) Joseph C. Carter A comparative study of Greek colonies was the goal that motivated me, after nearly a quarter century of multidisciplinary investigation of the western colo- nial chorai of Metapontion and Kroton in Southern Italy, to visit Chersonesos in 1992 and to participate actively, for the last decade, in its exploration,1 while, at the same time, continuing field survey, remote sensing studies of land division, and publications of results from the chora of Metapontion. My first experience of a chora, that of Metapontion, in 1969, though I was unaware at the time, was to be a decisive point in my career. It was then that I came to know Professor Dinu Adamesteanu, the first archaeological superintendent of Gela and Basilicata, animator of the study of the colonial countryside for whom Sicily, South Italy, and the Black Sea were always one world. The archaeology of the chora, east or west, is landscape archaeology and, therefore, necessarily multidisciplinary in nature. It is not at all coincidental that behind the early research of these two best known colonial chorai − those of Metapontion and Chersonesos − were two pioneers in the use of aerial photography in archaeology, D. Adamesteanu and A. Ščeglov. Their work an- ticipated in other ways, too, current “landscape archaeology”.2 More recently the collaborations of palaeobotanists Z. Januševič (Kišinev) with archaeolo- gist G. Nikolaenko (Sevastopol’) and of L. Costantini (Rome) and G. Paškevič (Kiev), and of archaeozoologists S. Bokonyi (Budapest), A.

It includes only the papers submitted for publication after they were presented at one of the conferences organized by our Institute every year. The papers published in the series have not been refereed and are published as they were submitted by the author. The series serves two purposes. First, we want to disseminate the information as fast as possible. Second, by doing so, the authors can receive comments useful to revise their papers before they are considered for publication in one of ATINER's books, following our standard procedures of a blind review.

  • On the Origin of the Early Christian Artistic Tradition in Byzantine Chersonesos
    Athens Journal of History - Volume 1, Issue 3 – Pages 223-238 On the Origin of the Early Christian Artistic Tradition in Byzantine Chersonesos By Anna N. Litovchenko Michail V. Fomin† Aleksey G. Chekal‡ Despite the considerable number of well known Byzantine centres, Chersonesos- Kherson is one of the few where systematic archaeological research has been conducted. More than 150 years of excavations at the site have resulted in the discovery of a significant number of artifacts. Among them a prominent place is taken by Christian churches. The elements of ornament, sculpture, monumental painting and mosaics which have remained intact allow us to make some assumptions about the origin and development of the artistic tradition. The early Byzantine mosaics are a subject of special interest. The main goal of this article will be to represent and analyse early Christian symbols of mosaic in Chersonesos-Kherson and in Syrian monuments. We would like to follow the direction of the origin of the artistic tradition in Chersonesos. The Byzantine mosaics of Chersonesos churches are those of peculiar interest, thus they always draw the researchers’ attention. It would seem difficult to add something further to this but we have came across some materials dedicated to the early Christian mosaics of Syria. Study and comparison of the floor mosaics of the early Christian centres of Syria and Tauris in combination with other kinds of sources, has uncovered new material regarding the process of the establishment of the artistic tradition of early Byzantine Chersonesos. To sum up, one can state with certainty that close contacts between the eastern provinces of the Empire and Chersonesos-Kherson made a substantial impact on many aspects of the city’s life, together with the spread of Christianity from the East.
