Crimean ancient Greek colonies - a periphery of antique world are, nevertheless, the integral part of the culture of that period /Minns,1913; Reinach,lS97; Sokolov,1973/. The first Hellenic colonies on the Northern coast of the Black sea were founded in YII- YI B.C. In the words of the famous orator Cicero,they were like a border sewn on the vast expanse of barbarian lands. Stretching along the coast, they never penetrated far inland. The territory of Western and Southern Crimea, adjacent to the sea, belonged to the Chersonesus State. The town Chersonesus of the Tauride (422-421 B.C.),(Greek for peninsula) that was the last Hellenic colony in Crimea, and also earlier settlments : Kalos Limen (IY B.C.) and Kerkinitida (YI B.C.) were the centres of Chersonesus country. The Eastern coast of Crimea was the part of Bosporian Kingdom, which united ancient cities on both sides of contemporary Kerch strait. These settlements appeared in YI B.C. as independent and then, in 480 B.C. they united. Pantykapea was the centre of antique Bosporian Kingdom and situated on low-lying terraces, on slopes and the top of mountain Mythridad, (now Kerch). Fig. 1. Archeological excavations on Crimea have been carrying out since last century. Investigations and creation of detailed appearance of most of the antique towns are impeded by contemporary buildings. Transactions on the Built Environment vol 15, © 1995 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 196 Architectural Studies, Materials & Analysis Chersonesus of the Tauride , which outlived Hellenistic, Roman and Bysantine epoches and was ruined in 1287 by tartars , is the exception . Now there is a large archeological museum-preservation on it's territory,where even today anyone can stroll along the ancient streets, visit the antique theatre, admire the polychrome mosaics floors in temples decorated with marble relief compositions, colomns. Figs. 2,3. The most valuable exhibits, which were discovered in the antique settlements and in necropolises on Crimea, are kept now in museum' collections of Russia and Ukraine. Other monuments are awaiting for their discovery. The aim of our work was to investigate conservation status with special respect to biodeterioration , of marble and limestone monuments being exposed outdoors in archeological sites in Crimea in comparison with monuments of Mediterranean countries. The two directions of scientific investigations were followed: (1) Field experiments: - macroscopic observations in situ of signs of deterioration, classified as biological attack ; sampling; estimation of effectivity of protective treatments,that have been already used to the moment; (2) Lab experiments: - recognition and identification of marble infected by black fungi; isolation and identification of black fungi destroyed marble ; studying of some physiological characteristics of isolated strains in pure cultures; modelling experiments on marble slabs. Materials and methods Sampling Field investigations and collecting of samples were carried out during the period of autumn-spring- summer seasons of 1993 - 1994. Altogether three expeditions took place, one of which consisted of scientists from Russia, Germany, Ukraine. We carried out macroscopic visual observations and documented photographically signs of biodeterioration and alteration of stone monuments during the field investigations. The remains of buildings in settlement,the ruins of marble basilics of Y, YI, YII centuries, medieval polychrome mosaics, marble columns and sculptures in the museum garden were investigated in Chersonesus. Some of marble sarcophagus and stelaes, exhibiting Transactions on the Built Environment vol 15, © 1995 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 Architectural Studies, Materials & Analysis 197 outdoors and under the roof were the objects of our studies in Kerch and Feodosia. Also the ruins of former settlements around Pantykapea, such as Myrmeky, Tiritaki, Nymphea were investigated. Marble and limestone According to historico - archeological data , Crimean limestone and marble imported from island Prooonnessus were used for creating monuments and buildings in antique Crimea. As the result of microbiological analysis, some bacteria, algae, lichens and also fungi, especially black fungi that are considered to be the main agents of marble destruction, were discovered on Crimean Monuments made of marble and limestone. For isolation of fungi some replies on stick TESA films and agar- print technique were used from the surface of stone monuments as nondestructive methods. In lab the isolation of fun^i from pieces of damaged marble was conducted with the help of sterilized injeotional needle and binocular microscope. The identification of black fungi was carried out by reference books of Ellis, 1993. Different physiological tests of fungi were conducted such as acid production ( Krumbein, 1992; Krumbein et al. 1993) , ESR - speotroscopy studies of melanins synthesis ( Gorbushina et al. 1993, Soukharjevsky et al.1994), resistance to heavy and transition metals ( Mamonova et al. 1992 ) and utilization of different carbon and nitrogen sources . The methods of batch cultures , including cultivating on marble slabs, on Petry dishes and in flat- bottom microtiter plates were used. Experimental methods The fluorescence and optic microscopy, SEM/ TEM analys i s, transmi tt i ng and reflect i on photometry Tv- image analysis, ESR spectroscopy were used. Results and discussion Macroscopic observation of principal destruction patterns showed agress i ve i nfl uence of both environmental and microbiological factors that is typical for Mediterranean countries (Krumbein et al" 1992, 1993; Urzi et al. 1992, 1994; Zezza ,1994). The main decay factors of environment are : marine spray, atmosphere sulphatic agress ion and other technogenic pollution in industrial cities (Sevastopol, Kerch) , seasonal cycles of freezing - melting, alternating Transactions on the Built Environment vol 15, © 1995 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 198 Architectural Studies, Materials & Analysis repeatedly during the day; strong autumn winds and flooding of some remains owing to rising of sea level over 5 meters since antique tine. As for biodeterioration patterns, on the surface of marble, that has been exposed outdoors for a long time, the associations of fungi, lichens and algae are forming. The depth of fungal penetration into marble depends much on structure and composition of substratum, and also on it's age and time of exposition outdoors. On many samples it reached 5-8 mm. At the same time cracks that are parallel the surface, are often filled with green-blue algae, that can find there necessary moisture and protection from surplus sun light. It should be noted that the chemical treatments such as fungicides, consolidants (KO-9, KO-15 ), hydrophobic films ( Wacker H, 290A) used for protection of marble monuments during past decades in Chersonesus were effective only in the time period 0.5- 1 year. As the typical signs of deterioration of marble by fungi the presence on it's surface of hyphal structures and microcolonies (Staley et al. 1982) , sometimes stretching into substratum, can be mentioned. Fig. 4. The crust, consisting of different structures of fungi and others microorganisms and also of deposits of minerals having biological origin was discovered on many samples of antique marble. We observed limestone ruins in Pantykapea, covered with 5-10 mm layer of deposits on which the boundaries of thailorn of endolythic lichens could be clearly seen. On the fragments of monuments that were excavated at different years, the obvious boundaries of sections can be seen. They evidence about more favourable conditions for exhibits conservation, especially mosaics, under the ground as was early pointed by Saiz-Himenez et al. 1991. Marble samples is characterized by structural heterogeneity, the maximums in distribution of pores that were determined by the method of mercury intrusive porometry are at 0.3-lmkm and 5-7mkm , Kumzerov et al. 1994. We managed to isolate more than 60 strains of hyphomycetes from the surface of damaged Proconessus marble. They belong to different taxonomic groups. Among them there are widespread soil fungi from genera Alternaria, Botrytis, Hyphoderma,Cladosporium, Penicilium, Aspergillus, Phoma, Pestalotia, Fusarium. Transactions on the Built Environment vol 15, © 1995 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 Architectural Studies, Materials & Analysis 199 Nearly half of all the isolated strains had no speculation or formed only chlamidospores in the conditions of pure cultures.

  • CHERSONESUS MUSEUM M.I. ZOLOTAREV (Sevastopol) Abstract
    CHERSONESUS MUSEUM M.I. ZOLOTAREV (Sevastopol) Abstract The first excavations of the ancient Greek and Byzatine city of Chersonesus in the Crimea occurred episodically after the 1820s, but in 1888 a full research program was initiated under the aegis of the Imperial Archaeological Commission. By the time after the Second World War much of the ancient city had been excavated, and investigation began of the Chersonesian chora and the Archaic settlement underlying the Doric city. In 1892 a small site museum was established which in 1924 took over apartments in the Monastery of Chersonesus and establish- ed the first exhibition of excavation finds. The Museum collections, some of which have now been published, contain over 120,000 items, including a unique collection of over 400 local grave monuments. The State Historico-Archaeological Preserve of Chersonesus in modern Sevastopol in the Crimea embraces the territory of the ancient Greek and Byzantine city of Chersonesus. The history of its archaeological investigation covers about one and a half centuries, the first excavations dating back to the first decades of the 19th century. Those were undertaken by several intellec- tuals from among the officers of the Black Sea navy. In 1827 by order of Admiral S. Greig, the commander of the Black Sea squadron, Lieutenant von Kruse excavated several Byzantine monuments in Chersonesus. That was done to commemorate the conversion of Russia to Christianity in 988. From then until 1888 all archaeological works carried out in Chersonesus were merely episodic. We should mention, however, the excavations of 1854 under- taken by Count A.S.

  • Kron Food Production Docx
    Supplementary Material 8 FOOD PRODUCTION (Expanded Version) Geoffrey Kron INTRODUCTION Although it would be attractive to offer a survey of agriculture throughout the ancient Mediterranean, the Near East, and those regions of temperate Europe, which were eventually incorporated into the Roman empire, I intend to concentrate primarily upon the best attested and most productive farming regime, that of Augustan Italy, 1 which was broadly comparable in its high level of intensification and agronomic sophistication with that of Greece, Western Asia Minor, North Africa, Baetica and Eastern Tarraconensis. Within the highly urbanized and affluent heartland of the Roman empire, our sources and archaeological evidence present a coherent picture of market-oriented intensive mixed farming, viticulture, arboriculture and market gardening, comparable, and often superior, in its productivity and agronomic expertise to the best agricultural practice of England, the Low Countries, France (wine), and Northern Italy in the mid 19th century. Greco- Roman farmers supplied a large urban population equal to, if not significantly greater than, that of early 19th century Italy and Greece, with a diet rich, not just in cereals, but in meat, wine, olive oil, fish, condiments, fresh fruit and vegetables. Anthropometric evidence of mean heights, derived from skeletal remains, reveal that protein and calorie malnutrition, caused by an insufficient diet based overwhelmingly on cereals, was very acute throughout 18th and 19th century Western Europe, and drove the mean

  • Landscape Change and Trade in Ancient Greece
    LANDSCAPE CHANGE AND TRADE IN ANCIENT GREECE: EVIDENCE FROM POLLEN DATA ADAM IZDEBSKI TYMON SŁOCZYNSKI´ ANTON BONNIER GRZEGORZ KOLOCH KATERINA KOULI Abstract In this paper we use pollen data from six sites in southern Greece to study long-term vegetation change in this region from 1000 BCE to 600 CE. Based on insights from environmental history, we interpret our estimated trends in the regional presence of cereal, olive, and vine pollen as proxies for structural changes in agricultural production. We present evidence that there was a mar- ket economy in ancient Greece and a major trade expansion several centuries before the Roman conquest. Our results are consistent with auxiliary data on settlement dynamics, shipwrecks, and ancient oil and wine presses.

It spread over the plateau between the modern bays of Karantinnaya and Pesochnaya. The square plateau is approximately 36 ha and its relief is formed by numerous dried ‑ up river‑beds. The Karantinnaya Bay served as the main harbor of Chersonesus. Its slightly sloping western shore was ideal for dockyards, particularly for repairing and drying up the ships. Chersonesusʹ location was a perfect choice from a military point of view. On the north and the east the city was defended by the sea and there were deep ravines separating Chersonesus from the mainland on the south and the west. Along the ridges of these very ravines the city fortification walls were constructed.
