Since the col- lapse of the Communist bloc, several publication series on the Black Sea have appeared in the west. For various reasons most have fallen by the wayside. It has been difficult for us as well, as one of the pioneers of a region hitherto little known in the west. The idea for this series arose ten years ago in con- versation with a newly-established, small but dedicated publishing team in Bradford, Loid Publishing. What was really the first volume appeared from them in 1994, entitled Colloquenda Pontica, publishing papers from a work- shop on the Black Sea held at the 95th Annual Meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America, Washington DC, in December 1993. After that issue, publication of the series was taken over by Oxbow (Oxford), with the current title, and after three issues we changed our pub- lisher to Brill, thanks to its former Classics Acquisitions Editor, Job Lisman, where we are happy to remain with a highly qualified team producing beauti- ful volumes. The Editorial and Advisory Boards and I are so grateful to Michiel Klein Swormink (the current Classics Senior Acquisitions Editor at Brill) and Ms Gera van Bedaf (our desk editor at Brill) for their hard work and dedication. Ms van Bedaf nurtures each volume with genuine love. I am so grateful to the Editorial and Advisory Boards, as well as to the indi- vidual authors, for their invaluable help and support, but especially to three people, Prof. Sir John Boardman, Dr John Hind and Dr James Hargrave, with- out whose help, encyclopaedic knowledge and enthusiasm the series would never have come to light, nor have enjoyed a successful life and future. Gocha R. Tsetskhladze Series Editor London/Melbourne This page intentionally left blank PREFACE The Phanagoria Project, which was based at Royal Holloway University of London, was a joint excavation and publication project with the Institute of Archaeology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, with me as Director on the British side and Dr V.D. Kuznetsov as my co-director on the Russian side, to investigate the ancient Tean colony of Phanagoria on the Taman peninsula, opposite the eastern tip of the Crimea, in southern Russia.1 It began in 1995 with a preliminary visit to the peninsula by Dr C. Morgan, Dr K. Arafat and myself. A full field season (seven weeks) took place in July–August 1996, but financial difficulties prevented the British team from undertaking field work in 1997, and in summer 1998 permitted only a visit by a small team for a short study season and an underwater survey of Phanagoria conducted jointly with the Nautical Archaeology Society and colleagues from Krasnodar.2 These financial reverses, the mountain of unpublished material from many previous seasons of excavation, and the current stress of western scholarship on publication and analysis over new excavation, led to the reorientation of the project towards publication of the fruits of previous excavations as well as the details of our own activities in 1996 and 1998. The current volume is the first of three to appear in Colloquia Pontica under the general title ‘Phanagoria 1 For recent general publications on the site, see G.R. Tsetskhladze,‘Phanagoria: Metropolis of the Asiatic Bosporus’. In Greek Archaeology without Frontiers, Athens, 2002, 129–150; V.D. Kuznecov, ‘Phanagoreia. Eine griechische Kolonie am asiatischen Teil des Bosporanischen Reiches’. In J. Fornasier and B. Böttger (eds.), Das Bosporanische Reich: der Nordosten des Schwarzen Meeres in der Antike, Mainz am Rhein, 2002, 59–68; V.D. Kuznetsov, ‘Kepoi-Phanagoria-Taganrog’. In D.V. Grammenos and E.K. Petropoulos (eds.), Ancient Greek Colonies in the Black Sea, Thessaloniki, 2003, 897–921. General articles on Phanagoria, the Taman peninsula and the Bosporan kingdom will be included in volume 2 of the publication of the Project (see below). 2 For results of the underwater survey, see C. Brandon and G.R. Tsetskhladze, ‘Notes on the Survey of the Submerged Remains of Phanagoria in the Taman Peninsula’. Ancient West and East 1.1 (2002), 178–187. For the work of the Russian underwater team, see V.D. Kuznetsov, V.N. Latartsev, E.E. Latartseva and A.O. Amelkin, ‘Podvodnye issledovaniya v Phanagorii v 1999–2002 g.’.

They will be dedicated not just to our excavation there3 but to the whole of the Taman peninsula and the Asiatic Bosporus, and will include pub- lications of material discovered previously in Phanagoria, the geoarchaeology of the peninsula, patterns of rural settlement, other Greek cities and settle- ments of the Taman peninsula, the local peoples of the Kuban region, etc., as well as general articles on Archaic Miletus etc. These articles are written by Russian, British, German, French and other colleagues.
