More about the book
About the book
In this book 23 scholars from Ukraine, France, Great Britain,
Russia, and Denmark celebrate the 70th birthday of the
archaeologist, A.N. Sceglov, who is one of the senior professors at
the St Petersburg State University.
Sceglov is a pioneer in the investigation and history of ancient
Crimea, as well as a widely recognized authority in the study of
northern Black Sea antiquities. The Tarchankut expedition
established by Sceglov in 1959 explored a number of sites in the
remote chora of Tauric Chersonesos. Panskoye I ranks among the most
prominent of them, and Sceglov has devoted more than 30 years of
his life to this unique and exceptionally well-preserved Greek
settlement.
The contributions to this publication shed new light on a vast
range of Black Sea issues: from the earliest settlements and their
functions to the formation of a Russian science of classical
antiquities. In focus are the important Greek cities Histira,
Olbia, Chersonesos, and Herakleia Pontike, their material culture
and relationship to their own rural territory and to their
non-Greek neighbours.
Until now most research in this area has been conducted solely by
Russians and published in Russian, but now the rest of the world
can get a glimpse of the Black Sea area during antiquity.
