Античная керамика из погребений синдского могильника у ст. Анапской (к вопросу о начальном этапе греко-варварских контактов в Прикубанье и Восточном Приазовье)

Abstract

the article is devoted to the analysis of objects of antique ceramic imports from the burials of the early group (late VII – first half of the VI century BC) of the Sindian burial ground near the experimental farm «Anapa»: the Theos amphora and the Ionian cup. Special attention is paid to the amphora of the Theos (or the «circle of Clazomen»). The finds of similar amphorae in the burials of the Kuban and the East Azov region give reason to believe that one of the Greek emporiums through which the product contained in these amphorae got to the barbarians was the Alekseevka settlement located near Anapa. The topography of these finds outlines the direction of a stable route of movement of the nomadic population of the Early Scythian period, the final points of which were Greek settlements known as Alekseevka and Taganrog settlements.
