Эллинистическая усадьба близ античного города Порфмий в Восточном Крыму

Abstract

This paper is devoted to a small ancient rural house situated to the east from the Bosporan town of Porthmion. The excavations of the farmhouse were conducted in 1988 under the direction of L. B. Kircho according to the plan of field investigations of the Porthmion Group of the Bosporan Archaeological Expedition of the Leningrad Branch of the Institute of Archaeology (LOIA) AS USSR (now the Institute for the History of Material Culture of the Russian Academy of Sciences). Despite the fact that the building remains of the complex were preserved only fragmentarily, the investigations conducted have allowed the researchers to reveal a new interesting object — a Hellenistic farmhouse founded in the late 4th century BC in the immediate proximity to the ancient town and, probably, used until the mid-1st century BC.
