Abstract
Since 2014 a German-Ukrainian cooperation project has been researching the urban development of the ancient colonial city of Olbia Pontike in the Archaic-Classical period. The spectacular localization of a hith- erto unknown fortification system, which is not visible above ground and which therefore was unknown for a long time, makes it possible to reconstruct the history of Olbia’s origins in a new light. The results clearly show that the settlement of Olbia was deliberately planned from the very beginning and that the previously assumed separation into a core town and a temporary suburb did not exist.
