East Greek and Corinthian Pottery from the So-called Olbian Suburb (Excavations 2015—2021)

Abstract

This article deals with East Greek and Corinthian painted wares found during the excavations of the so-called suburb of Olbia. The analysis of the imported painted and plain tableware and special vessels allows us to conclude that the formation of this ceramic complex began in the last quarter of the 6th century BC. Based on this, it is assumed that the development of the territory to the of west of Zaiacha Ravine began during this time. The construction of a defensive system with moat and rampart led to the allocation of a new zone of Olbia city due to the growth of the urban population.
