Abstract

The paper is about a Hellenistic ceramic complex of the western area of the ancient city of Tanais. The new material from the excavation trench XXV is shown in comparison with the handmade ware of other districts of the city that was examined by T. M. Arsenieva. Comparison of these materials with the ceramic complex of synchronous layers of the ancient centers of the Northern Black Sea region (collections from cities of the European Bosporus (Kitei, Artesian, etc.), settlements and hill-forts of the Western Crimea (“Chaika”, Kulchuk, etc.) and Lower Bug River region will help to distinguish specific features of the handmade ceramic complex from Tanais and the peculiarities of the ethnic structure of the population of the city.
