In 1827, a local collector of antiquities encountered a vehicle
carrying stones from the site of Kermenchik/Simferopol on the Black
Sea near Chersonesos. The director of the Odessa Museum immediately
recognized the importance of these finds and rushed to the site. In
the first publication on the site, the author claimed to have
discovered the Neapolis built by the Scythian, King Skiluros. Thus
began the archaeological discoveries at a site that has fascinated
excavators to this day. The author of this present monograph
summarizes the decades of research and theories connected with this
important site and its environs: features, architecture, rites,
material cultural, trade, and cult objects. A uniform chronological
and cultural model for Scythian Neapolis is proposed and phased
characteristics show its historical evolution (c. 300 BC to 300
AD). A group of farmsteads developed into a settlement, then into a
royal fortress with a palace/temple complex, then into a
significant fortified settlement of some scale, then once more into
a royal (?) fortress before becoming the unfortified centre of an
agrarian territory as the headquarters of a Bosphorean deputy. One
Appendix concentrates specifically on the Mausoleum of King
Skiluros, while the other details the inscriptions and sculptures
from the 'Southern Palace' site.
