This is the first volume of the complete publication of "Panskoye
I", a rural settlement in North-western Crimea dating from the
period c. 400-270BC. The settlement was founded by Olbia, the most
important Greek city on the northern shores of the Black Sea. Half
a century later, the fortress was destroyed and the settlement
taken over by another Greek city, Chersonesos Taurica. From then on
and until its final destruction it formed part of the chora
(territory) of this city. This volume published research results
about a monumental building (U6) which was erected after the
take-over by Chersonesos and details on the very varied and rich
finds from the building. The volume encompasses detailed studies of
the architecture and layout of the building, of a large number of
finds such as sculpture, pottery, lamps, terracottas, coins,
metal-, stone-, and glass objects and graffiti. Included also are
the results of a number of scientific studies, such as geological,
palaeobotanical and petrographic analyses. An introduction presents
the large-scale survey of North-western Crimea which began in 1959
and of which the excavations of Panskoye I (1964-94) form a central
part.;This publication offers an insight into two important issues
in ancient history and classical archaeology, a Greek city's
exploitation of its territory and of the interaction between Greek
settlers and all local tribes, in this case the Scythians and the
Taurians. The volume is the first of three. Volume 2 will deal with
the necropolis of the settlement, and volume 3 with the earliest
fortress.
This first volume in the series "Studies in Hellenistic
Civilization", published for the Danish Research Council for the
Humanities, covers all aspects of religion and religious practice
in the Seleucid kingdom.
