“…The pottery assemblages from the sites suggest connections with the rural Greek settlements on the coast, but the nature of these connections is unclear. The types of pottery identified, however, and also the quantity of Chersonesan coins that have been found by metal detecting in this area suggest that these settlements should be connected with the Chersonesan expansion in the second half of the fourth century BCE (Stolba, Andresen 2015).…”

“…On the Tarkhankut peninsula, the recently excavated farmhouse at Kelsheikh 1, which is more fully discussed below, has revealed clear evidence of agricultural production. Grind-stones and archaeobotanical remains evidence the production and processing of cereals, while the dominance of sheep/goat in the faunal assemblages from pits suggests involvement in pastoral livestock rearing (Stolba, Andresen 2015).…”

“…A recently excavated structure at the site of Kelsheikh 1 ( fig. 5), located at the top of a 15km-long riverine valley outside the area of field divisions identified on the Tarkhankut peninsula, provides more evidence about the nature of these settlements (Stolba, Andresen 2015). Here, although the stone-built structure, constructed in the second half of the fourth century BCE and comprising rectilinear rooms around a small courtyard, has no direct parallels with coastal farmhouses excavated in the region, it is clear that its construction technique and layout are connected to Greek architectural traditions (Stolba, Andresen 2015: 356).…”

AbstractThis paper takes a holistic approach to the data for rural hinterlands in the Black Sea region in the fourth century BCE to reveal pan-Black Sea patterning, importantly including the southern coast and the territory of ancient Sinope. During a period of dynamic mobility and prosperity, the rural hinterlands of Greek settlements around the Black Sea expanded in ways that demonstrate significant regional commonalities in terms of increased settlement, intensified agricultural infrastructure, new connections via road and path networks and the inclusion of dependent territories beyond the traditional chora. Decisions to expand rural territory and intensify agricultural production were taken at the local level, but this patterning demonstrates that such developments were also a response to the dynamics of Black Sea economic and political networks. The associated increased density of occupation and connectivity in these rural hinterlands made them key facilitators of social networks, creating stronger ties between Greek settlements and other local communities, and ultimately enmeshing a more diverse group of people within Black Sea networks.

Ash as an anthropogenic substrate is widely found at archaeological sites in the south of the East European Plain. Investigations of archaeological ashes, the results of which are presented here, have been conducted in three regions that differ in climate and extent of forest cover (from 29 to 1.5%): 1) typical forest-steppe; 2) piedmont forest-steppe with islands of groves; 3) steppe, almost woodless landscapes. Using spectrometry and X-ray analysis, the present study investigates the chemical composition of ancient ash and ash experimentally produced from different sorts of fuel, as well as the geochemistry of soils developed on ash deposits. For ashing, 25 samples of plants that potentially might have been used as fuel were selected, as well as dung from cattle and horses. Using the geometric mean values of concentrations of diagnostic elements, a formula was proposed for evaluating the pedogenetic transformation of ash, which is based on the ratio of accumulation elements (Cu, As, SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 and Pb) and dispersion elements (Sr, Ca, Со, Mg and Na 2 O). The procedure makes it possible to date the pedogenetically transformed ash through the stable associations of chemical elements diagnostic of the geochemical accumulation and dispersion in the soils formed on ash. Geochemical criteria were established for identifying ash that results from the combustion of dung, wood or a combination of different fuels. This study opens prospects for further research into archaeological ash deposits in varying cultural, temporal and environmental conditions.
