Summary (English)

  • The lower layer of the Late-Scythian ashmound was investigated during the excavation in 2007. The horizontal occupation layer rich was in grey ash.
    A round hole which contained the «burial» of the fire`s remains. The artifact found there is the terracotta altar with relief depicting figures of women holding hands. In this cultural layer were found a fewbeads made of red and blue glass.
    In the second layer of the ashmound was found the occupation level. The occupation level had parts of the wall and water drain (building CLVI), together with grain pits, or silos. In the pits were found a miniature models of olives and seeds (not burnt clay), and baked breads (burnt clay).
    The whole living-household complex was overlain by the third level of the ashmound.
    The levels of the ashmound and living-household complex of the hillfort can be dated according to the finds: fragments of ‘Megarian’ bowls, Rhodes, Sinop and Cnidus sealed amphoras, fragments of the red lacquered ceramics (1st level — 110—25 BC; 2nd level — middle Ist century BC); light-clay amphorae (3rd level — not earlier than the second half of the Ist century BC).
    In the eastern part of the excavation site were investigated the south-western corner of room CLIV and discovered room CLVII. Possibly, the room CLVII initially was larger, but in time the room has been blocked by a stone wall.
    Both rooms date to 120—80 BC.
