Late heraclean amphoras from mound 1 of the Chebotarev VII burial ground

Abstract

The article is devoted to the publication of two Late Heraclean amphoras from the cache of burial 1, kurgan 1 of the Chebotarev VII burial ground, located in the Aksai district of the Rostov-on-Don region. According to the metric and morphological characteristics, both amphoras belong to the CIVA2 type according to the classification of S.Yu. Vnukov and date back no earlier than the third quarter of the 1st century AD. Comparison of published specimens with amphoras from a well-known mound near the village of Thresholds (Yampolsky district, Vinnitsa region, Ukrainian SSR) allows us to date them within the limits of the end of the 1st century AD.
