Амфорные клейма из Надлиманского городища / Amphora stamps from the Nadlimanskoe fortified settlement

Abstract

Amphorae stamps are one of the most informative categories of archaeological material discovered during excavations of the Nadlimanskoe fortified settlement of Chobruchi on the left bank of the Dniester firth. The first publications of the stamps contained a lot of mistakes, including gross ones. In the present paper these errors have been corrected. In addition, the analysis of the stamps of the Black Sea and Mediterranean centers was conducted. The analisis makes it possible to distinguish four stages of the receipt of imported products in stamped ceramic tare on the Nadlimanskoe fortified settlement: 1) 410—371 BC; 2) 370—336 BC; 3) 335—306 BC; 4) 305—271. Taking into account the coefficients of stamping, authors managed to calculate the absolute density of distribution of the products in the ceramic tare that arrived in the Nadlimanskoe fortified settlement from the end of the 5th c. BC till the end of the first fird of the 3rd c. BC.
