Abstract

In this paper, for the first time are presented the full selection of finds of antler composite combs with a single row of teeth from Olbia Pontica. All of them belong to the Cherniakhiv culture and are related to the time of the last settlement of the territory of the ancient city. From a typological point of view, all of them can be divided into two groups: combs with semicircular or trapezoidal handle and, slightly older than them, comb handles of a complex shape, which is based on a rectangle with a semicircular middle part.
