Abstract

The excavations in 2016–2018 and 2021 in the southeastern part of the Olbia citadel (Trench R-23), carried out within the Ukrainian–Polish project of the Institute of Archaeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the National Museum of Warsaw, and the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology of the Polish Academy of Sciences, revealed interesting contexts related to the latest horizon of this site. The ceramic complex of this horizon includes fragments of amphorae, red-slip wares, wheel-thrown greyware pottery and handmade pottery from the 4th to the first half of the 5th centuries. These categories of material are most characteristic of the sites of the Cherniakhiv culture of the North-Western Black Sea region.
