INTRODUCTION TO THE SERIES
This current volume is our tenth, a cause for some celebration. Since the col-
lapse of the Communist bloc, several publication series on the Black Sea have
appeared in the west. For various reasons most have fallen by the wayside. It
has been difficult for us as well, as one of the pioneers of a region hitherto
little known in the west. The idea for this series arose ten years ago in con-
versation with a newly-established, small but dedicated publishing team in
Bradford, Loid Publishing. What was really the first volume appeared from
them in 1994, entitled Colloquenda Pontica, publishing papers from a work-
shop on the Black Sea held at the 95th Annual Meeting of the Archaeological
Institute of America, Washington DC, in December 1993.
After that issue, publication of the series was taken over by Oxbow
(Oxford), with the current title, and after three issues we changed our pub-
lisher to Brill, thanks to its former Classics Acquisitions Editor, Job Lisman,
where we are happy to remain with a highly qualified team producing beauti-
ful volumes. The Editorial and Advisory Boards and I are so grateful to
Michiel Klein Swormink (the current Classics Senior Acquisitions Editor at
Brill) and Ms Gera van Bedaf (our desk editor at Brill) for their hard work
and dedication. Ms van Bedaf nurtures each volume with genuine love.
I am so grateful to the Editorial and Advisory Boards, as well as to the indi-
vidual authors, for their invaluable help and support, but especially to three
people, Prof. Sir John Boardman, Dr John Hind and Dr James Hargrave, with-
out whose help, encyclopaedic knowledge and enthusiasm the series would
never have come to light, nor have enjoyed a successful life and future.

PREFACE
The Phanagoria Project, which was based at Royal Holloway University of
London, was a joint excavation and publication project with the Institute of
Archaeology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, with me as Director on
the British side and Dr V.D. Kuznetsov as my co-director on the Russian side,
to investigate the ancient Tean colony of Phanagoria on the Taman peninsula,
opposite the eastern tip of the Crimea, in southern Russia.1 It began in 1995
with a preliminary visit to the peninsula by Dr C. Morgan, Dr K. Arafat and
myself. A full field season (seven weeks) took place in July–August 1996, but
financial difficulties prevented the British team from undertaking field work in
1997, and in summer 1998 permitted only a visit by a small team for a short
study season and an underwater survey of Phanagoria conducted jointly with
the Nautical Archaeology Society and colleagues from Krasnodar.2
These financial reverses, the mountain of unpublished material from many
previous seasons of excavation, and the current stress of western scholarship
on publication and analysis over new excavation, led to the reorientation of
the project towards publication of the fruits of previous excavations as well as
the details of our own activities in 1996 and 1998. The current volume is the
first of three to appear in Colloquia Pontica under the general title ‘Phanagoria
