SEriES EdiTOr’S iNTrOduCTiON
the present volume is dedicated to aspects of the black sea. it demonstrates how
much work has been done in this region and the continuing vitality of black sea
studies.
We begin at the beginning of the 1st millennium bc, when the enigmatic
cimmerians allegedly occupied the northern black sea littoral and the steppes of
the hinterland: not much is known about them, but one contribution here examines
what ancient authors had to say. the same author also considers the terms thrace
and thracians in the greek historiography of the 6th–4th centuries bc. the local
population of the southern black sea is examined in one contribution, and the
greek presence on the southern black sea littoral extensively, using archaeology
and literary evidence, in another. in a further essay, the taurians, one of the local
peoples of the northern black sea, are brought out of the shadows. the economy
of that region is viewed through the lens of kerkinitis. and broadening the focus,
religious experience as recorded in epigraphic sources is not forgotten either. a
welcome feature of the collection is the various survey pieces on recent archaeo-
logical investigations and publications on all of the sea’s four shores.
the initial plan for this volume was to create a textbook for students, especially
for those at the international hellenic university in thessaloniki who were partici-
pating in its Ma programme on the black sea and the eastern Mediterranean. not
all of the chapters originally commissioned were submitted, some had to be rejected,
some were revised, yet it was clear that many were too academic to serve this
original purpose. Moreover, they did not cover all aspects of the ancient black sea.
hence, the volume was refocussed, and its present title aptly and more accurately
describes it: a number of essays offering coverage of various facets and several parts
of the black sea, but denying any claim to comprehensiveness or completeness.
the international hellenic university has financed the project. We are grateful
to it, particularly its president, prof. costas th. grammenos, for this welcome sup-
port. Manolis Manoledakis of the international hellenic university has taken the
lead in the project from the beginning and has successfully navigated it to harbour.
as ever, thank go to our publishers peeters, especially bert Verrept, for their
help. i am most grateful to James hargrave for his assistance with copy-editing
and indexing.

the present volume belongs to the research and educational activity of the
international hellenic university on the black sea littoral, especially in antiquity.
there is no doubt that the black sea has been an area with continuously increas-
ing importance during the last decades. after the end of the cold War, scholars
from all over the world have been showing a great interest in the archaeology and
the ancient history of the black sea, an interest that has resulted in many joint
research programmes, excavations, conferences, as well as publications.
being aware of this situation, and realising that there has never been an educa-
tional programme in any university totally dedicated to the black sea, the school
of humanities of our university decided to launch in 2010 the ‘Ma in black sea
cultural studies’, the first postgraduate programme worldwide examining the
black sea littoral exclusively and in an interdisciplinary way. the courses offered
include archaeology, history of all periods, ancient, mediaeval and modern art,
religion, ethnography, politics, international relations as well as economic issues.
after six successful years, we have chosen to broaden the geographic horizon of
our programme’s subject matter and offer it from now on as the ‘Ma in black sea
and eastern Mediterranean studies’.
Within the frame of this Master’s programme we have until now welcomed
students from 14 countries, invited some of the world’s top specialist scholars on
the issues examined to give lectures, and organised two international workshops on
‘the black sea in antiquity’, accompanied by the publication of their proceedings,
as well as several other conferences and events. it is within the same frame that we
decided to create and fund this volume, which includes contributions by members
of our academic staff – tenured, visiting and honorary – and of some other highly
distinguished scholars of the black sea in antiquity. We aim at creating a valuable
book, not only for our students, but also for any scholar of the subject.
it is with great pleasure that i invite you to read this collection of essays on the
archaeology and ancient history of the black sea littoral, hoping that you will find
them useful for your studies and stimulating for further academic discussion on the
issues presented.
