ceramic stamps

some Early Classical Assemblages from Chersonesos (north-Eastern District)

The analysis of the ceramic assemblages revealed in the North-Eastern district of Chersonesos in 1982 is presented in the article. They are a few rocky cavities of artificial origin and overlying cultural layer. The material is represented by both imported products and local (the Black Sea region) reminiscences of imported samples. Undoubtedly, these findings are interesting for the study of the early ceramic collection of the site and the economic life of its population at the initial stage of the settlement.

Magistrate Kλειτοσ place in the stamping system of the ceramic tare of Thasos

The article clarifies the chronology of amphora stamps of the magistrate Κλεῖτος, who was in charge of ceramic production on the Thasos. Previously it was thought that this official belongs to the «late» Thasos magistrates and is dated within 30‑20s of the IV century BC. Meanwhile, the collection of archaeological complexes, given in this paper demonstrates that Κλεῖτος belongs to the «early» magistrates and should be dated no later than the 50s of the IV century BC.
