ЭЛЛИНИСТИЧЕСКИЕ ПОГРЕБЕНИЯ ВОСТОЧНОГО НЕКРОПОЛЯ ФАНАГОРИИ (РАСКОПКИ 2005-2007 ГГ.)

Выпуск № 3 от 01.07.2014

The article analyzes Hellenistic graves of the Eastern necropolis of Phanagoria. The author distinguishes three chronological groups of graves dating back to the late 4 ^th-3 ^rd cc. BC, late 3 ^rd-2 ^nd cc. BC, late 2 ^nd - late 1 ^st cc. BC. It is possible to trace considerable changes in the culture of the Phanagorians - to the degree reflected in the funeral rite and in the content of grave goods. The earliest graves in the Eastern necropolis are dated back to the late 4 ^th - early 3 ^rd cc. BC. Before that this territory was occupied with residential buildings of Phanagorian suburbs. The study of the Eastern necropolis allows us to introduce clarity to the issue concerning the end of the Hellenistic Age in the cultural history of Phanagoria. Considerable changes in mass culture and rites of the Phanagorians were not noticeable since the end of the 1 ^st c. BC. The necropolis preserves almost all the tradition's characteristic for Hellenism. A bunch of important innovations inaugurating a start of the Roman Era in the Phanagorian history might be resulted not earlier than in the epoch of Aspurgus, 2-3 generations after the death of Mithridates.
