British Archaeological Reports Hellenic Colonization in Euxeinos Pontos: Penetration, early establishment, and the problem of the "emporion" revisited: 1394 (British Archaeological Reports International Series)

This volume results from the author's researches into the archaeological data which came to light from settlement excavations in the northern Euxeinos Pontos. This is the sum of all archaeological evidence attesting to the presence in this area of emporia settlements. The author's sources include inscriptions, written, and archaeological material. The aim of the study is to offer as accurate a description as possible of the Black Sea emporia (from the data provided by modern in situ research) covering in particular the period from the middle of the 7th c BC to around 580 BC.
