Byzantine amphorae of the 10th-13th centuries from the Novy Svet shipwrecks, Crimea, the Black Sea
Year: 2020

Two shipwrecks of the Byzantine period have been discovered in the Bay of Sudak, Crimea, Black Sea. A significant amphorae assemblage has been retrieved as a result of ongoing archaeological excavations in the bay. Our paper focuses on the amphorae of types Günsenin II, Günsenin III and Günsenin XX (10th-11th century and late 13th century, respectively) found at the Novy Svet shipwreck site. Chemical analysis showed that at least some of these three amphorae types came from the same workshop(s).
