Description: "This volume, the fourth in the Colloquia Pontica series, deals with Berezan, the first Greek colony established in the northern Black Sea, thus also the first of a ring of Greek city-states which linked the Western world with the vast steppe territory of the Scythians. For more than 100 years archaeologists from Russia and the Ukraine have been excavating this extraordinary island site."--BOOK JACKET.

"This is the first synthesis of their work in any language. It presents the history and archaeology of the site from its establishment in the 7th century B.C. down to the mediaeval period. It has 118 tables, maps and photographs."--BOOK JACKET.
