Хора Херсонеса Tаврического (Крим) : yсадьба надела 338 Расконки 2003 г.

Abstrakt

В 2003 году были продолжены раскопки сельской усадьбы 338, расположенной на размежеванной территории хоры Херсонеса Таврического. Памятник археологии находится в Сарандинакиной балке, с юго-западной стороны Балаклавского шоссе.<br>THE CHORA OF CRIMEAN CHERSONESOS. FARMHOUSE 338. This interim report deals with the exploration in 2003 of a tower situated outside the rectangular perimeter wall (24 x 28 m) of Hellenistic farmhouse 338 (Fig. 1). The farmhouse is located on the western slope of Sarandinakina Ravine, in a frontier area of the Chersonesan chora. The courtyard and adjacent Rooms 3 and 4 were excavated in 1992. The tower began to be excavated in 2001; digging continued for two more seasons in the summer of 2002 and 2003. The most recent fieldwork revealed a well cut 2.30 m into bedrock, situated beneath a medieval stone pavement in Room 5, which was devoted to winemaking in the Hellenistic period. The construction of the well partly destroyed two earlier cavities in the floor, which had held pithoi for grape juice. The remains of the Hellenistic winery in Rooms 2 and 5 (a displaced winepressing platform for trampling grapes with feet, a stone counterweight of a press and 10 pithoi for storing wine) are marked on the plan (Fig. 1). At the bottom of the well, which is to be dated to the Roman period, there was a large pithos found in situ. The upper part of the filling contained burnt corn grains, lumps of mud-bricks and potsherds similar to those from the destruction layer of ca AD 50 in Room 2 (see note 1).
