У статті розглянуто амфорний матеріал, що
походить з сарматських поховальних комплексів
Буджака останньої третини II—III ст. н. е. Колекція даної тари складається з амфор варіантів
C IVC і C IVD за С. Ю. Внуковим, варіанту I B за
А. Опайцем та посудин невизначених різновидів. В
свою чергу, амфори C IVD можуть бути розділені на підваріанти C IVD₁ та C IVD₂.
The transport amphorae discovered in the Budjak’s
Sarmatian burial assemblages of the last third of
2nd—3rd century AD are analyzed in the paper. These
containers collection consists of the amphorae of variation
C IVC and C IVD by S. Yu. Vnukov, variation I B
by A. Opaiţ and the vessels of undefined kind. In its
turn, amphorae C IVD could be divided on subvariation
C IVD₁ and C IVD₂. Among the researched materials
the containers for olive oil, fish products transportation
are absent and identified variation of amphorae
are presented exceptionally the wine vessels. The big
majority of Budjak’s Sarmatian’s sites amphorae of
marked time belong to the production of Heraclea Pontica.
Such popularity of Heraclean wine among the nomads
we can explain not only by its relative cheapness
or by taste partialities of its buyers. The small sizes of
vessels of variation C IVC and C IVD by S. Yu. Vnukov
helped forward to their transportation by land on the
big distances. The recent notice can regard also the
amphorae of variation I B by A. Opaiţ, produced in
Lower Danube area. The main wine suppliers to the
Sarmatian population of Budjak, were, apparently, the
merchants from Tyras, the part of goods came from the
«little border trade» with Lower Moesia and Dacia. The
peak of amphorae containers entrance to Budjak accounts
for the last third of 2nd — the middle of second
quarter of 3rd c. AD., which was helped forward by the
stable war-political appointments in the region. In the
second half of 3rd c. AD. the entrance volume of these
containers on the researched territory greatly decline,
that, in its turn, was connected with the «Scythian»
(«Gothic») wars of 238—270 years AD.
