Раскопки IX квартала в Северном районе Херсонеса в 2009 г.

Abstract

The article is devoted to excavations of the fish-salting cistern 5. The cistern dates by the 1st centuries A.D. One of the fish markets of Chersonesos presumably settled down at quarter IX at that time. Epigraphic sources confirm location of the fish market here. The archaeological material from the cistern provided the evidence that the cistern, as well as the whole fish complex, already seized its existence in the Early Byzantine period (5th—6th c. AD). Later the dwelling estates, which functioned till the 13th c., were built here.
