Russia: Ancient altar with figures of Greek gods found in Sevastopol
A unique archaeological finding, fragments of ancient Greek homestead that is believed to be nearly 2,400 years old, was discovered on the outskirts of Sevastopol by researchers from Museum Reserve of Tauric Chersonesos, Friday.
Maxim Tyurin, researcher at Museum Reserve of Tauric Chersonesos (Russian): Several years ago this object of the archaeological heritage attracted attention of burglars who managed to dig more than 15 large pits. After these pits were discovered, a question of providing protections to this place as well as carrying out archaeological excavations was raised. We have already started the process.

[Wikipedia] Greeks in pre-Roman Crimea
Greek city-states began establishing colonies along the Black Sea coast of Crimea in the 7th or 6th century BCE. Several colonies were established in the vicinity of the Kerch Strait, then known as the Cimmerian Bosporus. The density of colonies around the Cimmerian Bosporus was unusual for Greek colonization and reflected the importance of the area. The majority of these colonies were established by Ionians from the city of Miletus in Asia Minor. By the mid-1st century BC the Bosporan Kingdom became a client state of the late Roman Republic, ushering in the era of Roman Crimea during the Roman Empire.

CRIMEA: JEWISH SETTLEMENT DATING BACK TO 1ST CENTURY DISCOVERED
Russian/Nat
A Jewish settlement dating back to the first century has been discovered in the Crimea, providing the first evidence that Jews inhabited this part of the ancient world.
The find was made at Khersones, right in the centre of the Crimean capital Sebastopol.
The settlement was uncovered as archeologists at a nearby site in Balaclava discovered the first Roman temple to be found in the Black Sea region.
The ancient Greek city of Khersones has just yielded its latest astonishing secret providing a new insight into Jewish history and settlement.
Although archeological digs began here in 1827 research was curtailed when the Soviets made Khersones a closed city, forbidding foreign archeologists access to the site.
In 1958 a stone engraved with a menorah - a Jewish candelabra - was discovered but because of anti-semitic sentiment during the Soviet era it wasn't considered noteworthy.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union though American archeologists were free to work on the site with their Ukrainian colleagues.
This summer the teams finally uncovered enough evidence to say that there had been a
Jewish settlement there.
Until now there was only written evidence that a Jewish community may have existed in
the first century.
But amongst the most conclusive evidence has been the discovery of a synagogue - right in the middle of the city.
SOUNDBITE:
It is a synagogue which shows that in this Greek city was a Jewish community. The city was definitely Greek and the Jews spoke Greek but when they went to synagogue of
course they only spoke Hebrew.
SUPER CAPTION: Mikhail Zolotarev, Deputy Director of the Khersones National Trust
The local museum which once boasted solely Greek artifacts is now filling up with items from the Jewish find including frescoes and mosaics from the synagogue.
But this find is not the only discovery which is causing a stir among archeologists in the region.
At Balaclava, on the outskirts of Sebastopol, archeologists have just found a second century Roman temple.
Two altars dedicated to the Gods Hercules and Jupiter have been uncovered, alongside a sacrificial altar and an enormous engraved tablet of stone.
SOUNDBITE:
It's the first kind of Roman temple to be found in the territory of the Soviet Union and in the Black Sea region and its the largest tablet of its kind found in this area.
SUPER CAPTION: Oleg Savelya, archeologist
But further excavation on the temple is under threat because the local authorities have planned to build new apartment blocks on the site.
It'll take a Herculean task by the archeologists to ensure the temple remains intact.

Netherlands: Crimean archeologist demands return of Scythian gold to peninsula
A Crimean archeologist called for the return of Scythian gold to four Crimean museums on the recently reintegrated Russian peninsula during a trial on the ownership of the artefacts in an Amsterdam court, Wednesday.
Valentina Mordvintseva, curator, archaeologist and organiser of the Crimea gold exhibition, said that she felt guilty that there is a chance that the museums could lose these objects. The collections are broken and the documentations are disturbed. This is like cutting a page out of a book.
Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Information Policy Emine Dzhaparova disagreed, claiming that Thousands of citizens of Ukraine, like myself, have been eternally displaced since illegal occupation of Crimea and can no longer enjoy their home, land and cultural values and heritage.

Sabatynivka Archaeological Treasure | Virtual Museum Tour
The Mykolayiv Regional Museum of Local Lore. It took a hundred years between its establishment and opening it as a museum. The first findings included in the exhibits were made by sailors back in 1792. The first and genuine Mykolayiv Museum of Local Lore was opened by a lawyer and amateur archaeologist in 1913. It changed its addresses several times and today it is one of the first museums of ancient history in Ukraine. Its objects are the result of exhausting and tremendous archaeological work and a true stroke of luck and success. Yet, sometimes the smile of “lady luck” is more reminiscent of a grin. It is a case of discovery in the village Kuriachi Lozy in the Mykolayiv oblast.

Mysterious 1,5-Year-Old Boy's Skeleton Found In Crimea
Archeologists found a skeleton of a one-and-a-half-year-old boy with an artificially stretched skull in Crimea. The skull deformation is typical of an errant tribe of the Sarmatians. They believed that a stretched skull makes a man aggressive, which means he would also be a good warrior.

Russia: Crypt and remains of wealthy warrior’s family unearthed in Phanagoria dig

A well-preserved crypt containing the ancient remains of a warrior, his wife and three have been unearthed in the Eastern necropolis of ancient Phanagoria in Krasnodar Krai.
The high status of the warrior and his family is indicated by the depth of their burial - more than five meters, and the valuables they were buried with, as well as the other items found in the crypt. The remains date back to the 5th century AD.
The archeological expedition in Phanagoria, organized by the Institute of Archeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences was coming to an end just as the discovery was made.
“In these graves we can see the remains of a family: an adult man - a warrior and a horseman and a woman - his wife and three children. Judging by what we have found here the man was served the city’s army. He was a horseman, because we found riding stirrups and spurs too. There is also a leather harness attached to a belt which was used to carry a sword. The buckles on the harness are really worn-out which means this warrior has seen a lot of fighting. He was unsheathing and sheathing his sword again and again,” head of the Necropolis division at the Phanagoria archeological dig Aleksei Voroshilov said.
According to archaeologists, the warrior and his wife along with his three children may have died from the plague or during an attack by Nomadic tribes.
Several other valuable artifacts have been found this summer in excavations above ground in ancient Phanagoria and underwater, in the flooded parts of the ancient city.
“This year we have discovered very accurate and strong evidence [that Christianity was founded in Phanagoria in the fifth century], which is a marble tabletop, which could be used as an altar in a church. We have discovered a marble baptistery for infants or probably for toddlers as well. It is not very big, nevertheless it is massive and made from marble,” said head of Phanagoria open-air museum Vladimir Kuznetsov regarding the claims the discovery confirms Phanagoria was the birthplace of Christianity in Russia.
The archaeological finds are not only of interest to Russian experts but to the wider world as they are unique among other nation’s discoveries.
“One of our underwater expeditions discovered a ship some time ago, which was sunk following the uprising in Phanagoria against Mithridates VI of Pontus which occured exactly in 62 BC. This ship is one of the most ancient one ever found in the world,” said head of Phanagoria open-air museum Vladimir Kuznetsov.
Around 250 people took part in this year’s archaeological dig at Phanagoria, among them were experts from France and Bulgaria as well as student volunteers.
