The paper is attempt to identify the hotbed of metalworking in the Northern Black Sea region in the 6th—5th centuries BC. At the same time, an explanation is given that the hotbed of metalworking should be understood not as a complex of specialized metal-working centers, but as a region of similar production with uniform typological, chemical and metallurgical characteristics, and unified production technology. Contrary to outdated claims, the level of foundry in the forest-steppe Scythian centers in the archaic time was incomparably higher than in the Greek colonies, and it was the local craftsmen who provided the population of the Northern Black Sea region with products made of non-ferrous metals. Many craftsmen worked in the off-premise way, that is, they led a mobile (wandering) lifestyle, extending their activities to the Greek colonies. Some alloys, with an admixture of antimony and arsenic in particular, indicate the links of the foundry workers to the mines of the Volga region and the Urals. However, it is not possible to speak of metal coming from there directly into the Greek colonies. There were no trade routes from Olbia to the eastern regions, since no Greek thing is known on any of the monuments of the Ananian culture. On the contrary, Scythian ornaments and weapons are quite common. Therefore, it was through the Scythian merchants and metallurgists that the metal with an admixture of antimony entered the Northern Black Sea region and the Greek colonies in particular.

Статья посвящена предварительной публикации тайника из позднеантичного склепа Фанагории. Глубокий грунтовый склеп конца IV - первой половины V в. н. э. был исследован на Восточном некрополе в 2019 г. Он имел две погребальные камеры, одна из которых сохранилась в первозданном виде. В ней обнаружено семь захоронений в деревянных гробах, сопровождавшихся богатым погребальным инвентарем, в том числе золотыми украшениями. В полу камеры склепа был открыт тайник. В нем обнаружен длинный всаднический меч с золотым навершием на длинной деревянной рукояти. Рядом с мечом лежали элементы снаряжения воина. Престижное оружие имеет восточное происхождение и принадлежит к группе иранских мечей ранней сасанидской традиции с характерным навершием. Подобные мечи с очень длинными рукоятями известны на изображениях сасанидских царей. Экземпляр оружия из тайника уникален для Азиатского Боспора эпохи Великого переселения народов. Самые близкие аналогии найдены в тайнике склепа 145 из некрополя Пантикапея. Похожее оружие происходит из памятников Северного Причерноморья, Северного Кавказа, Приуралья. Меч из Фанагории является очередным свидетельством культурных связей Боспорского царства не только с Восточной Римской Империей, но и с Державой Сасанидов. The paper contains a preliminary report on a cache from the Late Classical vault in Phanagoria. A deep ground vault dating from the end of the 4th - first half of the 5th centuries was excavated in the Eastern cemetery in 2019. It had two burial chambers one of which was preserved intact. It yielded seven burials in wooden coffins with rich funerary assemblages including gold jewelry. A hiding place was found beneath the floor of a vault chamber. It contained a long horse riders sword with a gold pommel on a long wooden hilt. There were elements of warriors armor lying near the sword. This prestigious weapon with a typical pommel has an oriental origin and belongs to the group of Iranian swords of the early Sasanid tradition. Such swords with very long hilts can be seen on the paintings of Sasanid rulers. The weapon from this cache is unique for the Asian Bosporan Kingdom of the Migration Period. The closest analogies have been found in a hiding place of vault 145 in the Panticapaeum cemetery. Similar weapons come from the sites located in the northern Black Sea region, the northern Caucasus, and the Urals region. The Phanagoria sword is another evidence of cultural links that the Bosporan Kingdom maintained not only with the Eastern Roman Empire but also with the Sasanid Empire.

The pyrite nodules from ore diagenites of the Urals massive sulfide deposits associated with various background sedimentary rocks are studied using optical and electron microscopy and LA-ICP-MS analysis. The nodules are found in sulfide–black shale, sulfide–carbonate–hyaloclastite, and sulfide–serpentinite diagenites of the Saf’yanovskoe, Talgan, and Dergamysh deposits, respectively. The nodules consist of the core made up of early diagenetic fine-crystalline (grained) pyrite and the rim (±intermediate zone) composed of late diagenetic coarse-crystalline pyrite. The nodules are replaced by authigenic sphalerite, chalcopyrite, galena, and fahlores (Saf’yanovskoe), sphalerite, chalcopyrite and galena (Talgan), and pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite (Dergamysh). They exhibit specific accessory mineral assemblages with dominant galena and fahlores, various tellurides and Co–Ni sulfoarsenides in sulfide-black shale, sulfide–hyaloclastite–carbonate, and sulfide-serpentinite diagenites, respectively. The core of nodules is enriched in trace elements in contrast to the rim. The nodules from sulfide–black shale diagenites are enriched in most trace elements due to their effective sorption by associated organic-rich sediments. The nodules from sulfide–carbonate–hyaloclastite diagenites are rich in elements sourced from seawater, hyaloclastites and copper–zinc ore clasts. The nodules from sulfide–serpentinite diagenites are rich in Co and Ni, which are typical trace elements of ultramafic rocks and primary ores from the deposit.

The Subject

The use of birch bark in the design of knife sheaths and sabers have become the subject of our research more than once. These theses are no exception. Research carried out in recent years in the Black Sea region, and the study of museum collections, allow us not only to identify new pieces of cold steel weapons of the 17th-18th centuries, with the scabbard made of birch bark, but also to identify common technological traditions with earlier samples of cold weapons from the archaeological sites of medieval nomads in the south of Western Siberia. One of the topical issues in the study of the design features of the sheath of bladed weapons of the 16th -18th centuries. In the North Caucasus and Eastern Poland, there are issues of continuity in the use of birch bark in their design. Keywords: Saber-chechugi, Armenian saber, scabbard, birch bark, medieval nomads, western Siberia, Eastern Poland, north Caucasus, Black Sea region
