Paper summarizes information on the diversity of microscopic algae of 10 lakes of the north-western Black Sea coast (Bile, Kahul, Kartal, Katlabukh, Kytai, Pysarske, Sasyk, Safyany and Yalpug). A total of 339 species belonging to 135 genera, 62 families, 30 orders, 10 classes, 7 divisions were identified. The richest divisions were Bacillariophyta (198) and Chlorophyta (62) and Cyanophyta (40). Representatives of Euglenophyta (18), Charophyta (15), Ochrophyta (5) and Dinophyta (1) were less diverse. In the studied lakes, 13 new species were found for the Danube lakes and four species are first cited for the water bodies of the North-Western Black Sea Coast and the territory of Ukraine. Among them Pinnularia fonticola Hustedt is new record to Europe. Genera Nitzschia Hassall (26), Navicula Bory (15), Сymbella C.Agardh (9), Tryblionella W.Sm. (9), Desmodesmus (F.Chodat) An, Friedl et E.Hegew.(9), Caloneis Cleve (8), Gomphonema (C.Agardh) Ehrenb. (8), Euglena Ehrenb. (7), Cosmarium Corda et Ralfs (7) and Oscillatoria Vaucher ex Gomont (7) formed the basis of the species composition of algae in studied lakes. Morphologically, 189 species are unicellular, 119 colonial and 31 multicellular algae. Of these, 157 species are known as motile and 182 as immotile forms. On different types of substrates different numbers of microalgae species were identified. 148 species grew epiphytically on macrophytes; on solid substrates, 42 species were revealed on concrete and 38 on stones. On the bottom, 110 species were found on silt and 41 on sand. In relation to the level of water mineralization in the lakes freshwater species dominated (281). They include 221 species of indifferents, 58 halophiles and 2 halophobes. Mesohalobes were represented by 52 species, six species are marine (polyhalobes). Lakes Yalpug (198 species), Kugurluy (198) and Katlabukh (192) were the richest in microalgae species.

During a study of fauna associated with a shallow-water Zostera (Zosterella) noltei bed from the southern part of the Romanian Black Sea coast, among the identified material collected in 2015, a syllid polychaete belonging to the subfamily Exogoninae, Sphaerosyllis taylori Perkins, 1981, represents a new record for the Black Sea. Re-examination of available specimens previously identified as Sphaerosyllis bulbosa Southern, 1914 revealed that they belong to an unknown species, described herein as Sphaerosyllis pontica sp. nov. The new species is characterized by the median antenna inserted more posteriorly than the lateral antennae, dorsal cirri with bulbous bases and very short tips, shorter than the parapodial lobes, dorsal cirri absent on chaetiger 2, parapodial glands with fibrillar material from chaetiger 4 onwards, compound chaetae with short blades and smooth shafts, anterior parapodia with two aciculae each, one straight and one with bent tip. Descriptions of both species are provided together with a key to all Sphaerosyllis species known from the Black Sea.

Abstract The paper presents the results of excavations and analytical studies regarding the taxonomic classification of a funeral site associated with the societies of ‘barrow cultures’ of the north-western Black Sea Coast in the first half of the 3rd and the middle of the 2nd millennium BC. The study discusses the ceremonial centres of the Eneolithic, Yamnaya and Noua cultures.

Abstract The paper presents excavation results and analytical studies concerning the taxonomic classification of a funerary site identified with the communities of the early ‘barrow cultures’ settling the north-western Black Sea Coast in the 4th/3rd-2nd millennium BC. The study focuses on the ceremonial centres of the Eneolithic, Yamnaya, Catacomb and Babyno cultures.

The publication considers handmade lamps from Tyras, which are stored in the scientific funds of the Institute of Archaeology of the NAS of Ukraine and Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi Local History Museum. Lighting devices are divided into five types by shape: from semi-closed post-Hellenistic forms with an elongated nozzle, to wide-open forms, so-called boat-shaped lamps. Of particular interest are several rare forms (the 6th type) that are difficult to correlate with any type. All items in this publication are dated by the period from the 4th century BC to the 4th century AD. In addition, the authors managed to find similar analogies not only in the North-Western Black Sea region, but also beyond its borders. Handmade lamps were not items of mass production and were not intended to be widely traded. Nevertheless, they were used not massively, at a considerable area from the Northwest Black Sea coast to the Cimmerian Bosporus during the period from the 4th century BC to the 4th century AD. The abovementioned lamps, unlike certain types of handmade wares, can not be used as an ethno-indicative feature. During the periods of political and economic destabilization, the decline of crafts and trade could have led to the need for the production of handmade wares and lamps in particular.

Abstract The paper presents the results of excavations and analytical studies regarding the taxonomic classification of a unique funeral site associated with the societies of early ‘barrow cultures’ of the north-western Black Sea Coast in the 4th-3rd millennium BC. The study discusses the ceremonial centres of the Tripolye culture-Gordineşti group, as well as Yamnaya and Catacomb cultures.
