Crimean Chersonesos: City, Chora, Museum and Environs
by J.C. Carter
The ancient city of Chersonesos, one of the most important archaeological sites in the world, has been a deliberately well-kept secret for most of the last century.

Its equally famous agricultural territory and its treasures, now housed in the Museum of the National Preserve of Tauric ...

The Cities of Pamphylia
by John D Grainger
Pamphylia, in modern Turkey, was a Greek country from the early Iron Age until the Middle Ages. In that land there were nine cities which can be described more or less as Greek, and this book is an investigation of their history. This was a land at the margins of other great empires - Hellenistic, Roman, Arab and Byzantine - and is still off the beaten track, though Aspendos, Perge and Phaselis are all visited for their archaeology. Only one ...

by Michael Vickers and Amiran Kakhidze
Pichvnari lies on the Black Sea coast of Georgia, at the confluence of the Choloki and Ochkhamuri rivers.

The author uses evidence gathered from Bosporan tomb paintings, funerary stelai, terracotta figurines and representations on coins to demonstrate the interaction particularly between the Scythians and the Greeks (but also the Sindians and Maeotians) in ...

The Returns of Odysseus: Colonization and Ethnicity
by Irad Malkin
Malkin takes an original approach to the subject of contacts between Greek settlers in the ancient Mediterranean. He argues that the 'Return myths' of Odysseus were used in a variety of ways by both settlers and non-Greeks, influencing both initial contacts and perceptions, and the actions that followed, from city foundations to decolonization. This volume is a detailed study of the relation between narrative and behaviour in a specific ...
