Traditional Set of Black-Glazed Vessels in Greek Burial Complexes of the Asian Bosporus of the Late 6th — Late 4th Centuries BC (Based on the Materials from the Volna 1 Necropolis)

The article compares a collection of black-glazed pottery from 175 burials and funerary complexes in the necropolis of the Volna 1 settlement, located in the south-western part of the Taman Peninsula (excavations of 2015 and 2016). These burials, including 337 black-glazed vessels, date back to the end of the 6th to the end of the 4th centuries BC. There are a total of 36 types and variations of vessels used for drinking, food and miniature containers for oil and perfume. The composition generally aligns with the main ceramic products found in the funerary rites of ground necropolises in the Asian Bosporus region, but it also has its own unique characteristics influenced by the chronology and some regional traits of the site.
