VIKTOROVKA I
Ukraine.
A Hellenized settlement dating from ca. 550 to the early 3d c. B.C. on
the steep W bank of the Sositsko-Berezan liman ca. 1.6
km N of its junction with the Black Sea. While a large
part of the site was destroyed by erosion, excavations
have uncovered the remains of several dwellings, various
pits, walls, assorted pottery sherds (Olbian ware, Greek
imports, local hand-made), and even a bronze harpoon.
The earlier dwellings, as in Berezan and other nearby
sites, were semisubterranean. These gave way, in time, to
surface structures with stone walls.
