A landmark monograph on the rural economy of the Bosporan Kingdom by Irina Timofeevna Kruglikova, doctor of historical sciences and one of the foremost Soviet archaeologists of Greek antiquity on the northern Black Sea coast. From 1950 Kruglikova directed the East Crimean Archaeological Expedition excavating the Bosporan Kingdom's rural and urban sites, later leading the Anapa expedition (1960-1972) and the Chersonesos expedition (1974-1980); between 1969 and 1977 she also headed the Soviet-Afghan Archaeological Expedition and for many years edited the annual "Ancient Bactria," making her one of the rare Soviet archaeologists whose fieldwork spanned both the Cimmerian Bosporus and Central Asia. Drawing on several decades of her own excavations across the Bosporan chora together with the classical literary and epigraphic sources, this study offers the first systematic reconstruction of the Bosporan Kingdom's agricultural economy across nearly a millennium, from the earliest Greek villages and estates of the sixth-fifth centuries BCE, through the flourishing rural settlement of the fourth-third centuries BCE, to the estates of the Roman-era Bosporan kingdom and its late antique decline. The book examines field systems and land tenure, agrarian relations, agricultural implements and techniques, viticulture, wine production, horticulture, animal husbandry and poultry-keeping, fishing and hunting, rural trade, and the material culture of the Bosporan countryside, closing with a full gazetteer of known rural sites of the classical period -- a site catalogue so authoritative that its numbering is still used as a standard reference in Black Sea archaeological scholarship today. Issued in a modest print run of 1,450 copies, the volume remains a foundational and actively cited reference for specialists in classical archaeology, ancient agrarian history, and the history of the Cimmerian Bosporus.
