Abstract

We presents the results of studying the rocks used in the construction of a port berth of the city of Phanagoria. It is shown that in the 5th–3rd centuries BC, Phanagoria received large quantities of building stone of various types from the Black Sea coast of Turkey (the cities of Sinop, Trabzon, and Hopa) and the coasts of the Aegean Sea (Aegina and Rhodes). The expediency of such deliveries was due to an acute shortage of building stone on the Taman Peninsula and the need for Phanagoria’s residents to create the necessary port infrastructure.
