- Summary:
- The fourth volume of the C series supplements to the Światowit yearly entitled: Pontica et Caucasica contains 15 articles divided into two sections: Causasus and Scythia et Sarmatia. The first section, Caucasus, discusses, among other things, discoveries of early metallurgy in Adjaria, as well as olive lamps and amphorae from the Roman fort of Apsaros. Two articles are devoted to the ancient city of Zalissa, identified with the modern village of Dzalisi in central Georgia. Another text discusses the role of the fortress at Petra (on the coast of Lazica) during the Persian campaign of Justinian I the Great. In the section on discoveries from areas belonging to ancient Scythia and Sarmatia, as many as three articles deal with different research projects concerning ceramics, from the Archaic to the Migration Period. There is also a presentation of the results of the latest research on the alleged Mithraeum at Tyras. Further texts discuss the epigraphic map of Tropaeum Traiani and the fortifications of Tanais in the light of geophysical research. The entire collection closes with a paper devoted to the presence of the ancient cities of Olbia and Borysthenes in Old Polish literature. It is worth noting the participation of scientists of the younger generation in the research conducted. This fact is a guarantee that Pontic archaeology will develop and the editorial team led by Marcin Matera and Radosław Karasiewicz-Szczypiorski will be able to work on further volumes presenting new archaeological discoveries from the Black Sea region.
