Abstract

A FRAGMENT OF AN ATTIC HELMET FROM THE SETTLEMENT AT LAKE CHOKRAK A.A. MASLENNIKOV and M.YU. TREISTER* During excavations of the ancient settlement at lake Chokrak a fragment of a bronze object worthy of special consideration was found. The settlement explored since 1986 is situated in the elevated central part of a long narrow promontory jutting out into lake Chokrak from the south.' Judging by the geo- logical sediments and results of measurements of changes in the level of the Sea of Azov in antiquity, including the classical time, it was a peninsula in a shallow bay. A number of fresh-water springs rare in these places made the area very attractive for permanent settlements. This is corroborated by numerous finds at the excavation site and in the vicinity of the promontory of flint implements and chips as well as fragments of ancient utensils, first of all amphorae some of which date back to the 6th cent.
