Trapezund ceramic stamps from Azov, 202-215

Volkov I.V.

Abstract:
The paper deals with the most wide-spread group of mediaeval amphorae. The finds from town of Azak (Italian Tana) and other contemporary settlements are the basis for this research. Here is presented technological description of these amphorae and discussion of the definition of their origin. Presumably, this group was imported from region of Pontos (Empire of Trebizond). Study on metrology shows the probability of correspondence to Trebizondian measures of volume - tsarikion (53.8 1.) and folleron (31 1.). Reconstruction of the last measure is only speculative. The stamps on amphorae are attributed as marks on measuring vessels using for verifying of volumes. Special officials controlled these amphorae. There are presented finds of stamps from Azak and other towns of the Golden Horde.

Navigation-archaeological review of south-west coast of Crimea from cape Chersonesos to cape Sarych, 222-234

Ivanov A.V.

Abstract:
The coast of the Crimea became the region of regular navigation since the time of Great Greek Colonization. The coastal communications along the South-Western and Southern coast of the Crimea played the main role during the historical periods, from the new time. Chersonesos was one of the important ports on the coast of the Black Sea and during all its history supported intensive seafaring. The economy of Chersonesos, neighbor small towns Balaklava and Inkerman and numerous seashore settlements of this region in its turn found themselves in intimate dependence from the intensification and organization of seafaring in nearer aquatories.

In the paper, the author considers some peculiarity of seafaring near the South-Western Coast of the Crimea and archaeological monuments coherent with the navigation and sea treads. This group consists from differenttime objects, among them remains of lighthouses, cult and fortification complexes in notable places of coastal landscapes, which supported orientation. The remains of coastal settlements, in which sea economy treads predominated, composed different group of sites.

ABSTRACT

In the conditions of active military operations on the territory of Ukraine, scientists and activists drew attention to the fact that the archaeological heritage of Ukraine is suffering great damage. Archaeological objects cannot be restored after destruction, the information contained in them disappears forever. That is why it is important to draw society’s attention to such issues as the protection and preservation of archaeological heritage. That is why the Archaeological Landscape Monitoring Group was created. Members of the organization actively spread information about cultural monuments in Ukraine during the war and participate in Ukrainian and international events aimed at highlighting this information. In particular, a scientific and practical seminar was held, at which representatives of various educational and scientific institutions participated. The fact that the seminar was interrupted by Russian shelling became symbolic. Much attention was paid to the monitoring of archaeological sites and their museumification. Unfortunately, even in the pre-war period, the archaeological heritage was in a state of crisis, which is manifested in the lack of documentation and the algorithm of actions in emergency situations. During the work, the Group focuses on the problems of the current state of archaeological research in Ukraine and cooperates with scientists in this field at the national and international levels.

ABSTRACT

It would seem that humanity received two doses of the vaccine in the 20th century to reject the desire to wage aggressive war forever. However, the beginning of the 21st century was also marked by the war of aggression that Russia started against Ukraine. The territory of Ukraine suffered (and continues to suffer) special losses: it was the theater of hostilities of the First World War, the Second World War, and now another war is destroying life, the country, and our cultural heritage. War, like any other type of destructive activity, negatively affects people's lives, the economy of countries, and the world in general; the sphere of culture suffers, including museums.

At this stage, it is possible conditionally distinguish two periods in the Russian-Ukrainian war (respectively, two stages in the activity of museums at this time): 1) February 2014 - February 24, 2022; 2) after February 24, 2022.

Russia's aggression against Ukraine began in February 2014 with the occupation of Crimea, the organization of pro-Russian rallies in cities in the east and south of Ukraine, and the occupation of certain areas of Luhansk and Donetsk regions. Museum institutions in these territories became automatically under occupation or under threat of destruction as a result of hostilities. The central government of Ukraine was not ready for aggression and occupation, museum collections were not evacuated, even information about these collections can be considered lost. According to the registers of the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy, by 2014 there were 99 museums in Crimea, 24 in Donetsk Oblast, 23 in Luhansk, which stored hundreds of thousands (perhaps millions) of movable cultural heritage items.

After February 24, 2022, the entire heritage of Ukraine, both cultural and natural, is under threat of destruction, because Russian missiles can reach any point in Ukraine (and not only). Museums in the territory controlled by Ukraine or evacuated from the occupied territory must resume their activities. For the evacuated institutions, the problem of restoring the statutory and financial documentation and the museum staff actually arose. Other museum institutions have started the process of documenting the course of military actions in Ukraine and informing the world about the events in Ukraine.

Museum institutions and individual employees are coming together to help each other in difficult times: the Heritage Rescue Headquarters and the Museum Crisis Center have been created, and initiatives that existed before the full-scale invasion continue to help museums (to cope with new challenges). Despite the disassembled exhibits, museum life in Ukraine has not stopped - new exhibitions, other cultural events, exhibitions of museum objects from Ukraine abroad are taking place, trainings and courses are organized on how to work in a crisis period, and foreign colleagues come to familiarize themselves with the experience of museums during war.

Key words: museums of Ukraine, russian-Ukrainian war, museum collections, evacuation, cultural values.

ABSTRACT

Having analyzed the challenges faced by Ukrainian museums during the war, we can conclude that the war has created a number of difficulties for the preservation and exhibition of cultural heritage. Destruction of infrastructure, displacement of population, and lack of funding are some of the main challenges faced by museums in Ukraine. Ongoing violence and instability also make it difficult for museums to operate and continue their important cultural activities. Despite these challenges, many museums in Ukraine continue to strive to preserve their heritage and showcase their cultural history to the world. It is important that the international community supports these efforts by providing funding and resources to help these museums thrive in the face of the conflict, as the ongoing hostilities have also made it difficult for museums to acquire new exhibits or preserve existing ones, as funding is often diverted to other pressing issues.

Despite these challenges, museums in Ukraine continue to play a vital role in preserving the country's cultural heritage. They serve as important repositories of historical knowledge and provide opportunities for the public to appreciate and learn about Ukraine's rich cultural heritage. With proper support and resources, Ukrainian museums can continue to thrive and contribute to the country's cultural development.

The preservation of cultural artifacts during the war is extremely important for museums in Ukraine. Not only are these artifacts important to the country's cultural heritage, but they also serve as reminders of its past, present, and future. They can also play a crucial role in the post-war reconstruction process, providing a sense of unity and preserving the population's own identity. In addition, cultural artifacts often have significant economic value, contributing to the development of an important tourism industry. Therefore, museums in Ukraine should make every effort to protect their collections, even during wartime, as they are an invaluable part of Ukraine's national identity and history.

Key words: museum, war, protection of museum institutions, "museum front", artifact.
