Imported and locally manufactured jewellery in the Cimmerian Bosporus in the late 6th— 5thCenturies BCE

View through CrossRef
This article is devoted to the publication and analysis of gold, electrum and silver jewellery dating from the late 6thto the end of the 5thcenturies BCE, found in the territory of the Cimmerian Bosporus. The main well-dated complexes with finds are considered. Jewellery is discussed by categories: beads and necklaces, pendants and amulets, earrings and temple pendants, torcs, bracelets, and finger rings. The fact, that the jewellery items examined here are considered primarily basing on publications of varying levels of description and quality of illustrations and are unavailable to the author for any technological research, significantly reduces the possibilities of their attribution in terms of distinguishing between imported and locally produced items. Nevertheless, having been studied in the context of all known pieces of jewellery of the late Archaic and early Classical periods from the Black Sea region, Asia Minor, the Near East and Greece, they allow us to express in a cautious form some considerations, basing primarily on the peculiarities of the geographical distribution of forms and decorative motifs. Among the supposedly imported ones, one can single out products of the workshops located in Asia Minor, primarily Lydia, Cyprus and the South-Eastern Black Sea region. There are also grounds to suggest that already in the first half, possibly in the first quarter, of the 5thcentury BCE, local jewelry workshops working with precious metals appeared in the Cimmerian Bosporus. Discussed are certain types of boat earrings, spiral pendants, pendants of necklaces, torcs, bracelets and finger rings which could have been manufactured in the local workshops. Данная статья посвящена публикации и анализу ювелирных изделий из золота, электра и серебра, датируемых концом VI— концом Vвв. до н.э., найденных на территории Киммерийского Боспора. Рассматриваются основные хорошо датируемые комплексы с находками. Ювелирные изделия анализируются по категориям: бусы и ожерелья, подвески и амулеты, серьги и височные подвески, гривны, браслеты, перстни. То обстоятельство, что здесь ювелирные изделия рассматриваются преимущественно по публикациям разного уровня описания и качества иллюстраций и недоступны автору для каких-либо технологических исследований, в существенной степени снижает возможности их интерпретации с точки зрения выделения изделий импортных и местного производства. Тем не менее, будучи исследованы в контексте всех известных нам ювелирных изделий позднеархаического и раннеклассического времени из Причерноморья, Малой Азии, Ближнего Востока и Греции, они позволяют высказать в осторожной форме некоторые соображения, основанные, прежде всего, на особенностях географического распределения форм и мотивов декора. Среди предположительно импортных можно выделить изделия мастерских Малой Азии, прежде всего Лидии, Кипра и Юго-Восточного Причерноморья. Есть основания предполагать, что уже в первой половине, возможно в первой четверти, Vв. до н.э. на Боспоре появляются местные ювелирные мастерские, работающие с драгоценными металлами. Рассматриваются отдельные типы серег в форме калачика, спиралевидные подвески, ожерелья и подвески, гривны, браслеты, а также перстни, которые могли быть изготовлены в местных мастерских.
