Džarylgač Survey Project (DSP): pilot survey in the western Crimea A joint survey project of GIA and the Centre for Black Sea Studies of the University of Århus (CBSS)
In May 2006 a team consisting of prof. dr. Peter Attema (GIA), dr. Pia Guldager Bilde (director of CBSS) and dr. Vladimir Stolba (University of St. Petersburg and senior researcher at CBSS) looked into the possibilities for a joint landscape archaeological project focusing on the Tarkhankut peninsula in the western Crimea (Ukraïne). The aim is to the study the impact of Greek colonisation on the wider rural landscape of the area. Inland Crimea is traditionally seen as the pasture-lands of the nomad Scythians, a view supported by the many kurgan (indigenous tumulus graves) dotting the horizon. To date, Greek presence is known from coastal locations only, where it takes the form of fortified farmsteads and settlements. The earliest of these date to the 4th c. BC, and a good many have been excavated. The Dutch/Danish team intends to investigate by means of field walking techniques how far inland the Greeks exerted their influence. The first survey is planned for May 2007.
