Abstract

This high cape dividing Khadzhibeisky and Kuyalnitsky Limans on the high bank of the northern part of Odessa Bay contains a series of archaeological monuments and single finds of different periods.Most of them (a Late Bronze Age barrow,two diachronic barrows,a settlement of the 2nd - beginning of the 5th century CE) have only been located without further investigations.Other finds are represented by scarce numismatics, among which Roman coins (a denarium of Antonin Pius II and a copper coin of Theodosius minted in Nikomedia in the 4th century ВСЕ)and a silver eastern coin were discovered (Fabritsius, 1951; Diamant and Kuzmenko, 1978).The settlement of the 5th-3rd century ВСЕ that was discovered and studied by Mikhail Sinitsyn(1955) in the 1950s and 1960s is widely known. He uncovered houses, a pit for grain storage,red-figure vessels, and other objects.In 2006, fieldwork at this settlement resumed.
