A significant amphorae assemblage has been retrieved as a result of ongoing archaeological excavations in the bay. Our paper focuses on the amphorae of types Günsenin II, Günsenin III and Günsenin XX (10th-11th century and late 13th century, respectively) found at the Novy Svet shipwreck site. Chemical analysis showed that at least some of these three amphorae types came from the same workshop(s). Thus we assumed that these amphorae represent derivative chronological and typological stages of transformation from one shape to another. Here the archaeological typology of the selected amphorae from Novy Svet is presented, and ideas concerning interconnection between shape and dates are discussed, based on the fact that all shapes considered to be attributes for chronological assumptions are presented in one stratigraphic context.

Typological definitions are given on the basis of the visual analysis of the fabric, morphology characteristic and design of the vessels.

The typological study lead to propose a dating of the cargo between the second quarter of the 6th and the 3rd quarter of the 7th century. Preliminary results of petrographic and chemical analyses show that the two types of amphorae do not correspond to a single production. The hypothesis that the whole cargo came from the workshops of Sinop or of Seleucia Pieria, possible providers of both types, is thus not supported. An origin in Rhosos/Arsuz might be proposed for most of the LRA1 samples, thanks to reference chemical data provided by previous research carried out by Empereur and Picon. The attribution of Plaka ‘carrot’ amphorae requests further study, and especially the analysis of comparative material from Sinop. The amphorae in the cargo are shown to have multiple origins, a feature that may be common in the late 6th - 7th centuries.

The site's deposit is represented by various finds including the weapons as a separate group. It is not numerous, but it is very interesting and demands detailed study.

The functional role of the amphora’s stamps and possibilities of their use for dating archaeological sites of this period in the Black Sea Region is discussed.

All coins belong to the Golden Horde’s and Rum Seljuk’s emissions.

The significant collection of ceramic and glass goods from the 13th century, retrieved from the shipwreck, has no analogues in any of the soundly dated archaeological assemblages or covered complexes. The glazed pottery assemblage shines out among the ceramic material. The majority of these vessels is varied in shape, with glaze covering the white slip and are decorated with concentric circles or central spirals in the sgraffito technique. It is this type of glazed pottery that had wide diffusion in the Byzantine world including Crimea and has been shown to extend from Italy to the Levant. The presented paper has two aims. The first one is the classification and typology of the glazed vessels according to their morphological features, and correlating the specific groups of vessels with their corresponding places of origin or, if possible, a single production centre. Furthermore, the attempt is made to localize these centres by finding the closest analogues. The second task of this work is to examine the hypothesis concerning the provenance of the glazed pottery by means of chemical analyses of the clays, conducted in the Ceramological Laboratory UMR 5138 CNRS at Lyon (France).

Among rare ceramic finds retrieved from the ship is a Spanish amphora from Valencia. The medieval ship carried a large store of amphorae of various types filled with wine and oil along with a large amount of glazed pottery. The rest of the cargo consisted of a small number of other types of amphorae, pots, jars and other pottery that can be associated with personal belongings.

The ship, which according to texts may be a Pisan vessel sunk in 1277, carried two main cargoes of glazed ceramics, together with wares of various types present in smaller quantities. The latter are seen as personal belongings or material used by the crew. Their origins may be as diverse as northern Italy, the Levantine coast, Constantinople, Cyprus and other locations in the Byzantine and Seljouk territories. Some of these hypotheses are confirmed by chemical analysis.

Here the continental shelf between Cape Kiik Atlama and Ai-Foka was investigated. The underwater excavations yielded the finding of a merchantman from the 13th century in the bay of Novy Svet. Amongst the metal finds coins aroused the greatest interest: A hoard of 35 silver coins, so-called aspers, was discovered among the cargo of pottery. Aspers were minted under the Emperor Manuel I of Trapezunt (1238-1263). Such coins are rare and the types found in the ship are unknown to this day.

Hier wurde der Festlandsockel zwischen dem Kap Kiik Atlama und Ai-Foka untersucht. Bei Unterwassergrabungen in der Bucht von Novy Svet wurde ein Handelsschiff aus dem 13. Jh. entdeckt. Von den Metallgegenständen weckten Münzen das größte Interesse: Unter der Fracht ist ein Schatz aus 35 Silbermünzen (sog. Aspern) gefunden worden. Diese wurden unter Kaiser Manuel I. von Trapezunt (1238-1263) geprägt. Solche Münzen sind selten, und die im Schiff gefundenen stellen bis heute unbekannte Varianten dar.

Due to adverse weather a sailing warship with sixty six cannons stroke aground and was destroyed by sea waves in 1786. She belonged to the Russian Navy and bore a name “Saint Alexander”.
During the underwater archaeological surveys carried by the joint Ukrainian-Russian expedition in 2005-2006 a great number of artifacts belonged to this ship was discovered. Concentrations of the ship’s remains as well as elements of equipage, armory and fragments of tackles were localized, observed and investigated. The similar exploration and investigation on the wreck site is planned for next field seasons.
