Хр. от заселници от Милет, градът дължи богатството си на медните находища в съседната верига на Медни рид.
Превърнал се в родина на философа Анаксимандър, градът е известен в древния свят с прочутата статуя на Аполон Лечител, считан за негов покровител. Създадена през V в. пр. Хр. от известния скулптор Каламис, тя се намирала в светилището на бога на остров Св. Кирик, където мореплаватели и търговци спирали, за да получат защита и благоволение преди винаги несигурното пътуване. Скоро след създаването си, завладявайки обширна територия и благодарение на развитието на занаятчийството, Аполония разширява влиянието си навътре в Тракия, където, от класическия период, властва Одриското царство.
Старините на Аполония Понтийска от дълго време са обект на интерес, но Александър Дегранд има честта пръв да извърши научни разкопки в Созопол. Проучванията на Дегранд, който е ученик на Шарл-Франсоа Ноел Шампоазо, откривателят на Нике от Самотраки, бележат началото на една плодотворна археологическа практика, в която участват едни от най-добрите български археолози. От 2002 г. насам градът отново е в основата на научно сътрудничеството между Франция и България чрез френско-българската археологическа мисия.
За да отпразнуват тази споделена история, Министерството на културата на България и Музеят Лувър решиха да съберат за първи път произведения от Аполония, открити при археологическите разкопки. Проследявайки изледванията и основните личности, които участват в проучванията, тази изложба разкрива контурите на древния град : от светилището на Аполон, преминавайки през градското пространство, с неговото богатството и изисканост, до обширните некрополи и многобройните аристократични могили, разположени на територията където днес работят български и френски археолози.

During rescue excavations some prehistoric settlements with traces of early copper processing were uncovered. This initiated a thorough investigation of the copper ore deposits of Burgas, Rosen and Medi Rid that were mined until recently. Their archaeometallurgical investigation was a project of the Tübingen SFB 1070 ResourceCultures. The research results include an overview of the archaeological research along the southern Bulgarian coastal zone of the Black Sea and the now flooded sites in its shore area. The timeframe ranges from the earliest use of metals in the 5th millennium BC to the period of the ‘Greek Colonisation’ and later.

The comparison with the assemblages from Istros, Berezan, Orgame, and Taganrog, all of them presumably earlier than Apollonia – with a traditional foundation date c.610 BC, reveals practically an identical repertoire. A couple of "anomalous” fragments that are even earlier, from the middle or third quarter of the 7th century BC, have parallels only at Berezan. The paper argues that there are grounds to suggest an earlier chronology of Apollonia’s foundation, closer to that of the other early Ionian apoikiai.

Due to later disturbances, no substantial structures from the Archaic to Hellenistic times were preserved, but terracotta figurines and small/miniature vases predominate among the materials from the site, suggesting votive practices. The figurines are mostly of females, typical of sanctuaries of goddesses, and some of the types are often associated with the worship of Demeter and Kore. Symptomatic finds, such as kernoi and lamps, as well as the miniature vases also hint at the cult of Demeter. The sanctuary emerged in the second quarter of the 6th century BC and the votive practices continued at least to the late 4th century BC, with a decline in the Hellenistic period. This article analyses the materials from the site and its location against the larger background of the Greek world and the Greek poleis in the Pontic region. Sanctuaries of Demeter on promontories protruding into the sea are known from Miletus, Iasos, Rhodes and Thasos, and the materials from the Skamni Promontory are consistent with the picture from numerous cult places of the goddess.

The review of the scarce written sources reveals a more evenly spread data for the time of Philip and Alexander III, while all mentions for Lysimachus' reign are concentrated to the north of the Balkan Range. Odessos, Kallatis, and Istros took part in the rebellion in 313 BC, Odessos was a major base of Lysimachus by the end of the century, used by Pleistarchus in 302 BC, and the Diadoch had a 'treasury' at nearby Tirizis. Archaeological evidence create a similar picture. For example, inscribed lead sling bullets that could be related to Philip II and the governors of Alexander III (Alexander of Lyncestis and Zopyrion) have been found from Apollonia to the south to the Danube in the north. Barrel-vaulted ('Macedonian') tombs are known only from the necropoleis of Odessos and Kallatis, indicating the presence of high-ranking Macedonians, and the region from Istros to Odessos (and Mesambria) shared the same trends in the architectural decoration in the first decades of the 3rd century BC. The latter are illustrated by the bucrania with garlands that suggest a connection with Samothrace (where Lysimachus was active) and correlate well with the evidence of the cult of the Great Gods of Samothrace that comes only from the region to the north of the Balkan Range. Meanwhile, a strong impression emerges that Apollonia and possibly Mesambria were not part of Lysimachus' domain, which would appear strange having in mind that the region of the Burgas Bay was crucial for the communications between the area to the north and the core of Lysimachus' kingdom in Southeastern Thrace. A hypothetical explanation could be sought for in certain agreements between him and the Thracians to the south of the Balkan Range-one, but not necessarily the only candidate would be Seuthes III.

Recent archaeological investigations in Apollonia Pontica, both on the peninsula and in the temenos on the offshore island of Sts. Kirik and Julita, uncovered new evidence that enriches the information about the types, the chronology, and the distribution of palmette antefixes in the Black Sea area from Late Archaic to Hellenistic times. The paper presents these new finds and complements them with related evidence of eaves tiles from Apollonia Pontica, when available. In addition, it offers an overview of the distribution, the types, and the production of palmette antefixes in the Black Sea, as well as of the use of palmette types on other elements of the roofing construction.

Το παρόν άρθρο πραγματεύεται ευρήματα της κλασικής εποχής από το ιερό της Δήμητρας στην Απολλωνία... more Το παρόν άρθρο πραγματεύεται ευρήματα της κλασικής εποχής από το ιερό της Δήμητρας στην Απολλωνία Ποντική (Σωζόπολη, Βουλγαρία), η ταύτιση του οποίου επιτεύχθηκε το 2011 χάρη στα αναθήματα – ειδώλια, μικκύλα αγγεία, κέρνοι κλπ. Το ιερό λειτουργούσε ήδη στο α΄ μισό του 6ου αι. π.Χ. και συνέχισε μέχρι τα ελληνιστικά χρόνια. Χαρακτηριστικά της κλασικής περιόδου είναι τα απλά, αδρά κατασκευασμένα, μικρογραφικά κλειστά αγγεία – κυρίως οινοχοΐσκες, αλλά και υδρίσκες και αμφορίσκοι. Εισάγονται ως αναθήματα πιθανώς στο α΄ μισό το 5ου αι. π.Χ. και αντικαθιστούν τις μικρές όλπες της προηγούμενης περιόδου. Λόγω του τυποποιημένου σχήματος και της απουσίας ασφαλών συμφραζομένων, είναι δύσκολο να καθοριστεί η χρονολογική ακολουθία και η τυπολογία των μικκύλων αγγείων. Παράλληλα, ένα ομοιογενές σύνολο απλών ληκύθων είχε και αυτό αναθηματική χρήση, ενώ τα υπόλοιπα κεραμικά ευρήματα αποτελούνται από διάφορα είδη μαγειρικής και σερβιρίσματος. Σε σχέση με την αρχαϊκή περίοδο, υπάρχει ορατή μείωση των αγγείων με γραπτή διακόσμηση (ερυθρόμορφα) και με υάλωμα. Κυριαρχούν τα αγγεία πόσεως και κυρίως οι τύποι του 5ου και πρώιμου 4ου αι. π.Χ. (σκύφοι), καθώς και μερικά υστερότερα παραδείγματα. Ιχθυοπινάκια και ποικίλα μπολ συμπληρώνουν το σχηματολόγιο: στα πρώτα, διακρίνονται απλά και επιχρισμένα παραδείγματα, σπανιότερα μελαμβαφή, ενώ στα δεύτερα, κυριαρχούν μικρά και μεγάλα υαλωμένα μπολ του 4ου αι. π.Χ. με έξω και έσω νεύον χείλος, αλλά και πάρα πολλά ακόσμητα που δεν μπορούν να χρονολογηθούν με ακρίβεια. Θραύματα από μαγειρικά σκεύη υποδεικνύουν την παρασκευή και κατανάλωση φαγητού στο ιερό. Παρόμοια εικόνα αναδύεται από καλύτερα γνωστά ιερά της Δήμητρας στο Βόρειο Αιγαίο, ωστόσο τα Άβδηρα αποτελούν το πλησιέστερο παράλληλο, ειδικά από τη στιγμή που έχουν βρεθεί εκεί χιλιάδες αναθηματικές υδρίσκες – σχεδόν ταυτόσημες με τα μικρογραφικά αγγεία που αφιερώθηκαν στην Απολλωνία, με μόνη εξαίρεση τις υποτυπώδεις λαβές στους ώμους.

BC, discovered at a site in ancient Apollonia Pontica, identified as a sanctuary of Demeter. Although fragmentary, the materials – Ionian cups, rosette bowls, etc. – indicate it emerged in the late first or the second quarter of the 6th c. BC, which fact makes it one of the earliest positively identified sanctuaries not only in Apollonia, but in the West Pontic region as a whole.
