ΒΕΡΕΖΑΝ (Οικισμός) ΟΥΚΡΑΝΙΑ
The first Greek colony in the N Black Sea, it is on an island in the
Dnieper-S. Bug estuary. The earliest Greek pottery dates from ca. mid 7th c. B.C.
The city's most prosperous period dates from the 6th-5th c. B.C. and
is represented by traces of houses, 6th c. pottery, and black-glazed bowls of
the 6th-5th c. from Rhodes and Attica; also terracottas (seated goddesses or grotesques),
and 5th c. coins from Olbia. There is also a necropolis. Recent excavations suggest
that the site existed until the 4th c. B.C. and was inhabited again in the early
centuries A.D. when various finds indicate that a sanctuary of Achilles may have
existed here. The Hermitage and Odessa Museums contain material from this site.
