ANDREEVKA (Village) UKRAINE
The site, on a small hill 1.5 km SW of the modern village of Andreevka
and 11 km W of Kerch, was first inhabited in the Bronze Age. Excavations have
uncovered the remains of modest dwellings and grain pits from a Greek or Hellenized
agricultural settlement of the 6th-4th c. B.C. The earliest homes had walls of
poorly baked brick or adobe resting on a stone foundation or socle, and the floor
of one house was slightly sunk into the ground. In the 4th c. B.C. these separated
and isolated homes gave way to the large stone farmstead of a Bosporan Greek consisting
of a complex of storage rooms, cattle stalls, and living quarters built around
a large interior court. The farinstead complex itself covered an area of ca. 1000
sq. m, and small detached structures and grain pits belonging to the farinstead
were found elsewhere on the hill. The farmstead was abandoned in the 3d c. B.C.
