Once More on the Ancient Allotment near the Oirat Promontory in the North-Eastern Crimea

Smekalova Tatyana N.

Plain landscape, fertile soil and mild climate of the North-Eastern Crimea were very attractive for tillers in ancient times. The purposes of the Greek colonization of the region in the classical and early Hellenistic times were connected with agriculture. At the present time more that 40% of the Tarkhankut Peninsula are used as arable land, but the area which is not cultivated today shows some traces of ancient land tenure and surveying. The author reviews the results of remote sensing and geophysical exploration of the remains of the ancient farmstead and allotment near the Oirat Promontory.

Keywords: ancient land allotment, North-Eastern Crimea, geophysical survey, space imaging, aerial photography, Chersonesus, chora, hecatorygos.
