Terra sigillata1 which became widespread throughout the whole territory of Mediterranean and Black Sea region in the Roman period constitutes the most important historical source. Unfortunately, however, the terra sigillata of the North Pontic region has not been the subject of any serious or detailed study during the Soviet period. Far less attention has been devoted to the historiography of this question in Russia and the Ukraine than in the West. This is mainly linked with the fact that in the territory of the North Pontic region the few examples manufactured in the West which were found complete with stamps or richly decorated, which had attracted the attention of scholars from all over the world, while the unexceptional fragments of undecorated pottery making up the bulk of the nds at the sites of the North Pontic region constituted a limited source of information. In addition not very much attention used to be paid to the painstaking and labour-intensive work with mass-scale archaeological material in the former Soviet Union (with the exception of amphorae and hand-made pottery, in the study of which a good deal of success was achieved). What was, without doubt, a major contributing factor here was the fact that for any serious study of table-ware, in particular terra sigillata, knowledge of at least the material from excavations in the Eastern Mediterranean (for purposes of comparison) was essential that presented major problems in most countries of Eastern Europe for a number of reasons as recently as ten years ago. Moreover, there was a major shortage of academic literature, which meant that most of the general surveys from 1950-1990 regarding this subject were not to be found in the libraries of the former Soviet Union. The aim of this article, which makes no claim to be an exhaustive study of the subject, is to provide a short analysis of the main groups of terra sigillata found within the North Pontic region and also a literature-survey of Russian and Ukrainian publications on this group of Roman pottery articles.
