A changing cityscape. Comprehensive new conception of the genesis of Olbia Pontica for the archaic and classical period.

德国-乌克兰合作项目的目的是对奥尔比亚·庞蒂卡在古代-古典时期的城市发展提出一个全面的新概念，其进程通常被假设为不再符合目前的研究状态。我们调查的起点是发现，根据最新的挖掘结果，不可能将奥尔比亚领土划分为核心城市和郊区。虽然该项目的第一阶段已经产生了许多重大成果，但第二个申请期将用于完成和综合现有的资料来源，以便重新设计历史事件的进程。在乌克兰当前地缘政治形势的背景下计划的新活动包括对该项目迄今取得的所有研究数据进行全面分析和公布，重新评估旧发掘的相关结果，以及分析来自奥尔比亚墓地的古代-古典坟墓的分布情况，最后为公元前6-4世纪的奥尔比亚西部制定总体规划。如果将来能够在现场进行实地研究，它将继续迄今为止非常成功的发掘，并为奥尔比亚城市历史的新概念完成数据基础。计划的活动将继续集中在挖掘区П-1的结构上，根据迄今已知的所有事实，这是理解城市规划设计的关键。对所有关于晚期古代防御工事的现有数据的完整分析，以及对20世纪较早发掘的系统整合，也使我们能够进一步明确研究区域内相关建筑对象的年代顺序。对奥尔比亚古代-古典墓地坟墓的分布分析，以及对公元前4世纪迄今未公布的圣地的重新评估，服务于相同的目标，为预期的新概念提供了全面和科学可靠的数据。最后，在奥尔比亚新的考古证据的基础上，将进行超区域比较，以调查是否以及在多大程度上可以确定超区域可比的希腊殖民地起源规划系统。在短短几年内，德国和乌克兰的合作项目成功地从根本上改变了数十年来关于这个米利西亚殖民地起源的观点，产生了新的、具有科学依据的结果。拟议的第二个项目阶段旨在使这项研究有利可图和可持续地完成。

The aim of the German-Ukrainian cooperation project is a comprehensive new notion of Olbia Pontica’s urban development in the Archaic-Classical period, whose course as usually hypothesized does no longer match the current state of research. The starting point of our investigations is the discovery, that - based on the latest excavation results - it is impossible to devide the Olbian territory into a core city and a suburb. While the first phase of the project has already produced many significant results, the second application period will be used to complete and synthesize the available sources of information for the redesign of the historical course of events. The new activities planned against the background of the current geopolitical situation in Ukraine include a complete analysis and publication of all research data achieved so far in the project, a re-evaluation of relevant results from old excavations as well as a distribution analysis of Archaic-Classical graves from the Olbian necropolis and finally the creation of a general plan for the western part of Olbia of the 6th-4th century BC. If field research can be carried out on site in the future, it will continue the very successful excavations so far and complete the data basis for the new notion of Olbian urban history. The planned activities will continue to focus on the structure in the excavation area П-1, which, based on all the facts known so far, is key for understanding the urban planning’s design. The complete analysis of all available data on the Late Archaic fortification as well as the systematic integration of older excavations from the 20th century also allow to further specify the chronological sequence of relevant building objects in the study area. A distribution analysis of the graves of the Archaic-Classical necropolis of Olbia as well as the reassessment of a hitherto unpublished sacred zone of the 4th century B.C. serve the same goal, providing comprehensive and scientifically reliable data for the intended new conception. Finally, on the basis of the new archaeological evidence in Olbia, a supra-regional comparison will be made to investigate whether and to what extent a supra-regionally comparable planning system for the genesis of a Greek colony can be identified. In just a few years, the German-Ukrainian cooperation project has succeeded in fundamentally revising the decades-old ideas on the genesis of the Milesian colony by new, scientifically robust results. The proposed second project phase is intended to bring this research to a profitable and sustainable completion.
