Святилище римского времени Бия-Сала в Юго-Западном Крыму
Biya-Sala Sanctuary of the Roman Time in the South-Western Crimea

Summary/Abstract: The authors publish the materials of research in Biya-Sala sanctuary, located on the top of the hill in the upper reaches of Kacha valley. The finds are mainly represented by the fragments of hand-made and red glazed pottery, amphorae, glass vessels, as well as animal bones and teeth. The fragments of terracottas, mirror-pendant, jewelry, a bronze fibula and an arrowhead are attributed to votive offerings. The analysis of the objects showed that the sanctuary functioned in the early 2nd — 4th century AD. Most of these objects are similar to those from the barbarian sites of the South-Western and Central Crimea. At the same time, some finds are unique to the south-western part of the peninsula and were previously known only in the Central and Mountain Crimea.
