Summary/Abstract: In this article we analyze joint finds of the transport amphorae, belonging to the different types and different centers of production, found in the filling of several structures of the archaic Berezan settlement, including dugouts and storage pits. Most of these structures are dated to the second quarter or to the beginning of the third quarter of the 6th century BC, i.e. to the time shortly before the beginning of the phase of rapid urbanization of Berezan settlement. Since the Berezan island site is well stratified, these assemblages give an essential data for establishing relative chronologies for various types of transport amphorae.
