Abstract

В статье ставится вопрос о датировке древней архитектуры и оборонительных валов Тиритакского, Безкровного и Узунларского. На основании археологических изысканий и раскопок, проведенных Керченской археологической экспедицией в 2000-е гг., предложен план и линия оборонительных сооружений. Кроме того, на основании археологических данных можно сделать вывод, что, помимо этой оборонительной военной архитектуры, существовала еще неизвестная ранее линия обороны – Восточная линия обороны. В течение 2016–2019 гг. были заново исследованы все оборонительные сооружения – рвы и валы – на Керченском п-ове под руководством А.А. Супренкова. В статье приводится критика многих выводов археолога
