Summary/Abstract: Archaeological excavation in the chora of Akra, a Greek colony situated to the south of Pantikapaion and Nymphaion in the Kerch peninsula, was launched in the 1980s by staff from the Kerch Museum. Since 2002, the Ukrainian-Russian Expedition of Donetsk University and the State Hermitage in St Petersburg have operated on the Zavetnoe 5 site, most probably the main part of this chora, which dates from the late 6th to the first decades of the 3rd century BC. During the years 2009 and 2010, academic staff and students from the Krakow Jagiellonian University in Poland joined this expedition. The preliminary results of our work will be briefly presented in this article.
