Summary/Abstract: The article continues the publication of a series of ceramic amphora stamps from the ancient complex of Koshary. In this publication there are presented the stamps of Heraclea Pontica, one of the famous centers of producers and suppliers of goods in the Black Sea coast. The analysis of more than 40 stamps of this South-Pontic center revealed not only the time of trade relations in these areas in general (the end of the 5th – the beginning of 4th centuries B. C. – the first third of the 3rd century B. C.), but also in the given settlement in particular, the time of the most active trade of the Koshary settlement with Heraclea (the second half of the 4th – the beginning of the 3rd centuries B. C.). Among this group of stamps there is an unknown specimen of a manufacturer’s stamp seemingly dated from the last years of the Heraclea stamping.
