Summary/Abstract: The paper presents new discoveries of early East Greek pottery at local sites in the hinterland of the northern Black Sea – on this occasion in the Kuban area during excavation of the Tarasova Balka settlement and the Razmennye tombs. Tableware dates from the last quarter of the 7th century BC; South Ionian amphora fragments, found in abundance, to the end of the 7th–first half of the 6th century BC. Once again, these items demonstrate gift-giving by Greeks from the very beginning of their arrival in the region in the last quarter of the 7th century BC.
