Summary/Abstract: Since 1999, the archaeological expedition of the Centre for Research on Antiquity of South-Eastern Europe and the Institute of Archaeology of the University of Warsaw have conducted excavations in the western part of Tanais, a Greek city located near the mouth of the Don River. Up till now, ca. 1300 square metres have been investigated, which resulted in unearthing Hellenistic architectural remains – fortifications and walls and floors of residential buildings. The paper is an attempt of a detailed description of the architectural complexes unearthed in this part of the town. A comparison with the results of earlier Russian excavations is also made.
