ZAKISOVAIA BALKA Ukraine.

An unfortified Hellenized settlement (800 x 100 m) ca. 3.2 km S of Olbia along the high right bank of the S Bug. While some archaic finds exist, the settlement reached its height in the 4th-3d c. B.C. and came to an end in the 2d c. B.C. Among the various structures on the site was a large rectangular dwelling consisting of nine rooms and a paved courtyard. The walls of the house were made of adobe on a stone foundation. Excavations suggest that this was an agricultural village in close contact with neighboring Olbia.
