Description of the incident location
The 11th Kilometer settlement is located 11 km west of the city of Kerch near the Kerch-Feodosia highway.
The first settlement on this territory can be dated to the Bronze Age, which includes fragments of stucco pottery, fragments of stone tools, remains of buildings, and burials. In Roman times, in the first and third centuries AD, there was a large settlement here. The period of the most intensive life in the settlement dates back to the first- and second-century CE due to the economic rise of the Bosporus Kingdom at that time. Apparently, the settlement continued in the early Middle Ages (VIII-X centuries) and even in the XIX century.
In 2017, the Crimean New Construction Expedition of the IA RAS excavated almost the entire southern part of the settlement, covering an area of more than 15 thousand square meters. More than a dozen objects of the Middle Bronze Age, 22 building complexes of the Roman period, several buildings of the Khazar era, and buildings of the Modern period were destroyed during the three excavations.
