Amphorae stamps are one of the most informative categories of archaeological material discovered during excavations of the multilayered settlement of Chobruchi on the left bank of the Lower Dniester. Most of the stamps were read and dated. The stamp of the previously unknown Chersonesos astinomos Ἀγασικλῆς II ὁ Ἑ[- - -]ος is of apecial interest among the Black Sea stamps published for the first time. Analysis of all stamps of the Black Sea centers makes it possible to distinguish three stages of the receipt of imported products in stamped ceramic tare on the Chobruchi settlement: 1) 310—270 BC; 2) 269—240 BC; 3) 239—190 BC. Taking into account the coefficients of stamping, authors managed to calculate the absolute density of distribution of the Black Sea products in the ceramic tare that arrived in the Chobruchi settlement from the end of the 4th c. BC till the beginning of the 2nd c. BC.

Keywords: left bank of the Lower Dniester, Chobruchi settlement, the end of the 4th — the beginning of the 2nd cent. BC, amphorae, Heraclea Pontica, Sinope, Chersonesos
