The authors publish and study items from the crypt, discovered in one of the burial mounds of the necropolis located on the Phanagoria Chora. The crypt, built around the middle of the 1st century AD, was used for 50—70 years. In the early period of the crypt’s existence (mid–third quarter of the 1st century AD), 6—7 burials were made, and fully robbed later. The next one was burial III in the southern part of the chamber. This burial was also robbed in antiquity, but some of the bones and items remained in place. In the northern half of the crypt there are intact burials I and II with accompanying equipment. The inventory of the three surviving burials contains terra sigillata, glass vessels and fibulae. The chronology of these objects made it possible to limit the final stage of the crypt’s existence to the last quarter of the 1st century AD — the beginning of the 2nd century AD.
