Amphorae stamps are one of the most informative categories of archaeological material discovered on the Krasnoe settlement on the left bank of the Lower Dniester. Most of the stamps were read and dated. The stamp of the Chersonesus astinomos Ὕμνος ὁ Σκύθα with the name of manufacturer Δαμοτέλης with the emblem (bucranium?) is of special interest among the Black Sea stamps published for the first time. Analysis of all stamps makes it possible to distinguish three stages of inflow of imported products in stamped ceramic tare on the Krasnoe settlement: 1) 299—270 BC; 2) 269—240 BC; 3) 239—190 BC. Taking into account the coefficients of stamping, the authors managed to calculate the absolute density of distribution of the products in the ceramic tare that arrived in the Krasnoe settlement from the beginning of the 3rd c. BC till the beginning of the 2nd c. BC.
