Lectures from last year's conference "Olbia in Hunnic Period" are available online. Due to the health condition, not all of the speakers gave their presentations.
We are planning a post-conference publication.
Due to the aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, our excavation campaign in Olbia is canceled in 2022.
With the help of the Polish National Heritage Institute (https://nid.pl/en/centrum-ukraina/) and the Ukrainian crisis aid center, it was possible to deliver to Olbia a transport of materials needed to protect the monuments. The employees of Zapovednik would like to thank everyone involved in this difficult and sometimes dangerous transport.
