Historical toponymics of the Northwest Crimea during the antique era
On the archaeological map of the Northwest Crimea some hundreds of archaeological monuments appear now, the vast majority of them remain for us anonymous so far. Antique authors and epigrafic documents informed to us some historical toponymоs on which analysis we will stop below. Among them: Karkinitida, Kerkinitida, Kallos Limen, Dandaka, Tamiraka, Parasin, Gipakiris, Trakana, Targa-Tarka, Karkinitsky or Tamiraksky gulf, Kokino foros. Unfortunately, from them only two urbonim are reliably localized on concrete archaeological monuments: Karkinitida-Kerkinitida on the antique ancient settlement located on the Quarantine cape in the center of modern Yevpatoria, and Kallos Limen on the northern coast Ak-Mechet bay in Chernomorskoye.
