The Barrington Atlas Directory notes: Kul'chukskoye. Hind (1992: 97) mentions this place in connection with the findspot of an inscribed grave stele bearing the name "Parthenios, son of Syriskos." To Hind, this find indicates that this area was part of the state of Chersonesos by ca. 300 B.C.E.

Large fortified settlement (4th - 2nd centuries BCE) in the chora of Chersonesos Taurike used from the fourth to the middle of the second century BCE.  In house 2, a limestone relief depicting the banqueting Herakles was discovered in the wall situ in a wall close to the entrance of the tower. Late Scythian settlement was used from the second century BCE into the first century CE. Early medieval use from the eighth to the tenth century CE.
