Farmhouse 151 in the chora of Chersonesos

The remains of the farmhouse at site 151 were excavated in the 1990s by a joint-Ukainian-American team. It was originally built around the 3rd century BC and was occupied throughout the Hellenistic period until the early 1st century BC. The remnants of Hellenistic vineyard planting walls at site 151 provide insight into the agricultural practices of the period. The farmhouse was likely used for wine production and food storage using pithoi (large clay containers). Other finds from the site include storage ware, various types of fineware pottery, and amphorae. Another significant archaeological find was a household shrine in the form of a niche containing a kantharos and a terracotta club; together with some goat bones that seem to represent ritual offerings, these items may represent household cult focused on Dionysus and Heracles. The farmhouse features a fortified tower, which was modified in ways that indicate an increasing concern with defense in the later years of the site's occupation. Site 151 likely went out of use in the early 1st century BC.
