摘要：The Seljuk expansion of 1217–1225 and the fi rst appearance of the Mongols in the territory of the peninsula in 1223 stimulated the construction of guard fortresses in the vicinity of Kherson and Gotia, controlling the passes and routes to the valleys of the mountainous Crimea. In this time period (1220–1230s), in addition to the 12 Early Byzantine fortress towns (6th – 12th centuries), a total of 24–25 new fortifi cations appeared in the deep mountain regions and along the southern bank of the peninsula. The classifi cation of these monuments into a single group is hampered by the almost complete absence of contemporary studies. The author suggests that the study of these fortresses in the form of “clearing”, laying of pits or small excavations, conducted in the 1940–1960s (generally, with no stratigraphy recording), was accompanied by excessively wide and insuffi ciently substantiated dating, as demonstrated by the studies of 1979–1980 at Isar-Kaya fortifi cation near Shaitan-Merdven mountain pass. This fortifi cation was dated the 10th –15th centuries based on the excavations of the 1960s, but actually represented a single-layer monument of the 13th century.
