Abstract
The most interesting and important discoveries were made under the recent decade excavation at the acropolis of Phanagoria (the trench “The Upper City”). They are connected with the research of the layers and constructions of the 6th – 5th and the end of the 2nd – the fi rst half of 1st centuries BC. This is so because the layers of other periods have remained here worse or are not represented at all. The preliminary review of materials of one interesting architectural complex of the fi rst half of 4th century BC, which was constructed over the public building burned down in the middle of 5th century BC, is given in this paper. The analysis of the remained bases of the walls allows us to determine the area of the building and its planning. On this basis, it was possible to assume that the building had at least two fl oors. Its roof was tiled. The entrance to the building decorated with a portico with two columns was located in the east side. From three sides (the west, the north, and the east) the house was surrounded by pavements of squares and a street, and its south side was contiguous with the large fundamental structure, the function of is obscure. It is also impossible now to draw conclusions on the functional purpose of this building, which was destroyed by confl agration in 350-s BC.
