Abstract
The article examines the stucco lamps discovered during excavations in the Lower Don region's Meotian towns. Lamps were discovered at Sukho-Chaltyrsky, Khaprovsky, Nizhne-Gnilovsky, Temernitsky, Rostov, Kizitirinsky, Kobyakov, and Krepostnoye towns. The article analyzes both previously published lights and those that have yet to be brought into scholarly circulation.
Stucco lamps from Don Meotian towns are identical to those from Tanais. T.M. Arsenyeva devised a lamp typology based on Tanais material, which is employed in this work. The majority of the specimens are from various types of lamps with closed tanks. Although open-form lights are mentioned in literature, they are rarely accompanied with a drawing or thorough description. One apparently three-section light sticks out due to its unusual design.
