Abstract :
The present article discusses two bronze punches found during the excavation of two Archaic house complexes on the island of Berezan. One has been published before; the other, discovered in the course of studying the collection of artefacts from Berezan, is published for the first time. The punches show that the traditions of jewellery manufacture in Lydia and northern Ionia had been developed further on Berezan. To date, no other Archaic Greek settlement in the northern Black Sea region has yielded any material proving the existence of local production of jewellery and toreutics.
