Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The article is devoted to the chronology and fortification of the “Western suburb” of Hellenistic Tanais. According to archaeological studies 1998–2002 and 2021–2024 important information was obtained, that allows us to speak confidently about the existence to the west of the citadel, at least since the third quarter of the 3rd century BC, of a single urban area with a common system of defensive structures. In recent years, in addition to the discovery of a continuation of the defensive ditch and residential development, coinciding in time of existence and configuration with those previously explored to the west and east of them, a probable location of another entrance to the city from the steppe was identified in the form of a rocky isthmus in the line of the ditch, about 3 m wide. It cannot be ruled out that during the construction of the defensive line, part of the early necropolis was damaged, including that left by the first inhabitants of the Western suburbs, who lived in adobe houses.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
