Abstract
This paper presents the first results of the State Historical Museum expedition (2024–2025) at the Semibratnee fortified settlement, identified with ancient Labrys, located on the southeastern frontier of the Bosporan Kingdom. Building on earlier geomagnetic prospection (2018–2019) and previous research, we evaluate a rectilinear, cardinally oriented complex near the fortification line, preliminarily interpreted as an agora bordered by stoai. Excavations in Trench II (c. 500 m²) exposed the western end of the Southern Stoa (Rooms 1–2), an adjacent street with a stone-built drainage channel, and associated architectural elements, including reused Doric components. Stratigraphic observations and ceramic evidence date the primary use of the excavated street and stoa sector to the 4th century BC and the first half of the 3rd century BC, with at least two construction phases, the earlier one likely ending in a fire episode. A roof-tile collapse in Room 2 suggests destruction no later than the mid/ third quarter of the 3rd century BC, followed by the apparent abandonment of this area. A later intramural burial (1st century BC–1st century AD) indicates the long-term disuse of the public complex and its drainage system. These results provide the first excavated evidence for planned civic architecture at Labrys and outline a preliminary chronological framework to be tested by future large-scale investigations.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
