Abstract
The materials of excavations of the homestead of medieval settlement of the 8th – 9th centuries AD, discovered and explored near the Livadia hospital in 1981–1982, on the Southern coast of Crimea, are presented in the paper. The manor was built on an artificial terrace on the eastern slope of the hill, on which the cultural layer of the vast settlement, now built up with new buildings, was spread. Excavations revealed the courtyard, parts of residential and farm buildings with abundant finds related to the life and sudden destruction of the estate complex as a result of a natural disaster (earthquake or landslide). The remains of settlements and pottery workshops of the 8th – 9th centuries are also known in other places of the Southern coast of Crimea, including the territory of Yalta and in its environs. A diverse material composition of finds from the excavations of the settlement near the Livadia hospital is stored and exhibited in the Yalta Historical and Literary Museum.
