Тепсень, Hillfort near Koktebel, Ukraine
The Tepsen hillfort extends across 16 to 20 hectares on a plateau near the Kara-Dag mountain range in the Crimean peninsula.
The settlement was established by Bulgar-Turkic people of the Saltovo-Mayaki culture during the second half of the 8th century and lasted until the 10th century.
Archaeological excavations at Tepsen revealed six Christian churches, including the largest medieval church in Crimea, measuring 24 by 31 meters.
The archaeological site contains numerous residential buildings, water supply systems, a well, and remnants of an ancient port infrastructure.
Researchers suggest Tepsen might be connected to the ancient port of Athenaion and the medieval settlement of Posidima mentioned in Genoese records.
