Artesian, Ancient hillfort on Kerch Peninsula, Ukraine
The Artesian settlement stands on elevated terrain with stone fortifications and deep defensive ditches spanning across the strategic position of Kerch Peninsula.

The settlement contains multiple layers of artifacts reflecting the development of metalworking, pottery production, and agricultural practices of ancient communities.
