- Abstract
The article continues a series of works dedicated to the history of archaeology in Bessarabia and the Northern Black Sea Region in the 19th century - the beginning of 20th century. Analysis of the archive materials of the Imperial Archaeological Commission (held now in the Scientific Archives of the Institute for the Material Culture of RAS, Saint-Petersburg, Russia, further addressed as IIMK RAS) and cartographic materials combined with reconnaissance in the field showed some important details of the history of discoveries of differently dated Anadol and Dmitrovka coin hoards. The place of Anadol hoard discovery is defined (the modern village of Dolinskoe in Reniysk region of the Odessa Oblast, Ukraine), as well as its mode of occurrence and number of coins (more than 1000 Hellenistic coins). Names of the finders and the size of their remuneration are mentioned. The incorrect placing of Dmitrovka hoard of Medieval coins (the village of Dmitrovka, Bolgrad Raion, Ukraine) is reconsidered, and the process of buying up the coins and their distribution between the University of Kyiv and the Odessa Society of History and Antiquities is described. A part of coins which were attributed as low-valued was melted in the Mint of Saint Petersburg. So, it is shown on the basis of the documents that the Imperial Archaeological Commission applied different types of politics for such finds. From gathering and keeping them in one museum (Anadol), on the one hand, and keeping them in various places and partial melting of the massive coin finds (Dmitrovka hoard), on the other.
