While David Braund has given an account of theatre in the Bosporan kingdom (Chapter 6) and Marina Vakhtina has set out the evidence for music and musical instruments across the extensive north coast of the Black Sea in Chapter 16, there is always the realistic hope that our knowledge of these and related matters will become greater not only through more study, but also as a result of the ongoing archaeology in progress around the Black Sea. There is every reason to expect that we will expand our small group of relevant inscriptions, for it is not so many years since the discovery of the large inscription in the complex at Nymphaeum. No doubt, the female aulete known from her epitaph at Myrmecium will be joined by other musicians in the fullness of time, too. We can also expect to increase our discoveries of theatrical materials and the remains of musical instruments, which are limited – fragments of maybe a dozen bone auloi and two lyres. In confirmation of the grounds for optimism, this brief paper reports important new additions to our archaeological data from the Black Sea region. Epigraphy is not involved on this occasion, although relevant texts continue to be found around the Black Sea and even deep into the hinterland, as now at Heraclea Sintica. Instead we have a mask and several instruments from (mostly) a single site in the Taman peninsula. Since its ancient name is unknown, that site is called Volna 1. Here we present very recent discoveries, which have not yet been studied in any depth. However, since we anticipate that this book will become the first port-of-call for those interested in the theatre and performance of the region, we consider it worthwhile to offer a preliminary publication here.
