title: New Data on the Jewish Community in Late Byzantine Chersonese (Crimea)
abstract: In 2010 a fragment of a flanged tile with menorah graffiti was found during the excavations of block 45 of medieval Chersonese (Crimea). It dates back to the 2nd&nbsp;half of the 13th&nbsp;– 1st&nbsp;half of the 14th&nbsp;centuries. This archaeological finding gives grounds for a new discussion about the existence of the Jewish community in Chersonese in Byzantine times. The aim of our research is to determine a connection between the manufacture of tiles with Jewish symbols and Jewish community
