The paper deals with the study of morphology (shape, decor, color, etc.) and manufacturing technology of beads and pendants found in several burials of a necropolis near the Zaozernoe village in North-Western Crimea. The necropolis was investigated by the Crimean archaeological expedition of the Department of Archaeology, Lomonosov Moscow state University, from 1979 to 1985. The beads and pendants were made of glass, faience, semiprecious stones (carnelian and rock crystal), jet, amber, and bone. The results of the research indicate that these artefacts were imported from the Middle East, Egypt, and the Mediterranean. The catalogue prepared by Ekaterina Alekseeva in 1970s was used for dating the artefacts. This catalogue is still the most signifi cant publication dedicated to collection of beads made of different materials from numerous Northern Black Sea sites.
