“…Promising discoveries of Bronze Age and Chalcolithic submerged sites were found on the Bulgarian coast in the 1980s and early 90s (see figure nine), but little material has come to light until recent work at Ropotamo, Bulgaria (see below). In a trend similar to that seen in the UK, resolving important issues related to palaeolandscape change have been at the forefront of researchers minds (Caraivan et al, 2017;Lericolais, 2017;Yanko-Homback et al, 2017). However, this has meant that academic debate, from an archaeological perspective, has become skewed.…”

“…There is little doubt that the continental shelf of the Black Sea preserves submerged palaeolandscapes of great interest. As recent publications have documented (Giosan et al, 2009;Lericolais, 2017, Lericolais et al, 2013, 2009Yanchilina et al, 2017;Yanko-Hombach et al, 2007a, 2007bYanko-Hombach, 2007;Yanko-Homback et al, 2017) both geophysical (sub-bottom) and geotechnical data have demonstrated the presence of submerged meandering river systems (Ryan, 2007), peat deposits (Yanko-Hombach et al, 2007a), coastal dune-like formations (Lericolais, 2017;Lericolais et al, 2007) and erosion surfaces (Yanchilina et al, 2017) extending across the region.…”

Submerged prehistory has emerged as a key topic within archaeology over the last decade. During this period the broader academic community has become aware of its potential for revolutionising our understanding of the past. With recent technological and scientific developments has come an opportunity to investigate larger areas and learn more than previously thought possible. When charting the future of the subject, however, it is also necessary to consider its historical trajectory. This sense of opportunity and optimism has been experienced before, but not sustained. As such, our greatest challenge lies not in adopting technological developments, but in maintaining momentum.

“…Both species are of the Ponto-Caspian origin, dispersed in the Black/Azov Sea Lowland from the Pannonian region throughout the Danube riverbed possibly during or just after the Last Glacial Maximum . At that time, the area of the Black and Azov Sea including the estuary of the Dnieper, Dniester, Danube and Don Rivers represented a freshwater lake, isolated from the World Ocean [62,63,[124][125][126], and lately (about 7-9 Tya) separated by flooding of the saline waters from the Mediterranean Sea [127][128][129]. At the same time, another epigean species, Niphargus potamophilus Birštein, 1954, is most likely native to the Black/Azov Sea Lowland, while currently its populations are somewhat scattered [14,63] or still undiscovered.…”

A new species of the genus Niphargus Schiödte, 1849 (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Niphargidae), co-existing with other stygobiotic amphipods, Diasynurella kiwi Marin and Palatov, 2023 and Pontonyx donensis (Martynov, 1919) (Crangonyctidae), is described from a small spring on a shore of Kiziterinka River in Rostov-on-Don City in the mouth of the Don River. Two of the three species in the studied spring, D. kiwi and the discovered Niphargus, belong to microcrustaceans not exceeding the total body size of 3 mm. The new species, Niphargus rostovi sp. nov., represents one of the smallest species within the genus and is mostly related to the Greek Niphargus karkabounasi Ntakis, Anastasiadou, Zakšek and Fišer, 2015, which is also not reaching the body size of 3 mm. One more related undescribed species is found on the Crete Island by the molecular genetic data. These species represent a separate phylogenetic lineage within the “carpathicus” species complex, which diverged from the congeners in the Late Miocene for more than 10 Mya. At the same time, the speciation within the ingroup started about 5–6 Mya, obviously correlating with the drainage of the Euxinian basin of the Eastern Paratethys, connecting the lower Don and southern Greece areas. Niphargus potamophilus Birštein, 1954 is also first recorded from the mouth of the Belbek River in the Crimean Peninsula, closing the known area from the Kuban River delta to Rostov-on-Don area and further along the western coast of the Black Sea to Bulgaria. Analysis of the recent records of long-time lineages of endemic/subterranean/stygobiotic animals unable to disperse for long distances assumed that glacial refugium existed at the mouth of the Don River, along with the South Caucasus (Colchis) and the southern Caspian (Hyrcania), where many species have survived several periods of glaciation since the late Miocene.
