The theme of the Black Sea flood, subsequent environmental changes, and their effects on human ecology in the Pontic region continue to remain on the scientific agenda. So far, the biggest enterprise of coordinating teamwork among scientists who concentrate their research on the history of the Black Sea is sponsored by UNESCO.1 This research
