The ceramic complex of house-hold pit N3 excavated in Bosporus Side Street in Kerch in 2007 is examined in this article. Groups of building ware, transport ware (pithoses and amphorae), kitchen ware (pottery and hand-made) and table ware (red glazed, black glazed and common pottery are singled out. In a quantitative sense, fragments of amphorae prevail, the majority of them are well known in the 6th century (46.7%). The main chronological indicator for dating the complex is finds of red glazed ceramics of group LRC/PhRS of forms 3F and 3G. Fragments of bowls of form 3G, which were found in the filling of the pit, were not known up to the mid-6th century. Alongside with a stratigraphic situation on the excavation site, it enables to date the period of the formation of the complex to the second half of the 6th century.
