The article is dedicated to the early medieval North-East Black Sea coastal area fortification objects systematization. As a result of the research we have revealed three types of fortress according to their spatial culture and the belonging of its components to the Byzantium culture: the classical type of fortress, the contaminated type of fortress, the guarded fortress. We have also marked architectural and compositional peculiarities of each type taking into consideration their territorial and spatial location, extensional and planning solutions, decorations and building technique. We have assumed that all the examined early medieval fortification objects belonged to the Byzantine culture.
