As a result of the restoration, the plate was cleaned of dirt and oxides, unfolded and fixed. At the same time, Cyrillic texts were found on both sides of the plate. Further study of the texts made it possible to identify the find as a letter on a lead item, with two messages written on it in the Ancient Rus (Ancient Kyiv) language. The text of the message on the front side is read as “A letter from Khytr(?) to Mich and Gyrl(?): having gathered the cattle together, and without Mich lead to Kyiv”. On the back — “A letter to Mich: now the one who was engaged as a thresher is sick, and Dorozh wrote you, but didn’t give it to you, so go home”. The content of both letters was interpreted by the authors as an order from a certain entrepreneur to his employees to collect the cattle and transport it to Kyiv, with a note addressed to one of the employees, explaining the need for him to return back home to replace a sick worker who threshed grain. Paleographic analysis allows establishing that the texts on different sides of the charter were written by different people, and their dating can be determined within the second — third quarters of the 12th century. The letter from Polonne city is the fourth find among Ancient Rus non-parchment documents in Ukraine and the third one among the lead letters of the 12th — 13th centuries in Eastern Europe.","PeriodicalId":37391,"journal":{"name":"Arheologia Moldovei","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81454610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After graduating from the Kyiv Institute of Architecture in 1929, he taught at the Kyiv Institute of Civil Engineering and Art Institute, managed the design workshop of the Kyiv City Council (1938—1941), worked at the Kyivproject Institute (1953—1958, 1961—1977), held the position of chief architect of the Republican Special Research and Restoration Production Workshops State Construction Committee of the USSR (1959—1961). In addition to the development of projects of residential and public buildings in Kyiv, M. V. Kholostenko had done a lot of work on the study, protection and restoration of architectural monuments of the 10th—18th centuries of Kyiv, Chernihiv, Putyvl, Novhorod-Siverskyi. M. V. Kholostenko’s contribution to the study of the Cathedral of the Dormition of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra is significant. Many years of research (1952—1954, 1962—1963, 1969—1972) allowed him to trace the architectural and construction history of the entire ecclesiastical complex. M. V. Kholostenko found out the construction and technical features of the ancient part of the cathedral — the technology of making plinths, the method of masonry of the main walls, arches, vaults. He was the first who systematized and classified the bricks of the Cathedral of the Dormition of the 11th—17th centuries. During the research, new, previously unknown elements of the architecture of the ancient part of the cathedral were discovered, hidden behind later extensions. M. V. Kholostenko developed a scheme of dimensions and proportions of the cathedral of the 11th century and corrected the general plan of the temple and its individual parts. The results of architectural and archaeological research of the remains of the cathedral and the analysis of iconographic sources provided sufficient grounds for the scientific reproduction of the entire cathedral complex. M. V. Kholostenko was one of the first to recreate the original appearance of the Cathedral of the Dormition and reconstructed the Church of St. John the Baptist. The results of his research became the basis for the development of the project for the restoration of the Cathedral of the Dormition of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, implemented in 1998—2000.","PeriodicalId":37391,"journal":{"name":"Arheologia Moldovei","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76815437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The monument was explored in 1999 by the Expedition of Kamianets-Podilskyi University and headed by A. F. Hutsal. The height of the mound was 0.5—0.6 m, the diameter — 8 m. The embankment consisted of soil with stones. Under the embankment, after rabotage, there were discovered the remains of stone structures concentrated above and around the grave. In section, they had a shape close to the square with dimensions of 5.5 × 4.5 m. Its outer contours were limited by large stones. They lay in three parallel rows close to each other. Between them and on top of them there were small stones. Under the mound there was found a burial vault with four pillars. It was located along the northwest-southeast axis. Its dimensions were 2.3 × 3.35 m, the depth was 0.95—1.0 m. The north-western wall of the burial chamber was obviously lined with stones. The floor of the crypt was paved with stone tiles. They were closely adjacent to each other, but in the southern part of the grave and in the western corner the tiles were taken away by robbers. There were pillar pits in each corner of the grave. They were round in section. Their bottom was paved with stone tiles. Depth: 0.97—1.15 m; diameter: 0.71—0.75 m. All the pits were filled with stones and grey earth, and below them there was clay, sand, and pebbles. Only wooden decay remained from the pillars. The thickness of the pillars was 0.2—0.3 m. They could have supported the wooden structure of the ceiling of the crypt. The burial chamber was heavily robbed. Almost all inventory was removed or stolen by them. Only some areas survived. In the northern corner of the crypt, on a stone floor tile, a part of the lower human jaw, four bronze pins and a piece of ocher were found. The clay ladle and fragments of the pot were found near the south-western wall. The bronze arrowhead was discovered in the eastern corner. Most of the objects were moved from their original place. Parts of the bones of the human skeleton were found in the burial pit. Fragments of several ladles, two pots and a bowl were examined in different places. About 265 glass beads and their fragments were also discovered in the grave. The mound can be dated to the early Kelermes period (middle — second half of the 7th century BC). It could have belonged to a wealthy family of one of the local communities. It can also be assumed that the people buried in the mound might have been the clergy of a religious body.","PeriodicalId":37391,"journal":{"name":"Arheologia Moldovei","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75508091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Savelieva","doi":"10.15407/arheologia2022.04.021","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15407/arheologia2022.04.021","url":null,"abstract":"In the article the marble relief of the Thracian Horseman, discovered in 1961 in Tyras, and dated by the first half of the 3rd century AD, is analyzed. The relief was found together with another limestone relief in room no. 29 of the large house no. ІІІ. It depicts a complex scene with multiple members. In the middle of the relief a rider is depicted. He moves to the right, facing full face. The rider holds a spear in his raised right hand. His horse slowly approaches the kneeling bull with its head down. The dog under the body of the horse attacks the bull. The photo and the drawing show Hercules on the right and the man with the torch on the left. In the background (behind the horse’s tail) stands a man with a torch and a tympanum (?). There is an object that looks like a seashell above the man. The author of the article suggests the following interpretation of the scene: the kneeling bull with bowed head is a sacrificial animal, the rider is a priest preparing to perform or performing a sacrifice, and Hercules is the recipient of the sacrifice. The rhyton held by Hercules emphasizes the meaning of the scene, since this vessel is intended for making or receiving a libation. The man standing on the right with ritual attributes is a dedicant. The shell above the man can be a symbol of rebirth after death. The complete analogies to the scenes depicted on the relief haven’t been known yet. However, there are several reliefs with similar individual elements, in particular, those depicting a sacrificial bull. There is no dedicatory inscription on the plate, so nothing is known about the social status and ethnic origin of the dedicant, nor about the name and epithet of the god to whom it was addressed. We can only make the following assumptions: 1. The house in which votive plates were found belonged to a wealthy family. This is evidenced by finds of coins and gold jewellery. The head of the family obviously belonged to the local elite. 2. Perhaps the owner of the house was Thracian by origin. He could have been a veteran of the Roman army or his descendant. It is known that in the 2nd — the first half of the 3rd centuries AD the Roman garrison was located in Tyras. It was recruited in Lower Moesia. 3. Perhaps a marble relief was made to order. In this case, the customer could choose the plot himself, which reflected an episode from his personal experience, in particular, participation in mysteries. The room in which votive plates were discovered probably served as a home sanctuary (a place where the family performed certain religious activities and placed offerings to the gods).","PeriodicalId":37391,"journal":{"name":"Arheologia Moldovei","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72471615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

General North Pontic specimens and samples of three local groups (North-West Pontic, Southern Buh and Lower Dnipro regions) were characterized. Intragroup analysis was held in two steps: 1) using principal component method and 2) using two indexes (cranial and upperfacial). According to the results of intragroup analysis the Yamna population of this territory was heterogeneous. Two craniocomplexes can be seen: 1) relatively broad-faced dolichomesocranial and 2) leptene hyperdolichocranial. The second craniocomplex is most visible in the North-West Pontic region. Both are equally represented in materials from Southern Buh and Lower Dnipro regions. There is also a connection between physical characteristics of the individual and the posture, in which he was buried. In majority of the cases, which form relatively broad-faced dolichomesocranial group, supine position was used for burial. While for those, which form leptene hyperdolichocranial group, the position on the side is more typical. These results support and illustrate well the ideas developed by Ukrainian anthropologist S. I. Kruts about the Yamna population of the region. While the broad-faced dolichomesocranial craniocomplex has broad analogies among the populations of the Yamna cultural circle in the Lower Don and Volga-Ural regions, the narrow-faced hyperdolichocranials are not typical for the eastern Yamna territories. Apparently, the second complex determines the uniqueness of the North Pontic steppe population compared to other groups of the Yamna cultural circle. Its origins will be discussed in the next article, which will cover the issue of intergroup analysis.","PeriodicalId":37391,"journal":{"name":"Arheologia Moldovei","volume":"144 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90292051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various theories of scientists dealing with this issue are analyzed and new materials of research of archaeological complexes in Sedniv and Liubech in Chernihiv Oblast are put into scientific circulation. The traditions of pottery are the most conservative during the existence of archaeological cultures. Technological techniques, vessel shapes, types of impurities, firing methods, surface ornamentation appear at its beginning and do not change. Radical changes occur only in the case of a certain external influence, and the massive one. Occupation of the Left Bank of the Dnipro River and, in particular, the Desna River region by the bearers of the Ancient Rus culture during the 10th century was such a factor. The technological traditions brought with them were adapted to local realities in different ways. The process of interaction between the two pottery traditions took place on different territories at different times — during the strengthening of the Rus influence on the Siverins. The expansion of the borders of Rus led to the emergence of the Ancient Rus pottery among the Siverins, and this led to experiments in the manufacture of the Romny culture utensils similar in shape and ornamentation to the Ancient Rus products. There appeared pots made of traditional for the Romny culture molding masses decorated with linear and wavy ornaments with a profiling on top similar to the Ancient Rus items. Such experiments did not last long and over time wheel-made ceramic ware completely replaced the traditional handmade one.","PeriodicalId":37391,"journal":{"name":"Arheologia Moldovei","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77427056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His biography and the path to archaeology was very thorny and difficult. However, until now the biography of this researcher has not been given enough attention, which is corrected by this article. Oleksandr Karasiov was born in St. Petersburg on August 3, 1902. During his busy life, before becoming an archaeologist, he managed to work as an extra in the health department at the registry office, volunteered in the Baltic Fleet as a journalist, began studying at the Higher School of Pilot-Observers and entered the Institute of Civil Engineers at the Faculty of Architecture. And this is not a complete list. Finally, in January 1925, he entered the Leningrad State University at the Faculty of Linguistics and Material Culture. Since 1926, during his studying at the university, O. Karasiov participated annually in the archaeological excavations at Olbia, which were initially led by B. V. Farmakovskyi, and considered himself as one of his disciples. Since that time, O. Karasiov was a tireless researcher of Olbia for 45 years, includingt 34 field seasons. The greatest archaeological achievements of O. Karasiov were made after the Second World War, when he, together with his wife, O. I. Levi, led the excavations at the «E» site, where for the first time they made the most significant discoveries published in the work Olvia. Temenos and agora and in many other articles. O. M. Karasiov owns the longest list of works on the monumental buildings of the Olbian temenos with a detailed examination of cultural stratifications, a functional definition of various types and purposes of stone structures, among which the most significant are the largest altar in the Northern Black Sea region, the temples of Apollo Delphinius, the spherical foundations of a possible Delphinion and the temple of Zeus of the Hellenistic time, large and small stoas, sacred treasury, etc. A thorough study of the monuments of the Olbian temenos, representing a single architectural ensemble and their publication, rightfully belongs to one of the most important archaeological discoveries made in Olbia and in the Northern Black Sea region in general.","PeriodicalId":37391,"journal":{"name":"Arheologia Moldovei","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73911453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to establish potential research opportunities, the general state of the study of fabrics in Ukraine according to archaeological remains is examined. Until now, the fabrics of the Slavs of the first quarter of the 1st millennium AD on the territory of modern Ukraine have not been studied. Their study is now available on the basis of fabric prints on clay products (13), as well as on the iron plate (1); the findings of actual fabrics of this period are currently unknown to the researchers. Such prints should be considered accidental, and their findings are extremely rare. It is hardly possible to count on further fast filling of this database. Local fabrication is not in doubt. Potentially, the existence of raw materials is evidenced by biological definitions (plants — flax and hemp; animals — sheep / goats) and the existence of the possibility of getting wool (spring scissors). The findings of spindle whorls directly certify the manufacture of threads. According to the imprints of the fibers, the existence of threads of both plant and animal origin was established. In four cases from Radychivske 3, the use of a stronger thread of vegetable origin for the warp and of animal thread for wefting was witnessed. In this way a better wear resistance of the fabric was achieved. The fabrics were plain weave, mostly the simplest, but from Radychivskе 3 comes their more complex type — mat R 4/4. The prevalence of this type should be left in question. A wide range of thread compressibility is indicated. It is from 0.03 to 2.5 mm. However, the thinnest of them probably indicate the wear of the fabric. Accordingly, the tissue density also differed significantly. The imprint with the densest weave — 23 × 23 n./cm2, comes from an iron plate. Probably, accidental prints on ceramics indicate that the potter may have had a rag of coarse cloth under his hands. Twist types (S and Z) are unlikely to reflect technological processes; instead, they may indicate the protective nature of the manufacture of threads. The twist angle (giving strength to the thread), which indicates the use of stronger threads for the warp is more important. Thus, the production of fabrics by the Slavs of the first quarter of the 1st millennium AD on the territory of modern Ukraine should be considered predominantly simple (though not primitive). Craftsmen used different raw materials, knew their benefits and could combine threads in the manufacture of fabric to improve its durability. The same is evidenced by the use of threads with different twisting angles.","PeriodicalId":37391,"journal":{"name":"Arheologia Moldovei","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83079602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The building was found in the investigated area under the embankment of the rampart. It functioned before the construction of the defensive structures of the Great Bilsk hill-fort and was used as a place for the formation of the ash hill after destruction as a result of a fire. The embankment of the rampart was covered by the layers of the settlement from the inside, which continued to function after its construction. The archaeological layers were quite clearly separated, so during the excavations it was possible to get materials from individual stratigraphic horizons. Most of the finds are represented by local handmade pottery. An analysis of the complex of handmade pottery from individual horizons made it possible to give some conclusions about changes of the inhabitants’ pottery of the settlement in a short period of time (the end of the 7th — the first third of the 5th centuries BC). In general, horizons I—IV are characterized by minimal changes in the local ceramic complex. Materials from the cultural deposits of the pre-fortification period and the time of the creation of the fortifications indicate that the pottery traditions of the local population were transformed slowly and the main form of the complex remained stable. It is indicated by the use of slightly profiled pots as cookingware and most of them had an ornament in the shape of a molded roller on the rim or neck, sometimes on the body. Tableware (bowls, ladles) and containers (very large pots) have polished surface and archaic morphological features. There are no forms (jugs, mugs and vessels of small sizes) which are more typical for the Middle Scythian time. Only after the building of fortifications, at the end of the 6th — the first third of the 5th centuries BC (horizon V) more noticeable changes can be traced in the pottery of the population of the Bilsk hill-fort: appearance of cookingware with expressed body profile, disappearance of the ornamentation with molded rollers tradition, the fading of the tradition of polished tableware and containers, disappearance of some groups and the spread of new forms (jugs, mugs and small vessels). Thus, the study of the part of the rampart at the territory of the settlement in the Tsaryna Mohyla tract at the Bilsk hill-fort made it possible to consider a collection of handmade pottery dated from the end of the 7th — the first third of the 5th centuries BC.

It is based on cultural situation associated with the consistent residence in these areas of the population of Przeworsk and Wielbark cultures, as well as the appearance of new polyethnic group such as Kariv in the last quarter of the second century AD. The “Kariv group” is currently represented by a cremation burial ground on the site Kariv-I in the Chervonohrad district of Lviv Oblast, and by single burials sites in Rechychany and Slovita near Lviv in Western Ukraine and by a number of accidental single finds. The community of the “Kariv group” can be characterized as a mix of Przeworsk, Suebian, Western Baltic and possibly Venedian cultural elements. It can be clearly seen both in the nature of how the graves were constructed and in the ritual actions connected with the burial itsel. The existing dating material (fibulae, spurs, drinking horn tips, amphorae, glass and bronze vessels, etc.), most of which comes from the closed complexes of the Kariv site, allows us to determine the chronology of the Kariv group to the second half of the second century CE, or phase B2/C1. Its appearance can be related to the events of the Marcomannic Wars in the Middle Danube region. The wars were attended by various ethnic groups from the territory of the European Barbaricum, including the northern tribes of the Lombards, Chauci and others. As a result of the difficult political and economic conditions, after they were defeated in the war, some members of the barbaric coalition could have left the area near the Danube limes and move to the north to the territory of more peaceful regions of the European Barbaricum. The disappearance or assimilation of the “Kariv group” population chronologically matches the arrival of the Wielbark culture in the Western Buh and Podollian areas.","PeriodicalId":37391,"journal":{"name":"Arheologia Moldovei","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86969983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
