V. Bolsunovskyi there are two letters from K. K. Kościuszko-Waluszyński, dated by 1902. The author of these letters, Karol Kościuszko-Waluszyński, from 1888 had been heading the Museum in Chersonesus and conducted excavations of this ancient city. The recipient of these letters, Karl Bolsunovskyi, was a well-known numismatist-expert, ancient coins connoisseur. K. K. Kościuszko-Waluszyński and K. V. Bolsunovskyi not only corresponded, but were also personally acquainted. This is evidenced by the lines of the letter of K. K. Kościuszko-Waluszyński dated by September 12, 1902. K. V. Bolsunovskyi could have met K. K. Kościuszko-Waluszyński during one of his visits to the museum in Chersonesus. The novelty and relevance of the research lies in the study of professional and personal contacts of the representatives of Kyiv scientific elite K. V. Bolsunovskyi and B. I. Khanenko with the Crimean researcher K. K. Kościuszko-Waluszyński on the field of archaeology and numismatics. These documents contain information about individual aspects of the activities of the Chersonesus museum, as well as about personal contacts of Kyiv and Crimean scholars that had taken place at the beginning of the 20th century. The letters contain references to the organization of the museum's territory, the creation of a project for a new museum building and the organization of excavations at the end of 1902 — the beginning of 1903. For instance, in a letter to K. V. Bolsunovskyi, dated by September 12, 1902, K. K. Kościuszko-Waluszyński mentioned plans to build a new museum building, choosing a construction site, carrying out measurements on the site, drawing up plans for the future museum and an estimate of its construction. These letters also characterise K. K. Kościuszko-Waluszyński as an energetic, inquisitive, benevolent and hospitable person, a conscientious researcher and museum officer, who sought to establish contacts with Kyiv scholars in order to identify analogies to the finds from Chersonesus, exchange professional literature and attribution of the discovered finds.","PeriodicalId":52785,"journal":{"name":"Arkheologiia","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135098687","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 studied jewellery is typical for the hoards of Martynivka circle (group II, subgroup 1). It is represented by four burial complexes and one hoard. Dmytriivka cemetery was investigated by S. Pletneva. Two trapezoidal pendants ornamented with punched rows of dots on the edge from catacombs no. 151 and no. 154 (fig. 1A: 1). Items from the Khatskivskyi hoard, the Kovrai locality, and three finds from the Luchistoye burial ground are known with such an ornamentation system. In general, such pendants can be dated by the 5th—7th centuries (fig. 1). Sukha Homilsha cemetery 1 was investigated by V. Mikheev. Burial no. 54 contained a vorvorka (fig. 2). Burial date: late 8th—early 9th centuries. Analogies in size are presented in several hoards, in ornamentation — from the settlement of Kryvets 4. In general, these items are typical for the hoards of Martynivka circle, the second half of the 6th— the middle third quarter of the 7th centuries. Bochkove cemetery has been studied by O. Laptev since 2014. Grave no. 2 (fig. 3; 4) contained two trapezoidal pendants ornamented with four spherical protrusions and two rows of pressed dots along the edge (fig. 5; 6). Similar pendants are associated with the Penkivka monuments and hoards of the Martynivka circle. Myrna Dolyna hoard discovered in 2019. The complex includes: 1) blacksmith tools and several iron items (fig. 7: 1—11); 2) four screams (fig. 7: 12—15); 3) fragments of a bronze cauldron and a pair of phaleras (fig. 8); 4) heraldic belt decorations, including matrices and semi-finished products (fig. 9; 10); 5) Roman coins (fig. 11). Only six heraldic decorations (fig. 9: 1-3; 10: 1—3) are known among Slavic antiquities at the level of broad analogies. All the considered sites of the Saltiv culture with finds of jewellery from the Martynivka circle are concentrated in the Siverskyi Donets basin. Both individual finds and treasures are known here. In the upper reaches of the river, monuments of the Kolochyn culture are known, and below — of the Penkivka culture. The chronology of the complexes of the Dmytriivka cemetery and the Myrna Dolyna hoard can be determined within the general framework of the existence of culture. However, the chronology of burial no. 54 of the Sukha Homilsha-1, burial no. 2 of the Bochkove cemetery and the chronology of the Martynivka circle decorations differ by almost a century (table 1). Consequently, such adornments could be found by the inhabitants of the Khazar Khaganate and reused in everyday life or attire.","PeriodicalId":52785,"journal":{"name":"Arkheologiia","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135098849","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}

{"title":"Female Burial of Cherniakhiv Culture with a Red Slip Jar of Provincial Roman Production from the Shyshaky Cemetery","authors":"R. M. Reida, A. V. Heiko, S. V. Sapiehin","doi":"10.15407/arheologia2023.03.072","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15407/arheologia2023.03.072","url":null,"abstract":"The article is devoted to the publication of materials from the burial no. 88 discovered at Shyshaky cemetery of the Cherniakhiv culture. It consisted of the inhumation of a woman (20—25 years old), who was oriented with her head to the north and was lying in a subrectangular pit with rounded corners (fig. 1—2). Among almost all the burials (more than 150) in the Shyshaky necropolis, this grave was distinguished by the largest number of accompanying material. First of all, there were a lot of wheel-made pottery (11 items) (fig. 3—4). Among the latter there were: bowls shaped like vases (2 items), a two-handled jar, a bowl shaped like a drinking vessel, pots (3 items), bowls (2 items), an ornamented cup and an imported antique one-handled jar (fig. 3: 6). Fragments (7 items) of brown pebbles and the bowl where they were found should be associated with ritual rites. Beads made of carnelian (8 items) (fig. 6: 56—63), glass (21 item) (fig. 6: 35—55), coral (33 items) (fig. 6: 1—33) and amber (1 item) (fig. 6: 34) were found in the upper part of the woman’s chest. In the burial there were also two fibulae (fig. 5: 1—2) and a belt buckle (fig. 5: 3) made of white metal, a horn comb (fig. 5: 10), a bone needle case (fig. 5: 4), a bronze knife (fig. 5: 5), as well as a spindle (fig. 4: 1) whorl with a sharp edge made on a potter’s wheel, fragments of iron parts of a knife (fig. 5: 8—9) and probably the remains of a casket casing (fig. 5: 6—7). Next to the pelvic bones of the skeleton on the left there were the bones and jaws of cattle, probably accompanying food. An interesting discovery in the burial no. 88 is a bone needle case (fig. 5: 4) and a miniature knife (fig. 5: 5) made of a copper alloy, the analogies of which are often found in female burials at the Shyshaky necropolis. Such knives are oriented in the northern direction. Similar sets (a bone needle case, a needle and sometimes an awl or a small knife) for sewing and clothing or shoes repairing are typical for the burial monuments of the Cherniakhiv — Sântana de Mureș cultures. Part of the pottery from the burial no. 88 is associated with beliefs in an afterlife feast. A bowl (fig. 3: 1), a cup (fig. 3: 2), a two-handled and a one-handled jars (fig. 3: 4, 6) were used for this purpose. It is also interesting that although an imported glass cup was not found in this burial, imported pottery used for drinking alcohol was put into the grave. The one-handled red slip jar (fig. 3: 6) of provincial Roman production is also quite rare for burials of the Cherniakhiv culture and unique for the Dnipro Forest-Steppe Left Bank territory. Chronological indicators such as a fibula, a buckle and a horn comb found in the burial no. 88 make it possible to date it back to the last quarter of the 4th century. A significant number of beads, accompanying food can indicate the Sarmatian (Alan) tradition.","PeriodicalId":52785,"journal":{"name":"Arkheologiia","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135098686","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 particular, the reconstruction of the process of manufacturing of three-handed gray-ware jars which were mass-produced at the settlement is carried out. They were constructed from separately manufactured parts: body, neck, handles and spout. At the same time, in some cases, handles and knob-shaped decorative elements were attached to already dried and even decorated vessels. The presence of different types of the same structural parts, decorative elements and their technical solutions indicates that the jars were not made by one craftsman, but by a group of craftsmen who had different skills and tastes. The fact that the vessels of different masters were found in a complex associated with one particular kiln indicates that it was used simultaneously by a group of potters. For other technological groups (hand-built pottery, amphorae and fragments with individual technological features), it was possible to reliably determine only the composition of the paste. It was found out that the hand-built pottery at the settlement are represented by five recipes, of which at least three can be associated with the Penkivska culture, which surrounded Balka Kantserka. Fragments of amphorae are characterised by a natural admixture that made up to 1/5 of limestone and about 1/7 of sand. As for the recipes represented by individual fragments, it is difficult to interpret them for sure at the moment. The fact that the ceramic complex obtained by the excavations does not contain physically or archaeologically complete vessels, currently makes it difficult to quantify the types of structural elements of the vessels and their decoration, which would allow judging the possible number of potters who used the kiln.","PeriodicalId":52785,"journal":{"name":"Arkheologiia","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135098685","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}

It was 150 m to the west from the defensive line of the Okolny Grad and this made it possible to study this part of the city and trace its development in different chronological horizons. At the end of the 10th — at the beginning of the 11th centuries this place was used as a barrow and soil burial ground. At the end of the 11th century there emerged manor buildings directly near the fortifications, which could have been destroyed in 1094. At this time three residential buildings were registered. The boundaries of estates in the shape of ditches from fences appeared at this stage and had the same borders for all time periods. In the first half of the 12th century new buildings were erected, which could also have been destroyed in the fire in 1152. A clay oven was discovered in one of the houses, where the plinth was used as a structural element during its construction. Fragments of the plinth were also found in other buildings. The parameters of such a plinth are similar to the plinth of the Illinska Church on the Boldyni Hory near the entrance to the caves. A similar plinth is found in the masonry of the Saints Borys and Hlib Cathedral. In the second half of the 12th — the first half of the 13th centuries increased the number of houses and household building. At one of them a processed elk horns were found, that can indicate a bone-cutting workshop. During all chronological periods manor buildings were fixed, but houses, household buildings and fences were always oriented by walls on the sides of the world. Constructions of the first half of the 13th century could have disappeared as a result of a fire during military operations in 1234—1235 or after the Mongol invasion. After the cessation of life in this part of the city, a cemetery appeared on the territory of the former estates, the burials of which were arranged in the pits of houses of the first half of the 13th century. The cemetery could function even after the Mongol invasion. The density of buildings and the presence of burials from different time periods attest to the intensive use of this part of the Suburbs of Chernihiv during Old Rus period.","PeriodicalId":52785,"journal":{"name":"Arkheologiia","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135098684","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}

Myronenko","doi":"10.15407/arheologia2023.03.045","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15407/arheologia2023.03.045","url":null,"abstract":"The focus of the study is Byzantine pottery together with its archaeological context from the excavations of Bilhorod (Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, Odesa Oblast, Ukraine), led by L. D. Dmitrov in 1945, 1947, 1949, 1950, and A. I. Furmanska in 1953, which is kept in the Scientific Repository of the Institute of Archaeology of the NAS of Ukraine. First of all, the authors concentrated on the analysis of the stratigraphic data at the excavation site and the chronology of its cultural layers and building horizons, from which the ceramic material originates. An analysis of the numismatic finds showed the existence of residential buildings in the studied area from the end of the 13th century until about the middle of the 15th century. The latest date is particularly interesting, because it was previously thought that the quarter ceased to exist at the beginning of the 15th century. Then, based on the visually detectable features of the raw materials, there were identified five technological groups of earthenware pottery in the Byzantine imported ceramics from these excavations and specified their chronological position, area of distribution, and possible localisation of their workshops. The first of them is similar to the Novy Svet (NS) group (fig. 3). It belongs to the heterogenous SCC (Sgraffito with Concentric Circles) stylistic family. The peak of the spread of such pottery in the Northern Black Sea region was between the last third of the 13th — the beginning of the 14th century. Such ceramics were produced in many workshops of the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, but the origin of the NS group has not been clarified yet. The second group of tableware morphologically and stylistically quite varied (fig. 4; 5: 5—9; 6: 1—8, 11; 7; 8: 1—3). It probably originated from the pottery centres that functioned for a long time, at least from the late 13th to the mid-15th century. Some of decorative series (SCC, with 8-shaped figures, monograms, with thin strips of dark green painting and others) can be used as chronological indicators for different periods of time between late 13th to the mid-15th centuries. The results of archaeometrical study are introduced at least for some of the stylistic series that allowed associating its origin, with the ceramic workshops of Constantinople the remains of which were found in the Sirkeci neighborhood in the Eminönü quarter of the Fatih district in Istanbul, Turkey. All the mentioned above was the most interesting, because it provided data for clarifying both the chronology of the activity of these workshops and the different types of its wares in future perspectives. The ceramics of the third (the EIW stylistic family), and the fifth (kitchen glazed ware) groups (fig. 5: 1—4 and 8: 5) had also a precise chronology and so could be used as indicators for dating the archaeological contexts within the second half of the 14th — the beginning of the 15th century and the end of the 13th — the second third of the 14th century respec","PeriodicalId":52785,"journal":{"name":"Arkheologiia","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135098688","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}
