Written sources from the 10 th c. indicate that in Ustrushana iron was worked in Mink province and in the city of Mirasmand. Their location is still debatable and remains a pertinent issue due to their outstanding role in the history of Central Asia and to their involvement in the global events that unfolded in the Near and Middle East at the time of the emergence and spread of Islam. Archaeological investigations in the mountains of Western Ustrushana revealed an entire system of ironworks and specialized settlements. The largest one, Myk (Mug), is a unique complex which consists of two castles and an industrial settlement. The chronology of the materials from the site, and their comparison with the data from written sources of the 9 th—10 th cc., allow identifying Myk mining-and-metallurgical zone with the province of Mink, and the successive castles of Myk with the Afshin's fortress.

The article publishes the materials from the 1956–1957 excavations at Kruglitsa, a Dyakovo-type site on the river Moskva, and substantiates the chronological frame of the site’s existence from the 5 th c. BC to the 3 d (4 th) c. AD. The authors note that the period of intensive activities at the site came to an end in the 1 st–2 nd cc. AD, which is the time when the hoard of bronze ornaments was deposited.

The excavations at a complex from the first half of the 13 th c. at Rostislavl (Moscow oblast') yielded a fragmented pot with an inscription that had been made on the raw clay prior to the baking. The paleographic features of the inscription allow dating it to the end of the 12 th first half of the 13 th c. The inscription is in Cyrillic characters and reads that the pot was a present from someone to a person named Yuri. This is the second find of an Old Russian pot that shows an inscription made before baking, whereas the inscription is the first one that allows a clear reading. The find testifies to the fact of widespread literacy in Rus on the eve of the Mongol invasion.

The site of Repin Khutor in the middle reaches of the Don River has been studied for over half a century. The investigations revealed a specific ceramics style. A.T. Sinyuk defined the specific Repin archaeological culture. Its similarity to the Pit-Grave culture has always been an accepted fact. I.V. Sinitsyn was the fi rst researcher of the site. He assumed that Repin Khutor was a settlement of the Pit-Grave culture. The defi ning of a specific Repin culture raises the question of its chronological relation to the Pit-Grave culture. The materials from Repin Khutor allowed obtaining 10 radiocarbon dates (6 for ceramics and 4 for bone). The sum of the probabilities indicates the interval within XXXIV–XXIX cal. BC (fig. 4). The interval corresponds to the defined chronological time interval of the Pit-Grave culture in the Volga-Urals region. The author assumes that the Repin Khutor culture occupied the forest-steppe area of the Don-Donets region.

“The dress from Izjaslavl” being a unique find of almost an undamaged sewed piece of work took one of the places of honor among real archaeological finds of the Old Russian clothes. The researches done in a modern scientific level revealed that this cloth is not a woman’s dress at all but is likely a man’s kaftan which analogues can be found in a Polovets costume. A new look at the well-known material showed how little we know. This fact also led to an attentive and very accurate reexamination of some facts and allowed to set new tasks in studying of the Old Russian costume.

This work considers the results of the studies cycle in the south part of Vladimir-Suzdal Opolje on the territories not far from the border of Suzdal and Vladimir principalities of the 14 th c., which were to the south of this border. As the result of 2006–2013 field studies, the data about 103 archaeological monuments and locations in the south part of Opolje on the total territory of approximately 105 square meters was gathered. New materials show that the exploration of the south part of Vladimir-Yurjev Opolje by the Old Russian colonists started not later than in the second half of the 10 th c. and was dynamically developing in the 11 th – the beginning of the 12 th c. By the time of Vladimir became the independent volost of Andrej Yurjevich the dense net of village settlements had been there. The net was the part of the common mass of the medieval settlements formed on the territory of the whole Opolje. The organization of the settlement in “Vladimir” part of Opolje was basically close to the structures studied in the surrounding of Suzdal. The organization is the dense net formed by large settlements covering riverside parts and water partings and is of framenet character. The feature of the settlement development in the south part of Opolje is that in the second half of the 13 th–14 th cc. the stable existence of about half of the large settlements here was interrupted. They were completely deserted, moved to new places or decreased significantly. Apparently the decline was connected to the Mongol overthrow and the war events of the second half of the 13 th c. Obviously the war cataclysms and political instability impacted not only on the condition of the capital city but also on the existed agricultural system having broken the stability and steadiness of the village settlements including those which were already formed in the second half of the 10 th–11 th cc.

The article gives a general topographic and stratigraphic overview of the architectural ceramic tiles from the 17 th c. that were found in New Jerusalem monastery in 2009–2011, and gives statistical data and attributions. The assemblage includes hundreds of intact specimens. The tiles were manufactured in the monastery by Russian and Central European craftsmen. Special tiles were made for the Resurrection cathedral, where they were used for the inner and outer walls, the iconostases and the didactic and memorial inscriptions. Dozens of complete tile assemblages for stoves have also been found. They date to the middle of the 17 th – the beginning of the 19 th cc., thus indicating a widespread development of the tile manufacture. Many of the tile types have not been encountered previously (among them the fragment of the ceramic icon of Christ Pantocrator).

At Paikend (modern Uzbekistan) we have investigated most of the residential quarter of the 7 th-8 th cc. The quarter was divided into two equal parts by a main wall. The northern part of the large corner house, as well as the neighboring house, revealed evidence of a strong fire, whereas the other houses in the quarter showed none. Analysis of the pottery from the burnt layers and from the rest of the house allowed concluding that the location actually comprised two complexes dating to different periods. The complex that shows traces of fire dates to the middle third quarter of the 8 th c., whereas the other one belongs to the middle of the 7 th beginning of the 8 th cc. The dates are confirmed by the distribution of coins in the layers. Contrary to previous assumptions, the fire cannot be interpreted as the one that accompanied the seizure of Paikend by the Arabs in 706, since it was of a local nature.

The article gives a typological analysis of the pottery assemblage from Northern Caucasus culture burials, Middle Bronze Age. The study is based on the previously unpublished materials from the Trans-Kuban region. The series of ceramic vessels comprises two main types which are divided into four subtypes. The rare forms which are outside the main classification are considered separately. The circle of analogies and the frequency of occurrence of the types and subtypes of ceramics in combination with other categories of grave goods indicate the chronological priority of type II vessels as compared with type I vessels. The originality of the ceramics from the Northern Caucasus culture in the Trans-Kuban region allows interpreting it as a vivid individual component of the material culture of the population of the Northwestern Caucasus in the first half of the 3 d millennium BC.
