Material culture of the north part of the Novgorod (Rurik) Gorodische prior to the erection of the church of the Annunciation (as seen in the 2016/2017 archaeological data)
During the architectural and archaeological research at the church of the Annunciation at Gorodische in 2016-2017, some undisturbed cultural strata dating back to the early history of the Novgorod (Rurik) Gorodische were explored. Three stoves and a production facility were discovered, as well as a large collection of imported goods, projectile weapons and numismatic materials. This information allows us to make some conclusions concerning the material culture of the northern part of a military and administrative center that Gorodische had been before the building of the church in 1103.
