In recent years the use of various physical and chemical methods to identifythe chemical composition of specific components that archaeological artifacts are madeof has become an important and relevant inter-disciplinary area, making it possiblenot only to identify the material but to a certain degree also reconstruct the productionprocess. The studied artifact is a unique composite item discovered in a grave of the LatePozdnyakovo culture in the Ryazan Region. The item, which dates to the second quarterof 2nd mill. BC, is made of birch bark, cloth and a top piece made of dark brown materialof unknown origin inlaid with gromwell (Lithospеrmum) seeds. The research was aimedto determine the components and the material the top piece was made of with subsequentreconstruction of the entire item, if possible. Gas chromatography, X-ray fluorescenceanalysis and microscopy methods were used for this purpose. Based on the results of theresearch, it was concluded that the top piece of the object is clay mixed with animal fat,most likely, tallow. The artifact is reconstructed as a birch bark box covered with plaincloth, with unbaked clay mixed with tallow having been placed on the top, which was theninlaid with Lithospеrmum seeds.
