The Lyudin end streets in Medieval Novgorod: tasks, issues and methodology of studies

The paper is devoted to three streets of medieval Novgorod - ProboynayaStreet, Yarysheva Street, and Chernitsyna Street explored during multi-year archaeological excavations in the Troitsky excavation trench. As the alignments of these streets wereexcavated in various excavation trenches, the top priority of the study was to determinethe sequence of construction horizons reflecting planigraphy and chronology of timberpavements made over a long timeline starting from the 930-s to the middle of the 15th century. The study builds on comprehensive analysis of stratigraphic and dendrochronologicdata used as a basis for conclusions on construction and development of the Lyudin Endroad network in medieval Novgorod.
