The Zhitny excavation trench in the Kremlin of Pereyaslavl Ryazansky: research results

The multi-year research of the Zhitny excavation trench in the Kremlin of Pereyaslavl Ryazansky (present-day Ryazan) has provided an opportunity to describe the history of the city development, although within a small area. The thickness of the occupation layers excavated in the trench is more than six meters. Ten stratigraphic horizons covering the period from the second half of the 12th century to the mid-17th century have been identified. The collection of artifacts consists of more than 5,000 individual finds and more than 400,000 fragments of ceramics.
