Novgorod: Archaeology of a Medieval Russian City... (British Museum Research Publication)

By Mark Brisbane

The attached papers cover the results of a programme of collaboration between Russian and Western European researchers on the archaeology of the medieval Russian city and Hanseatic trading post which, in addition to its size, is famous for the unique preservation of organic and inorganic materials, including streets and buildings. Among the organic artefacts are exmples of birch-bark letters, which indicate widespread literacy amongst the secular inhabitants of the city. The papers cover all aspects of recent research into buildings, properties, artefacts and paleo-environmental remains.
