Л. Р. Кызласовым в 1971 1981 гг. в Хакасии на Среднем Енисее были обнаружены и изучались раскопками два раннесредневековых городских центра, отличавшихся монументальными манихейскими храмами, святилищами и монастырями VIII XIII вв. Особый интерес представляет скопление сакральных построек в Уйбатском городе, расположенном в стороне от рек, размещение и планировочная обособленность храмово монастырского квартала от жилых и производственных частей геометрически правильно спроектированного города, возникшего благодаря сакральному комплексу. Этот городской и монастырско храмовый центр, согласно археологическому исследованию, существовал не менее 400 лет. И все это время вокруг него и рядом с ним развивалась храмовая и городская культура южносибирского общества. In 1971 1981 L. R. Kyzlasov discovered two early medieval urban centers on the Middle Yenisei in Khakassia. He excavated these sites and examined monumental Manichaean temples, sanctuaries and monasteries of the 8th 13th centuries. Of special interest is a concentration of sacral constructions in the Uybat town located at a distance from rivers (Figs. 1 3), and the location of the temple and the monastery quarter and its layout which made it isolated from the residential and production areas (Fig. 3) of the geometrically regular town (Figs. 4 5) built around the sacral ensemble. The archaeological excavations demonstrate that this town and the monastery temple center existed for at least 400 years, with the temple and the urban culture of the southern Siberian community developing around and near it.

This chapter examines the pattern of arrangement of the buildings in ancient Sogdian towns. Recent archaeological excavations that identified the territorial units Paikend has made it possible to determine that early medieval towns in Sogdiana were not laid out like Greek cities or fortified Roman camps, but had a plan of separate quarters. The findings reveal that the streets in the towns served the purpose of linking different parts of the town and at the same time dividing it into separate quarters.

During the two seasons of rescue archaeological excavations at the hillfort site of Brekinjova Kosa, the remains of an Early Medieval structure (probably a church) and Early Medieval burials containing rich grave goods were recorded. The most remarkable feature is a rich burial within the structure (grave 4) whose grave goods put it among the richest Early Medieval graves so far excavated on the territory of modern-day Croatia. Apart from the finds within the graves themselves, a certain amount of Early Medieval pottery shards were recorded at the site. The area surrounding the site is mostly archaeologically unresearched and today sparsely populated, but this type of find bears witness to its importance in the Early Middle Ages.

The article presents the Bohemian coins discovered during the archaeological excavations at two Early Medieval cemeteries. At the location Bodzia, 58 graves dating to the 10th–11th centuries have been discovered. In 24 of them, 12 complete coins and 55 coin fragments have been found. Three of these coins were classified as Bohemian: one complete denier and one denier fragment produced under Boleslaus II and one fragment of denier struck under Boleslaus III. At the location Dziekanowice (10th–13th centuries), some 30 complete coins and 87 coin fragments have been discovered after examination of 1,665 graves. The Bohemian coins there were represented by five fragments. Some of them were too small for precise attribution. Hypothetically, they could be classified as deniers produced under Vladivoj I, Jaromír I, Břetislaus I, Spytihněv II and Vratislaus II. In Poland, 3,840 Bohemian and Moravian coins of the 10th–11th centuries have been registered in total, which represents only 1.5 % of all Early Medieval coins found in the Polish territory.
