Рассматриваются 15 погребений курганного могильника Воденниково-1, расположенного на севере Курганской обл. в среднем течении р. Исеть. Памятник интересен для изучения миграционных процессов раннего Средневековья. На основании широких аналогий в материалах синхронных памятников Урало-Сибирского региона комплекс датирован концом VII — VIII в. н.э. Большая часть одиночных и коллективных захоронений совершена по обряду ингумации в прямоугольных могильных ямах с северо-западной ориентировкой покойного, размещением керамики у изголовья, посудой с резной и накольчатой орнаментацией. Данные черты погребального обряда характерны для раннесредневековой бакальской культуры Тоболо-Ишимья и находят параллели среди материалов Перейминского и Усть-Суерского-1 могильников. Вместе с тем на памятнике встречены впускные погребения, а также захоронения в деревянных колодах и гробовищах, западная ориентировка умерших и установка сосудов рядом с могильными ямами. Новации отражают иную традицию, находящую параллели среди погребальных комплексов потчевашской культуры Ишимо-Иртышья, таких как Окунево III, Лихачевский, Викуловское кладбище. Кроме того, отмечены совместное залегание керамики потчевашского и бакальского типов, а также синкретичные кувшинные формы сосудов с мелкогребенчатой и желобчатой орнаментацией. На сегодня могильник Воден-никово-1 является самым западным памятником с материалами потчевашской культуры, позволяющим говорить о переселении части южно-таежного населения Ишимо-Иртышья на Урал.

Archaeological Evidence

We describe 15 burials at the Vodennikovo-1 group of mounds in the northern Kurgan Region, on the Middle Iset River, relevant to migration processes during the Early Middle Ages. On the basis of numerous parallels from contemporaneous sites in the Urals and Western Siberia, the cemetery is dated to the late 7th and 8th centuries. Most of single and collective burials are inhumations in rectangular pits with a northwestern orientation, with vessels, decorated by carved or pricked designs, placed near the heads. These features, typical of the Early Medieval Bakalskaya culture of the Tobol and Ishim basins, are also observed at the Pereyma and Ust-Suerskoye-1 cemeteries in the same area. However, there are innovations such as inlet burials, those in blocks of solid wood and plank coffi ns, western orientation of the deceased, and placing vessels next to the burial pits. These features attest to a different tradition, evidenced by cemeteries of the Potchevash culture in the Tobol and Ishim basins (Okunevo III, Likhacheva, and Vikulovskoye). Also, Potchevash and Bakalskaya vessels co-occur at Vodennikovo-1, and some of them (jugs with comb and grooved designs) are typologically syncretic. To date, this is the westernmost cemetery of the Potchevash culture, suggestive of a migration of part of the southern taiga population from the Ishim and Tobol area to the Urals.

Radiocarbon Dates

The article presents an analysis of 6 radiocarbon dates from the Chumysh-Perekat Necropolis in the south of the Western Siberia. Neolithic burials dated from the VI – first half of the V Millennium BC. Ritual objects on the basis of radiocarbon dates are assigned to the second half of the I Millennium BC. Burials of the Early Middle Ages show a chronological range of the III–VII centuries AD by 2σ (95.4 %) and a narrower period of the V–VII centuries AD by 1σ (68.2 %).

Mineral Wealth

The Lafões territory was subjected to an intense human occupation since Protohistoric times, focused on the exploitatian of its mineral wealth. In the Early Middle Ages it was a kea-area where written and archaeological evidence shows its importance for local Christian populations and to recently-established Galician-Asturian lords. After almost a century of Christian rule, the Lafões region was temporarily back in Muslim hands, only to be finally regained when Viseu and Coimbra were reconquered (in 1058 and 1064, respectively). At that time, the fort that has now been revealed archaeologically on Monte da Senhora do Castelo (Mount of Our Lady of the Castle) in Vouzela would have already a relevant strategic functions.

The article collates the textual and archaeological evidence for Rome’s water-supply in the period c.300-1000. Whilst there is now sufficient archaeological evidence for the rebuilding of the city’s aqueducts after the Gothic Wars, it is clear that the uses to which the water was put in the middle ages were very different from those of Late Antiquity. There was a massive scaling-down of the overall system, with the thermae falling immediately out of use, to be replaced to a certain extent by church baths for the clergy and poor. The Janiculum mills were maintained, and smaller watermills continued to function off the aqueducts, as well as from the Tiber. Baptisteries used both aqueduct and non-aqueduct-supplied water. There was an extensive network of wells and subterranean conduits utilizing ground-water. The system as a whole was organized centrally, by the Church – although the extent of private patronage (wells, smallscale mills and domestic baths) should not be overlooked.

Archaeological Evidence

Many of the nations of Europe have at some time traced their origins to barbarian tribes that settled inside the Roman Empire in the 5th and 6th centuries. In the course of the 19th and 20th centuries the Early Middle Ages were, as a result, manipulated to racist ends. Not surprisingly, scholars who have worked on the period since 1945 have been concerned to undermine earlier interpretations. In this they have been helped by increasing archaeological evidence and by changes in methodology. The current interpretation of the period is one that emphasizes variety – an emphasis which itself reflects present concerns in Europe.

The City

Archaeological evidence and historical texts can be combined to distinguish some of the physical characteristics of Byzantine cities of the 6th c. A.D. They can also be used to define a common conceptual model which Byzantine people of the 6th c. recalled when they pronounced the word polis, either when they were defining an existing settlement or when they were planning a new city. This paper considers in particular four cities that were built anew or completely rebuilt in this time. The survival of the idea of the city in the 6th c. East also appears to be significant in understanding the preservation and renewal of this concept in the West Mediterranean, after the dark centuries of the Early Middle Ages.

AbstractArchaeology, and in particular the study of ceramics, lies at the heart of the interpretive schemes that underpin Framing the Early Middle Ages. While this is to be welcomed, it is proposed that even more extensive use of archaeological evidence - especially that generated through the excavation of prehistoric burial-mounds and rural settlements, as well as the study of early medieval coins - would have produced a rather more dynamic and nuanced picture of the transformations in social and political structures that marked the passage from late Roman Britain to Anglo-Saxon England.
