Wooden anthropomorphic finials from mediaeval Novgorod (chronology and topography)
This paper is the first publication of the complete complex of anthropomorphic wooden finials from mediaeval Novgorod with a chronological and a topographical analysis of the finds. Also conditional variants of the representations themselves are considered. An interdisciplinary study demonstrates that this rare category of heathen cult objects was widespread in Novgorod from the 10th to 14th century without any chronological disruption. In terms of topography, the finds are mainly related with buildings that suggests their basic semantics as domestic talismans.
