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.

The article is devoted to the publication of finds of fragments of ceramic dishes discovered at the settlement of Pestryakovo Lake (Zavyalovsky district of Altai Territory). A group of ceramics which belongs to the early Iron Age and the Middle Ages, is pointed out. Single fragments find analogies in the materials of the sites of the Early and Late Bronze Age. The ceramic collection of the Pestryakovo Lake settlement includes groups of ceramics that belong to the Neolithic or Eneolithic. These are fragments of vessels ornamented with prints of a “string”, pricks, imprints of a short comb stamp, a dingle-dingle stamping. Linear-pricked and receding-pricked ceramics are quite informative. On the outer and inner surfaces, as well as in the fractures, traces of burnt-out organic matter (animal hair) are recorded. Such ceramics are widely represented in the south of Western Siberia and are associated with various settlement and burial complexes from the Ob to the Irtysh and various cultural formations of the Neolithic and Eneolithic.

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.

Одно из могущественных племенных объединений древности, аланы, всегда будоражили воображение исследователей. Они оставили значительный след в истории, военном деле, культуре не только в ареале своего формирования – южнорусских степях, но и на территории Европы, в истории и культуре раннего средневековья только зарождающейся западноевропейской цивилизации, куда под мощным натиском хуннов (гуннов) большая часть их была вынуждена мигрировать. Оставшаяся же часть образовала на Северном Кавказе и в Предкавказских степях раннефеодальное государство Алания. Помимо прочего средневековые аланские племена играли в общекавказской и европейской истории значимую роль. Ярким примером этому могут служить мифы и предания о происхождении европейцев. Данная статья является кратким историографическим обзором практически всей существующей источниковедческой литературы, в которой четко прослеживается алано-осетинская преемственность. Исследователи – приверженцы подобного взгляда на проблематику при изучении вопроса опирались на несколько основных маркеров – осетинский язык, уходящий корнями в индо-иранский мир, Нартовский эпос и другие, ярко выраженные элементы духовной культуры осетин. The Alans, one of the most powerful political tribal confederations of the ancient times, have always stirred researchers' imagination. They left a significant mark in history, military arts, and culture not only within their habitat, in the south Russian steppes, but throughout Europe  as well, in history and culture of the emerging civilization of the early Middle Ages where, being under pressure of the Huns, the majority of them was forced to migrate. The remaining part established an early-feudal state Alania in the Northern Caucasus and Ciscaucasian steppes. Among other things medieval Alanian tribes played a vital role in All-Caucasian and European history. Myths and legends on the origin of the Europeans vividly testify to this. This article is a short historiographic review of almost all the existing sources on Alanian-Ossetian succession. The researchers, whose views conform with the opinion of such continuity, ground their approach on several essential points: the Ossetian language that is deeply rooted in the Indo-Iranian world, Narts’ epics and other prominent elements of the Ossetian spiritual culture.

The paper presents the analysis of the natural and climatic conditions of the Early Iron and Middle Ages in the archaeological region of Priketye (Ket’ River region; Verkhneketsky district of the Tomsk Oblast, middle taiga) based on the available archaeological data and spore-and-pollen diagram of Maksimkin Yar, 58°30'N, 86°48'E, 100–150 m.a.s.l. (Blyakharchuk, 2012). The chronology of the archaeological sites and monuments covers a large time span — from the Neolithic to the late Middle Ages, including the time of the arrival of Russian farmers into the area. The aim of the study is to reconstruct the dynamics of the natural environment during the existence of the archaeological cultures of the indicated time interval using paleopalynological data from a nearby spore-and-pollen section, as well as to demonstrate the capabilities and advantages of complex paleoecological-archaeological research in the taiga zone of Western Siberia (middle course of the Ket’ River near the Maksimkin Yar village) previously not covered by such studies. The material and source of the archaeological data com-prised collections and archives of exploratory and stationary excavations of the archaeological sites from the area in the vicinity of the Maksimkin Yar village. Paleopalynological (spore-and-pollen diagram) and paleoecological (botanical composition of peat) data were obtained and published by one of the authors earlier (Blyakharchuk, 2012). In this work, comparative historical and statistical methods of the analysis of archaeological data were employed, along with two paleoecological methods (spore-and-pollen analysis and analysis of the botanical com-position of peat) with respective statistical processing of the numerical data from these analyses. The pa-leoecological block of information is presented graphically in the form of a spore-and-pollen diagram built on the basis of the paleopalynological data and two radiocarbon dates covering the studied time interval. The Bacon software was used to calibrate the radiocarbon dates and to date each sample. The studies have shown that the climate change in the boreal forest zone of Western Siberia influenced the lifestyle and economic activities of the population of the Priketye area. Correlation of the climatic and cultural events of the studied area with neighboring southwestern, southern, and southeastern regions showed their synchroneity with the dynamics of the hydrocli-mate on these territories. During the Iron Age and after the end of the late Middle Ages, there was a synchronous increase in humidity, both in the steppe zone and in the forest zone. In the Bronze Age and during the high Middle Ages, the steppe zone was humid, but less atmospheric precipitation fell out in the forest zone. These fluctuations in the moisture content are well correlated with the 500–600-year hydrological cycles in the steppe zone, identi-fied by geochemical indicators of the steppe Shira Lake in Khakassia (Kalugin et al., 2013, p. 251). Changes in the hydroclimatic conditions in the forest and steppe zones had different effects on the local cultures and could stimulate either their rise or decline, as well as migrations.

The article deals with several law codes of the early Middle Ages, namely the Law of Frisians, the Law of Saxons and the Law of Thuringians. The article basing on these juridical texts illustrates, that despite of the military pressure and the violent christianization of the Frankish conquerors in the 6th — 9th centuries in the Rhine bassin, tribal laws fixed in the reign of Charlemagne (768—814) continued to rely on the North Germanic languages, traditions of trial, social ranks and system of punishments. At the same time, the paper contains an analysis of the Frankish impact on the legal space and trial of the North Germans as well as of the direct and indirect influence of the South Germans (Allemanni, Bavarians), of the Langobards and of the Anglo-Saxons.

Introduction. In the Early Middle Ages, Crimea was in the sphere of influence of the Eastern Roman Empire. In the material culture of the Early Medieval population of Crimea imprinted with archaeological monuments “Byzantine components” are quite clearly visible. The group of jewellery that clearly demonstrates the Byzantine influence includes bronze finger rings with the image of Archangel Michael originating from the GothoAlanian burial grounds of the South-Western Crimea and from the necropoleis of the Kerch Peninsula. The article substantiates the attribution and dating of the finger rings, reveals a circle of analogies, interprets the meaning of the images, and also considers the peculiarities of wearing this type of jewellery. Methods. The author determines dating of the Crimean findings by the accompanying inventory in the graves. The paper reveals a circle of analogies for the attribution of the finger rings, analyzes findings from the territory of the Eastern Roman Empire and from areas with political and economic ties. Analysis. In the late 6th – 7th centuries bronze finger rings with the image of Archangel Michael imported from Byzantium and produced in local workshops on imported samples were popular in Crimea. The signet ring of variant A of the late 6th – the first quarter of the 7th cc. with a profile portrait of the Archangel and the monogram of his name, undoubtedly, refers to Byzantine products brought from Asia Minor. The two finger rings of variant B engraved with the face and the almost full-length figure of the Archangel were made by Bosporan artisans in the 7th century on the Byzantine samples. The finger rings from Crimea depicting the Archangel belonged to young women who had a high social status. They were worn on hands, as a rule, on the right forefinger and in breast necklaces that connected fibulae. Christian symbols and plots placed on signet rings, in the view of the ancient Christians, should have given the jewellery the properties of an amulet which protected the person wearing it from all sorts of troubles. Results. The presented finger rings depicting Archangel Michael are an important source for studying the early stage of the history of Christianity in the South-Western Crimea and the Bosporus. Findings of this kind testify to the unity of culture in the Christian world and are a good example of close economic and cultural ties between the region and the Byzantine Empire in the Early Middle Ages. Key words: South-Western Crimea, Bosporus, Crimean Goths, Byzantine jewellery, finger rings, amulets, Archangel Michael.
