The article focuses on the results of the archeological study, conducted on the ruins of the Fort 4, located in the territory of the medieval settlement Pirmeshki. The work was carried out in the context of the research of the fortification system Dag-bary, which had been a part of the Derbent defensive complex, erected during the reign of shahanshah Khosrov II Anushirvan (531-579) in the late 560s’. Judging by the remains of the walls, the fort had the internal dimensions of around 13,9 by 22,5 m with a wall thickness of 2 m. These parameters are very similar to the fort dimensions of the Mountain wall, which have better preserved. The revealed remains of the walls have the same constructive features as other fortifications of the Derbent defensive complex – double-shelled masonry of slabs of the same type, laid on wide and narrow sides without mortar, with backfilling of lime mortar. The complex of ceramic ware, presented in the cultural layers of the dig, belongs to the X – early XIII c. It can be assumed that the settlement and the forts in it ceased to exist in the period of the Mongol invasion to Dagestan, namely during the campaign of Jebe and Subutai in 1222, following the campaign of Bukdai in 1239. The data from written sources, and, mainly, Adam Olearius’ information, who visited Derbent in 1638, testifies to the destruction of numerous strongholds of the Mountain wall by the XVII c.

Bird hunting as a type of economic activity of the Russian population in the 17th—18th centuries is analyzed on the basis of archeozoological collections and complexes from the cultural layers of rural sites. The composition and ratio of different types of commercial birds, methods of passive and active hunting are determined. The results obtained are compared with written sources of the 19 th century and archaeological materials from other regions. As part of the inventory of archaeological sites, in addition to the bow and arrowheads, a set of clay balls of different sizes and weights was identified, which were used as projectiles for slingshot in hunting flocking birds.

Results of rescuing archeological researches carried out by the expedition of SRC “Rescuing archaeological service” of IA of NAS of Ukraine led by N. Voitovych on the territory of building of private medical centre are presented at the article. During field season of 2013 archeological researches in Pidmurna Street, 5 were focused on the southern part of examined locality, where trench 2 with an area of 26.2 м² was dug. Through archeological researches remains of the foundation of Austrian building was discovered and also part of interior of basement (stone pavement) was found. In addition, wooden construction of residential use was discovered. It was destroyed in a fire in the second half of XVII century. A significant amount of mobile material in a good taphonomic condition was recorded in the infill of the building. It consisted of ceramic, glass and metal ware, tiles, metal products (stirrups, coins, crossbow arrowhead). At the southern wall of the trench, a cluster of wood was discovered, which served as a strengthening of the slope to prevent falling. The last one can be dated back to XVII–XVIII centuries. Another wooden construction was found in the cultural layers of XV–XVI centuries. It was also discovered anthropogenic layers that can be dated back from VIII century B.C. to XVIII–XIX centuries A. D. inclusively. Archaeological material, dated back from VIII century B.C. to XVIII century A. D. inclusively was found in the trench. It is established that the bedrock was found on the depth of 4.3–4.9 m, with a decrease to the north-eastern direction. A significant amount of mobile material was collected. The largest number of finds is represented by artifacts from Late Middle Ages (ceramic, glass and wooden ware, building ceramics, leather footwear, products made of metal), which indicates that population of the former Old Rus' suburbs not finished after the capture of Lviv by Kazimierz III and relocation of the city inside the walls, but on the contrary – obtained a new momentum to its further development, this time as a Krakow suburb of Lviv. Key words: Lviv, Pidmurna Street, archeological researches, wooden construction, ceramic ware, leather footwear, metal products.

The Difference

The paper presents the test results of lime mortar compressive strength in the joints of brick walls. The tests were carried out with the Double Punch Test (DPT) method and with the use of an impact penetrometer (penetrometric test PT) on original samples taken from the structure of a building erected in the 1880s. The obtained results have shown that the predictions of the mortar compressive strength using both methods were very consistent (the difference 6%). The penetrometric method also made it possible to assess the homogeneity of the mortar in the direction of the wall thickness.

The relations of the Ukrainian medieval lands with the state of the Teutonic Order in Prussia left the relics in the documentary sources of the second half of the XIII century – beginning of the XVI century. However, the relations of the Ukrainian medieval lands with the State of the Teutonic Order in Prussia should have been left not only in written sources. Similar relations, even if they were occasional, left a sufficient number of numismatic sources in the cultural layers of the settlements. In this case, we have the Teutonic coins, lost by their owners.

Type 3

The thirteenth and fourteenth century Christian burials in the the south-western Crimea and Sudak contained the fragments of wheel-made vessels and building ceramic ware showing the graffiti drawn on baked clay in the form of a simple cross (type 1), a cross with two-line formula “IC XC NIKA” (type 2) inscribed between the arms, or the formula “IC XC NIKA” written in one line (type 3). These graffiti were applied to ceramic shards specifically for burials; the finds of this kind are not known in cultural layers of the settlements. The graffiti of type 1 replaced underwear crosses worn during the human’s life and served as apotropaic amulets for the dead. In the graves, they were placed under the lower jaw, at the neck or head of the deceased person. The formula “IC XC NIKA” is a partially abbreviated form of the Greek “Ἰησοῦς Χριστòς νίκα” (“Jesus Christ, conquer”) or “ Ἰησοῦς Χριστòς νίκᾷ” (“Jesus Christ conquers”). It is accepted that this formula first appeared in 720 on the coins of Leo III and his son Constantine IV and proclaimed the victory of the Byzantines over the Arabs under the protection of Christ and His Cross. Later on, imperial connotations of triumph and victory gave way to a more modest prayer for help and protection from the forces of evil. In the Crimea, the formula “IC XC NIKA” occurred from the late eighth century in building inscriptions, on architectural details, tombstones, and individual worship objects. From the thirteenth century on, the formula “IC XC NIKA” combined with a cross or independently appeared in burials: on slabs placed vertically at the eastern end of the grave so that the face of the deceased was turned to the image, or on ceramic shards that covered the mouth or neck of the deceased. The artefacts featuring this image were placed mainly in the burials of untimely departed persons: children, teenagers, or those who suffered from serious illnesses during their lifetime. The rite of placing ceramic fragments with Christian graffiti into burials for protection and scaring away evil spirits is documented in the Crimea in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, though in Byzantium it appeared from the tenth century on.

A significant collection of ceramic wares excavated at the ancient town of Solkhat in 1925–1928 under the supervision of A. S. Bashkirov, U. A. Bodaninskii, and I. N. Borozdin is lost. In 2017, the Central Museum of Tavrida organized a temporary exhibition entitled The Crimea in the Golden Horde Period. The Crimean Yurt of the Golden Horde: The Legacy of the Vanished Empire, particularly presenting the materials originating from the excavations at the ancient town of Solkhat. Among other artefacts, there were three ceramic items of the origin still not quite clear. Probably these items belonged to the collection originating from the 1920s–1930s excavations, since they were transferred to the museum collection in the Post-War Period in result of liquidation of some museum in Staryi Krym. In total, the collection in question contains 343 items in fragments or archaeologically complete forms. The collection is rather quite comprising 240 imported items. This publication presents about 50 fragments of glazed ceramic ware: table ware is the most numerous category (99.4%). A significant part of the imported ware in this collection suggests that it originated from the excavations of either a caravanserai or the architectural and archaeological complex of the madrasah-mosque of Khan Uzbek. It is also supported by fragmentary records in U. Bodaninskii’s 1928 journals. According to the primary analysis of the collection and analysis of written sources on the history of archaeological researches of Solkhat in the 1920s, there are reasons to suppose that the museum materials in question are related to the archaeological excavations by the All-Union Association for Oriental Studies and the Bakhchisarai Museum of Turkic-Tatar Culture in Staryi Krym. Perhaps following the repressions against the participants and leaders of 1925–1928archaeological researches, the museum depository in Staryi Krym was liquidated and its materials were transferred to the Central Museum of Taurida.

SummaryThis prospective study assessed myocardial viability in 30 patients with coronary heart disease and persistent defects despite reinjection on TI-201 single-photon computed tomography (SPECT). In each patient, three observers graded TI-201 uptake in 7 left ventricular wall segments. Gradient-echo magnetic resonance imaging in the region of the persistent defect generated 12 to 16 short axis views representing a cardiac cycle. A total of 120 segments were analyzed. Mean end-diastolic wall thickness and systolic wall thickening (± SD) was 11.5 ± 2.7 mm and 5.8 ± 3.9 mm in 48 segments with normal TI-201 uptake, 10.1 ± 3.4 mm and 3.7 ± 3.1 mm in 31 with reversible lesions, 11.3 ± 2.8 mm and 3.3 ± 1.9 mm in 10 with mild persistent defects, 9.2 ± 2.9 mm and 3.2 ±2.2 mm in 15 with moderate persistent defects, 5.8 ± 1.7 mm and 1.3 ± 1.4 mm in 16 with severe persistent defects, respectively. Significant differences in mean end-diastolic wall thickness (p <0.0005) and systolic wall thickening (p <0.005) were found only between segments with severe persistent defects and all other groups, but not among the other groups. On follow-up in 11 patients after revascularization, 6 segments with mild-to-moderate persistent defects showed improvement in mean systolic wall thickening that was not seen in 6 other segments with severe persistent defects. These data indicate that most myocardial segments with mild and moderate persistent TI-201 defects after reinjection still contain viable tissue. Segments with severe persistent defects, however, represent predominantly nonviable myocardium without contractile function.
