Research on the Stilsko settlement (Mykolaiiv district, Lviv region) was interrupted at the end of the 20th century due to a lack of funds. Gradually, around this important monument started to accumulate insufficiently substantiated hypotheses and fabrications, which were transformed into stereotypes. In particular, this concerns statements about the capital of White Croatia, cave pre-Christian temples and cave monasteries, a system of locks on the river Kolodnytsia. The author analyzed the discussion in European science about Great Croatia in Ukrainian Prykarpattia and the localization of White Croatia. Attention is drawn to the attempts of Polish historiography to prove that this region belonged only to the Lendians, as well as to the development of the latest discussion on Croatian ethnogenesis. Based on this analysis, it is stated that White Croatia was located on the Upper Vistula, Upper Oder, Saale, and White Elster, and Stolsko (Stilsko) in the 10th century was built as the center of the Croatian principality, which was formed, probably after poborani joined western zhytychi-trebovliany. The fortifications remained unfinished and were obtained by the Kyivan army in 992/993. No grounds for claiming the existence of cave temples, especially in the Austrian fortifications built in the early 20th century, were found, and hypotheses about their existence were found baseless, as well as the existence of locks, which were unnecessary on the river Kolodnytsia. However, the mysteries of Stilsko are only started because a certain source (the notebook of Metropolitan Theognostus) noted the existence of Stilsko, which paid 30 hryvnias to the metropolitan treasury around 1331. During the struggle for the Romanov heritage in 1370-1377 not revived as an urban settlement. The article states that its localization remains the main task for further research. Keywords: Stilsko, Great Croatia, White Croatia, cave temples, sluices, Feognost.

The article reviews O. A. Shashkova’s ‘... Call the Mute Artifacts to Speech.’ Essays on the History of Archaeography of the 15th - Early 20th Century. Wide array of sources and broad geographical frameworks allow Shashkova to present emergence and development of Russian and European archaeography from the 15th to early 20th century intelligibly enough for educational purposes. A whole chapter is devoted to the manuscript tradition and publishing of sources before Gutenberg. When considering the formation of archaeographical tradition, the author uses comparative method. O. A. Shashkova offers a historical overview and analyzes theoretical and practical issues of archaeography. The reviewer notes the significance of the chosen topic due to a need to reconsider the development of publishing in light of modern views on archaeography and to make it accessible to students and non-professionals. She notes traditional academic approach of O. A. Shashkova to presentation of the development publication practices. The review considers the possibility of using the ‘Essays...’ in studying the history of archaeography and offers possible directions for a broader consideration of historical experience, in particular, of Novikov’s publication projects. The review notes the controversial nature of the author’s approach to systematization of her large historical material in order to consider issues concerning the study of archaeographical practices. It stresses that coverage of issues of development of methods of preparation of publications separately from its historical and practical aspects hinders successful mastering of the material by an untrained reader. It concludes that the publication has high practical value for specialists in archaeography and students.
