Давньоруське кладовище на Копирівому кінці в м. Києві
Abstract
During work carried out at 24-A Kudriavska Street in Kyiv in 2016, in addition to a large number of various archaeological objects, a part of an ancient Rus cemetery was discovered. Several sections of this cemetery had already been partially studied during excavations in 1989. Within the excavation area, 50 burials were recorded and researched. They can be conditionally divided into two periods. First period — late 10th to 11th century (deep-level burials); these burials were mainly located in the natural soil and lay at depths of up to 2.8 m. Second period — late 11th to 13th century; these burials were found within the cultural layer, and lay at depths of up to 1.9 m. 22 burials belong to the first period, while 28 burials belong to the second period.
