Mysteries of a Destroyed Settlement: The First Human Genome from the Dyakovo Settlement of Shcherbinka
In the 1960s, a full-scale expedition of the Institute of Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IA RAS) excavated the entire inhabited area of the Shcherbinka hillfort in the Moscow region, the typical site of the Dyakovo archaeological culture. In 2022, the site was partially damaged by unauthorised construction activity, prompting emergency rescue excavations by IA RAS. Work on the slopes and natural terraces of the hillfort, areas ra…
Identification of Ancient Pathogens: Streptococcus pneumoniae in DNA Samples from Four Burials of the Volosovo-Danilovsky Burial Ground of the Fatyanovo Culture
This article advances a series of publications dedicated to the paleogenetic study of individuals from the Fatyanovo culture. Whole-genome sequencing of new samples from the Volosovo-Danilovsky burial ground in the Yaroslavl region of European Russia, along with rigorous bioinformatics analysis, has unequivocally demonstrated a significant genetic affinity between these individuals and the Bronze Age populations of the Czech Republic, Germany, an…
Tireless wayfarer… To the 75th anniversary of A.A. Maslennikov
Archaeogenomics of humans from the layer of the Upper Volga Culture revealed their greatest genetic similarity with Eastern European hunter-gatherers and ancient representatives of Mesolithic/Neolithi…
The genetic structure of the population of Northern Europe of the Mesolithic-Neolithic period currently remains poorly in-vestigated due to the small number of materials available for research. For the first time, the complete genome of an individual from the multilayer Meso-Neolithic site Ivanovskoe VII, located in the Upper Volga region in Yaroslavl Oblast, was studied. Ac-cording to stratigraphic data, an isolated skull of an adult male withou…
"Lost Child" or Vanguard? Linking Fatyanovo Population with Middle Volga Abashevo Culture using Ancient DNA Sequencing Data
High-throughput sequencing of ancient DNA from Fatyanovo and Abashevo cultures (7 and 3 men, respectively) has led to new hypotheses about their origin and contacts. According to published archaeological evidence, i. e., due to striking similarities between the grave goods discovered in the Middle Volga Abashevo burial complexes and those found in the bell-shaped beaker culture, it is believed that the Fatyanovo people may have descended from the…
Paleoecology and Land Use Patterns Based on the Study of Cultural Layers and a Buried Soil of the Tula Kremlin
Изучение свойств палеопочвы и культурных слоев разреза Тульского кремля позволило провести палеоэкологическую реконструкцию этапов преобразования ландшафта, охарактеризовать ранние стадии человеческой деятельности на данной территории, а также объяснить расположенность крупного культурного и хозяйственного центра позднего Средневековья на низком гипсометрическом уровне в непосредственной близости от уреза реки Упы. Были изучены морфологические и …
Ancient DNA of the Bearers of the Fatyanovo and Abashevo Cultures (Concerning Migrations of the Bronze Age people in the Forest Belt on the Russian Plain)
This study addresses a fundamental question of the origins and migration patterns of paleopopulations of the Fatyanovo and the Middle Volga Abashevo archaeological cultures. It is for the first time that we report a paleogenetic analysis of 14 Abashevo individuals (Pepkino and Starshy Nikitinsky sites). Besides, we analysed ancient DNA samples of 25 Fatyanovo individuals. Specifically, we performed analyses of STR marker and haplogroups of the Y …
Intravital skeletal injuries of the bearers of the Fatyanovo culture in the light of archeological and genetic data
Materials and methods. All the specific consequences of antemortem traumas that we encountered come from materials obtained during excavations of the Volosovo-Danilovo burial ground in the Yaroslavl region, the largest Fatyanovo burial site. The anthropological study combined visual inspection and microfocus radiography. As part of the paleogenetic analysis, the study of nuclear DNA microsatellites was used. The work was carried out on the basis …
Paleogenetic Analysis of the Residents from the Moscow Kremlin’s Podol (Lower Area) of the 14th Century (According to the Materials of Excavations in the Taynitsky Garden)
Introduction. The article presents the results of paleogenetic studies of medieval human remains of three people found in a closed archaeological complex (building 32) revealed during the excavations in 2007 in the Taynitsky Garden of the Moscow Kremlin (supervisor of excavations: N.A. Makarov). Previous studies on the dating of the complex links it to the devastation of Moscow by the troops of Tokhtamysh Khan in August 1382. The archaeological l…
Оn the issue of registration of human remains in mass graves of a sanitary nature at the stage of field work
Materials and methods. Based on the analysis of the descriptions of collective burials of the victims of the Mongol invasion in archaeological reports, taking into account the experience of foreign researchers of mass burials of the 20th century, an original method of fixing human remains of various completeness is proposed. Approbation of the methodology is described on the example of a study (2008, 2020) of a col-lective burial in 1238 in the a…
Historical context in the light of science research (based on materials from the 2007 excavations in the Moscow Kremlin by the Institute of Archaeology RAS)
Anthropological finds from the medieval layers of the Taynitsky Garden (based on the materials of the excavations in the Moscow Kremlin in 2007)
Excavations in the eastern part of the Moscow Kremlin in the framework of studying towns of North-East Rus of the 12th-13th centuries
Potential of the Radiocarbon Method for Dating Known Historical Events: The Case of Yaroslavl, Russia
We address here the methodological question of potentially using the radiocarbon method for dating historical events. The archaeological investigations in Yaroslavl (central Russia) provide an example. The Institute of Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IARAS) has been conducting excavations at the site for many years, and many archaeological complexes dating to different times have come to light. The most interesting of these are co…
