The Volga-Ural Region at the End of the Early Iron Age
This article discusses the adaptation patterns of ancient societies with different economic bases to changing environmental conditions at the end of the Early Iron Age. It is shown that in the second half of the 3rd and 4th centuries AD, climatic humidity increased across vast territories of the Volga-Ural region, in the steppe, forest-steppe, and forest zones. During this time, westerly atmospheric circulation intensified, leading to increased p…

Double Corrals - New Sites of the Bronze Age in the North-West Crimea and Their Study by Geophysical, Geochemical and Microbiological Methods
In the course of systematic exploration in 2007-2020, using natural-scientific approaches, more than 50 new settlements of the Bronze Age were discovered and investigated in North-West Crimea, for which borders, layouts were determined, and individual building complexes were identified. This became possible only with the use of an interdisciplinary methodology that combines the analysis of satellite images, magnetic survey and selective excavatio…
Microbiological Approach to Reconstruction of the Original Content of Pots from the Burials
In a model soil experiment, microbial decomposition nature and its rate applying to various organic substrates were studied. It is shown that the decomposition of various materials changes the functional features of microbial communities. These changes are assessed using multisubstrate testing of respiratory activity of microbial communities – this testing assumes application of low- molecular respiratory inducers (aminoacids and carboxylic acids…
Microbiological approach for identification of wool clothes in ancient burials
Non‐destructive approach for studying medieval settlements destroyed by ploughing
The procedure for studying medieval settlements destroyed by ploughing is applied to one of the largest Finno‐Ugric ancient settlement sites of western Urals, Guryakar (ninth–thirteenth centuries ad ). The approach implies the consistent use of a number of mutually confirming non‐destructive methods of survey: aerial photography using unmanned aerial vehicles followed by geophysical and soil surveying. Aerial photography in the visible spectrum e…
Magnetic surveys locate Late Bronze Age corrals
A new type of livestock enclosure from the Late Bronze Age has been discovered. Stone walls outline a pair of circular or oval areas that may be up to 50 m in diameter. The stone walls are invisible at the surface; they were discovered in north‐western Crimea and only with the aid of remote sensing and geophysical surveys. In the period 2007–2020, over two dozen of these structures were found; none has ever been noted before. The locations of the…
The Use of Remote Sensing, Geophysical Methods and Soil Analysis in the Study of Sites Disturbed by Agricultural Activity
This study is based on an interdisciplinary approach to the prospection of archaeological sites impacted by modern agricultural plowing activity. We applied remote sensing, combined with geophysical, geochemical, and archaeological methods at Kushmanskoye III — a medieval Finno-Ugric site in the Cheptsa River basin, northern Udmurtia (9th–13th centuries AD). As a result of many years of plowing, the site cannot be visually demarcated, and visual …

Climatic Optimum as a Factor of the Economic Crisis of Steppe Nomads in the 4th Century AD
Introduction. Archaeological sites of the 4th century AD absent on most of the area of the Late Sarmatian culture. This may be both due to the difficulties of their identification and absence of chronological indicators and due to migrations of nomads from the steppe zone. Perhaps unfavorable climatic conditions for nomadic cattle breeding affected the decrease in the number of nomadic population in the 4th century AD. Methods and materials. The …
Capabilities of consistent application of geophysical and geochemical surveys of medieval settlements destroyed by plowing
Currently, most of the archaeological sites on the western Urals (Russian Federation) are heavily destroyed by plowing. Archaeological excavations on the entire area of large monuments, such as medieval rural settlements, are impossible, while local excavations do not provide enough information about the boundaries and layout of the monument as a whole. To obtain more complete information about the site a new approach is proposed, which includes …
Urease activity in cultural layers at archaeological sites
The origins of terraced field agriculture in the Caucasus
Terraced field systems are a feature of many regions of the world and have been dated as early as 6000 cal BC in the Levant (Kuijt et al . in Antiquity 81 (2007: 106–18)). The discovery of agricultural terraces in the northern Caucasus, reported here, extends their distribution into a new area. Relatively low population levels in the late medieval and early modern periods have preserved several blocks of terraced fields, some of them created at t…
Thermophilic microorganisms in arable land around medieval archaeological sites in Northern Caucasus, Russia
Thermophilic microorganisms in the soils of medieval cultivated fields located within the Kislovodsk Basin (Northern Caucasus, Russia) were selected as a means for the reconstruction of manuring practices. Thermophilic bacteria are specific groups of microorganisms that develop in manure during the composting process when temperatures reach 60–70°C. The abundance of this type of bacteria in soils depends greatly on the intensity of farming practi…
