Archaeological research

The main medieval monument of Novgorod is its cultural layer, reaching 9 m. Clay soils do not allow air to pass through and do not absorb moisture, water oozes through the layers, preventing the access of air, thereby eliminating the process of decay of organic residues. Products made of wood, metal, bone, and leather are well preserved. The complete preservation of the layers corresponding to narrow periods of time makes it possible to clarify the ancient layout of the excavated area. The objects found in them make it possible to understand the purpose of the buildings, the standard of living of the inhabitants, and the nature of their occupations. Thousands of log buildings have been opened. The size of the estates reaches 300-1500 square meters. m. A weather dendrochronological scale has been developed; material complexes are dated with an accuracy of up to 10 years. The oldest pavement dates back to 953. Among the things found were ships, sleighs, furniture, utensils, dishes, children's toys, musical instruments, weapons, and jewelry.

The oldest (first half of the 11th century) of almost eight hundred birch bark letters preserved the text of the conspiracy in ancient German: “Never hit him with an arrow.” Around the same time, an exquisite message from a young woman with a high social position and familiar with the literary language to her lover who did not come on a date dates back to her: “What kind of evil do you have against me that you didn’t come to me this week? And I treated you like a brother! Did I really offend you by sending you? But I see you don’t like it. If you cared, you would have escaped from under (human) eyes and come... now somewhere else. Write to me about... (don’t think that I) am rejecting you. Even if I “hurt you with my stupidity,” if you start to mock me, then God and “my thinness” (= me) will judge (you). The ceras (waxed tablets for writing) with the texts of the Psalter (ninth kathisma) and an unparalleled text of a conspiracy or sermon, found in 2000, date back no later than the first quarter of the 10th century. and are the oldest surviving Slavic texts.

Archaeological sources also make it possible to resolve fundamental issues in the history of material and spiritual culture, economics and politics. Linguistic analysis of birch bark texts led to the discovery of the Old Novgorod dialect, related to the languages ​​of the Slavs of the southern Baltic (which means the Slavs came here not from the middle Dnieper region, as previously thought, but from the Western Slavic regions). The second important observation concerns the reasons for the emergence of a boyar republic in Novgorod. Early birch bark letters showed that state taxes were initially collected by the aristocratic elite of society on the basis of an agreement with the prince, which formed the basis of its economic power. The layer of other cities preserves only a negligible part of the antiquities, while Novgorod allows us to reconstruct an almost complete picture of the life of medieval townspeople. During excavations carried out since 1932, archaeologists have explored no more than 2% of the ancient territory. All R. 16th century the market housed more than 1,500 shops, and there were over 200 craft professions. During the Time of Troubles, Novgorod suffered from the Swedish occupation (1611-1617).

With the development of St. Petersburg, it is gradually losing its trade and economic importance, remaining one of the centers of flax growing. Since 1727 it has been a provincial town. In the end 18th - early 19th centuries the radial-semicircular layout of the Sofia side and the rectangular one on the Trade side were streamlined (general plans of 1778 and 1834). Fragments of the historical environment and buildings in the classicist style have been preserved (Travel Palace 1771, 1828; Guardhouse).
