The Bronze Age in Eastern Europe: multidisciplinary approaches, 2023

A description of paleometal products is provided. A definition of the type of each thing is proposed on the basis of analogies. The shaft-hole axe from Hrozyntsi belongs to the Fajsz type and is dated to the end of the Eneolithic – the Early Bronze Age. The shaft tube smoothly separated from the blade serves as a defining feature. The shaft-hole axe from Diakivtsi has a separated socket and a narrower blade. It belongs to the Kozarac type (the Early and Middle Bronze Age). There is insufficient data to map the axes to specific local cultures or groups. Three more bronze finds are related to the Gáva-Holihrady culture. The beaked socketed axe from Ternavka is characteristic for the Hungarian-Transylvanian types with a wide chronological range of use – HaA – HaB1. Two bracelets from Kamianka are dated within the time limits of this period, but most of the analogies relate to the period HaA1.

Most of them are made of bronze and belong to the interwar period
when the region was part of the Kingdom of Romania. The material under consideration has a significant factual and illustrative potential, especially in museum work. It testifies that the interwar activities of many organizations and institutions in the Khotyn County remain insufficiently studied or have not become the object of scientific research at all, which poses the issue in a new light.

Autorii oferă o analiză sfragistică și istorică detaliată a unor matrice de sigilii
găsite pe teritoriul fostului județ Hotin din Basarabia de Nord. Majoritatea acestora sunt confecționate din bronz și datează din perioada interbelică, atunci când județul făcea parte din Regatul României. Materialul descris are un potențial faptic și ilustrativ semnificativ, în special în domeniul muzeografic, ce denotă faptul că activitățile multor organizații și instituții din județul Hotin al perioadei interbelice rămân insuficient studiate sau nu au constituit, în general, un subiect independent de cercetare științifică, ceea ce actualizează problematica precizată.

Most of them (8 units) are details of the mechanisms for closing the powder flasks. Despite the fragmentary nature of the material, products of Eastern samples (2 Ottoman, 2 Iranian or, less likely, Indo-Iranian types) and European (German?) origin were selected. Such powder flasks were characteristic of the 17th-18th centuries, but based on the stratigraphic position of the location and indirect data, a narrower dating can be proposed – the last third of the 17th – the first third of the 18th centuries. Despite the archaeologically recorded traces of bone-cutting and bronze-casting on the territory of the fortress, at the moment there are no good reasons to talk about the local production of powder flasks.
Kejwords: powder flasks, priming flask, closing mechanism, archaeological finds, Khotyn fortress.

Жорна з Ревного на Буковині (Millstones from Revne at Bukovyna), 2021

Millstones from Revne at Bukovyna
In the article stones from light hand millstones from Revne group of settlements of the 8th — 10th centuries left by the Slavs — bearers of the Raiky archaeological culture are published (fig. 1; 2). The lithological composition of rocks was determined. The millstones were made of two types of rocks: 1 — organogenic-detrital limestone, layered, cavernous, grayish-yellow (fig. 3: 1, 2); 2 —organogenic detrital limestone, massive, finely cavernous, yellowish-gray (fig. 3: 3). Such rocks are typical for the area of Revne agglomeration. This confirms the local origin of the raw materials (fig. 4). The rocks can be easily processed with iron tools. At the same time, they are strong enough and not prone to fracture and small fracturing. An average density of limestone is 2.7 g/cm3.
Millstones are widely known from the materials of the Raiky culture sites (fig. 5). Probably, in all cases, local raw materials were used. On this background mention of the finds of grain graters occurs in scientific literature less often. In the materials of Revne agglomeration of the 8th — 10th centuries grain graters are unknown.
Discovered millstones are divided into «spoilage» or blank (fig. 3: 1), bed stone (fig. 3: 2) and runner stone (fig. 3: 3). There is a sufficient basis for the general reconstruction of a light hand millstone. It consists of archaeological finds (stones and occasionally other parts made of iron and wood), ethnographic and iconographic data (fig. 6). All these sources were qualitatively analysed by R. S. Minasyan and he proposed his own classification. Today, we consider his work to be the most generalizing and reliable basis for descriptive reconstruction of the millstone. However, the classification itself is not quite user-friendly. Therefore, we offer systematization as a combination of main features. It is presented in a tabular form (fig. 7). According to the proposed systematization, the millstones from Revne can be characterized as ІІ.2.A—B — bed stone with a hole and a wooden pin (not preserved), with runner stone and rind (not preserved), with a hole for a handle of indeterminate length (not preserved).

Hoard of the instruments for soil cultivation from the Chornivka archaeological complex
On the territory of the Chornivka archaeological complex the Bukovynian expedition of the State Enterprise «Science Research Centre “Protective Archaeology Service of Ukraine”» of the Institute of Archaeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine monitors the condition of the monument sites. Thanks to this, in 2022, a deposit of parts for the instruments for soil cultivation was discovered outside the boundaries of known settlements. Two gouters, two tusks and a bushing hoe were found. The publication is dedicated to introducing this hoard into scientific circulation. The find of a deposit of agricultural tools outside the archaeological sites confirms the importance of constant monitoring of both the sites and the areas around them. A comparative analysis of these details with materials of the Raykovetska monuments also confirms the chronology of the hoard’s laying — VIII— X centuries.
The find of both sets in pairs (2 gouters and 2 tusks) proves that they were intended for use on ploughable tools / ploughs. The comparative analysis against the background of similar findings of the last quarter of the 1st millennium AD on the territory of the south of Eastern Europe in various archaeological cultures proves the highest level of development of these tools for primary soil tillage for its time.
Today, out of five locations of such foundations, three were discovered in a small part of the area of the Raykovetska culture in the northern part of Bukovyna. Do these finds testify to the better study of the Raykovetska sites in the Chernivtsi region compared to others or are a feature of this micro-region of settlement of the chronicled Slavs — time will tell.
The deposition of the material was probably of a purely domestic nature — short-term storage of property; the contents of the deposit emphasize the importance of agriculture for ancient people. Detailing the interpretation of such material (not precious) deposits requires the creation of a catalog for Eastern Europe as complete as possible.
Keywords: Early Slavs, Raykovetska culture, deposit, agricultural tools, gouter, tusk, hoe.

The seal belonged to Khotyn district starosta, whose duties were first assigned to O. Suharenko, and later – to P. Izbytskyi. The period of its use may be limited, respectively, since May 28 to November 12, 1918. Keywords: the Ukrainian State, metallic seal under the sealing-wax, Khotyn district, district chief (starosta), P. Izbytskyi

According to eyewitnesses, there were more than three dozen ornamented and not ornamented bracelets and one or two spearheads in a ceramic bowl. The morphology of findings (two bracelets) indicates clearly the Early Hallstatt period (Ha A). This deposit was hidden in the synchronous settlement, which was the part of a large accumulation of archeological monuments. The settlements are mainly concentrated along the left high bank of Paleosovytsya River (second terrace of Prut River), which in late and final stages of the Bronze Age performed by one of the links of the Siret-Dniester way.

Over the past 30 years, such an initiative has been implemented several times during archaeological practices for students of Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University and «Ștefan cel Mare» University of Suceava. During this time, four student exchanges took place. The main practice bases in 1993 were the settlements of Chornivka in Ukraine and Târgu Frumos in Romania, in 1994 – the settlements of Revne and Siret, and in 2006 and 2007 – the Khotyn fortress and the settlement of Fetești – La Schit. The periods of joint practice lasted for 10 days, were related to the solution of certain organizational issues and allowed to realize a number of important educational goals.

The study of the battlefield is an integral component for understanding its content and course, in particular, the localization of the troops of the opposing sides in the area. During the 19th and early 21st centuries researchers proposed about a dozen options for reconstruction of the battlefield, including placement of troops of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Most of the reconstructions are schematic, which makes it impossible to make a clear reference to the environment and to fully reveal the course of the confrontation. By studying written, iconographic, archaeological sources, comparing topography and toponymy data, a new version of the reconstruction of the key part of the battlefield, occupied for the purpose of defense by Polish-Lithuanian troops and Zaporizhzhya Cossacks, is proposed. The location of the troops is plotted on a detailed topographical basis.
The positions of the troops of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth are located on an area of about 4.5 km2 within the boundaries of the modern Khotyn and on its southern outskirts. They consisted of the following parts: a camp of Polish-Lithuanian troops, separate advanced fortifications (a stone castle, a crossing bridge over the Dniester and a near bridge fortification, a brick church, the chances of Weyher, Lubomirski, Zyczewski, Denhoff and Lermont, the camp of lisowczyki), the military camp of Zaporozhian Host and the sections of the front occupied by the Cossacks. The informativeness of the sources is naturally more regarding the Polish-Lithuanian positions compared to the Cossack ones.
The archaeological research should be a new step in the study of the field of the Khotyn Battle of 1621.

A portable sundial from the Khotyn fortress / Портативний сонячний годинник із Хотинської фортеці, 2019

The inner plane of the upper sheet of the appliance is marked with a vertical sundial for 51° northern latitude. The morphological and stylistic features and the adduced analogies (Svodin, Wachtebeke, Iassy, Lüneburg, Eger and National Maritime Museum in Greenwich) make it possible to date a clock within the end of the ХVІ – the middle of the ХVІІ centuries and associate with products (type II) of the Nuremberg masters of the Miller family, probably Hans or Leonard. A diptych clock was discovered among the remains of a small object in the northern part of the Khotyn Castle. The collected material dates back the complex to the late 60s – the last third of the ХVІІ century. Comparison of archaeological data with the event history indicates that there are good reasons to associate the investigated object with the stay in the Khotyn Castle of the Polish-Lithuanian garrison under the command of Jan Ochab. He controlled the fort after the victory of Jan Sobieski’s troops over the Turks since November 13, 1673 and until the surrender on August 4, 1674. Obviously, some of the garrison owned a portable sundial, useful primarily for sentinel service.
Khotyn’s discovery, cartographic material, reports of written sources leads to the opinion that under the device used by the Zaporozhian Cossacks at sea and the Crimean Tatars in the open steppe and known, according to G. L. de Beauplan, as the «Nuremberg Quadrant» (quadran de Nurambert; quadran au Soleil, according to P. Chevalier), should be understood the portable sundial diptych with a compass and characteristic layout of the dial.
