For a long time archaeological investigations of Medieval Russian towns with anaerobic cultural layers provided informational potential for complex research of medieval urban households. Yet such investigation is limited by traditional field method based on artificial horizontal layers and assumed constructive phases. That is why the main difficulty in complex research of medieval urban household is correlation between layers and phases in each archaeological trench. The paper presents some methods of obtaining such correlation with application of GIS-technologies tested during the excavations of Posolskij-2006. Spatial distribution of mass material gives a possibility to start collecting the data on specific traces of everyday life in medieval urban household. As a whole, using GIS-technologies for investigation of the medieval urban household has considerable research potential. Adaptation of methods of spatial analysis for different types of archaeological sites is highly necessary.

The main aim of the article was an attempt to analyze medieval pottery found at different city plots in different sites from Slavenskij district of medieval Novgorod, Russia. Analytical approach combined both synchronical and diachronical studies of certain pottery types. An attempt to compare pottery types in different synchronic city plots lead to understanding of necessity of more detailed pottery types' table. Diachronic analysis of various sites and city estates allowed to get seriation graphs for all sites and narrow the chronology of site Ilmenskij-2009.

The article describes of city tenement complex (constructions and finds) dated back to the end of the 12th c. which was discovered at Nikolskij-2007 site in Novgorod, Russia. The constructions of estate differs both with previous and later (Nkl2007-4) tenements what is usually interpreted as owner/inhabitants change. Artifacts from the tenement do not show extraordinary level of wealth. The collection lacks women jewellery and children' footwear or toys. This inexpensive context is a background for large quantity of small seals of Drohiczyn type and a seal of church affiliation. Pitifully there are not much detailed data of tenements with strong church connections (or inhabitants) so identification of inhabitants of this estate is quite difficult.

The article describes functional group 'indeterminable finds' which consists of objects without clear functional identification. Such finds form about 10% of collection of Posolskij-2006 and Nikolskij-2007 sites and 11-15% of collection of every analyzed city plots (8 tenements). Spatial analysis shows that the majority of such objects situated at the same areas with pottery sherds, animal bones and leather scraps. Such areas of mass material concentration usually interpreted as garbage piles which are situated outsed of movement paths of city estate. Therefore, objects of this group probably were considered as garbage in the middle ages and thus this fuctional group contains important information both about qualitative features of finds themselves and about city plot structure.

Generation and analysis of functional groups of objects (or functional analysis) occupies an intermediate position between the collection general study and the study of specific categories of objects or individual findings. The basis of group allocation is the objects categorization according to the nature of application, i.e., functions. The necessity for such a study is caused by large amounts of merchandise collections originating from urban deposits. The report examines both international experience of this approach application (Trondheim, Szczecin) and its application to the materials of Novgorod. Depending on their quality characteristics and conditions of arhaeologization functional groups may describe either individual characteristics of the estate, or be used to identify "the ware set of a standard homestead", which, in its turn, allows one to study various activities of inhabitants of the medieval city in detail.

Preliminary publication of archaeological materials from Ilmenskij site in Novgorod, Russia which were held in 2009. According to excavated data this part of Slavenskij district of medieval Novgorod was occupied in the 12th century, then abandoned probably in the 1/3 of the 13th century and again inhabited in the 80s of the 14th century. The latest medieval layers dated back to the 1/2 of the 15th c. Remains of medieval city consist of early unpaved road (12 c.), 2 phases of medieval paved street (late 14th and 1st half of the 15th cc) and city estates which were linked to the route. Among typical finds of medieval Russian city a complex of Western finds was discovered: several pieces of stoneware (Steinzeug) pottery, bone stylus with iron point and dress hook. Publication contains plans of excavated phases and images of most typical finds.
