카잔 인근의 유서 깊은 섬이다 보니 스비야시스크 섬은 아기자기한 다차도 많다. 섬을 한 바퀴 둘러보는데 한 시간이면 족한 이곳은 휴양의 섬이자 관광의 섬. 여행객들을 위한 작은 테마파크도 있다. 이반 4세에 맹렬하게 맞섰던 타타르인들의 용맹함과 강인함을 느껴보도록당시의 전투를 체험할 수 있다. 넓은 러시아 광야를 걸고 사활을 걸었던 이들의 격렬한 전투가 재현된다. 그야말로 온 몸의 힘을 이용한 전쟁의 사투! “힘들지 않아요?” “힘들어요.” “이건 동방에서 온 의상이에요. 카잔의 옷이기도 하죠. 하탕가라 불리는 전투복인데 중국에서 온 이 옷을 타타르도 입었어요. 이반 4세가 왔을 때 이런 갑옷을 입고 싸웠어요. 중국인, 타타르인, 칭기즈칸 등이 입었어요.” 용맹하기로 이름 높은 타타르인들이 입었던 정교한 갑옷과 투구, 검과 방패 등 무기의 무게까지 합치면 무려 40kg이 넘는다고 한다. 나도 무장을 해봤다. 갑옷과 투구, 방패와 검까지 갖추니 전투는커녕 움직이기도 벅차다. “어쩔 수 없어요 살려면 입어야 해요. 죽기 싫으면 입어야죠.” 카잔의 이름을 드높인 타타르인의 정기가 그대로 전해지는 듯하다.

Казанский кремль — историческое сердце Казани, сочетающее в своем облике православные и исламские, русские и татарские мотивы. Казанский кремль расположен на мысу высокой терассы левого берега Волги и левого берега Казанки. Казанский кремль представляет комплекс архитектурных, исторических и археологических памятников, раскрывающих его многовековую историю. Казанский Кремль представляет собой частично отреставрированную средневековую крепость. Общая площадь Кремля составляет 150 тысяч квадратных метров. Наружный периметр стен около 1800 метров. В XVI-XVII веках было 13 башен. К настоящему времени сохранились лишь восемь. Стены и башни Кремля помнят булгарских воинов, ханов Золотой орды, русских завоевателей и зодчих. Глубоко под землей сокрыты тайны Казанского Кремля — остатки древних крепостей, мечетей и мавзолеев. В историческом центре города ведутся археологические раскопки, работы по реконструкции. При этом архитекторы придерживаются идеи восстановления утраченного, стараясь сохранить неповторимый колорит древнего города.
Территория кремля представляет неправильный многоугольник, повторяющий очертания кремлевского холма, вытянутый с севера, от реки Казанки, на юг к площади 1 мая (быв. Ивановской, по близлежащему Предтеченскому монастырю) и зданию Гостиного двора (ныне музей РТ). Общая площадь кремля составляет 1500 квадратных метров, окружность 1800 м. Южная стена Кремля с 5-ю башнями выходит на Площадь Тысячелетия, вид на Кремль с этой площади является самой распространенной «визитной карточкой» города.
Мечеть Кул-Шариф — одна из главных мусульманских мечетей республики Татарстан и Казани (2005 г.); расположена на территории Казанского кремля. Названа в честь ее последнего имама сеида Кул-Шарифа, одного из предводителей обороны Казани. Строительство храма было начато в 1996 году как воссоздание легендарной многоминаретной мечети столицы Казанского ханства, центра религиозного просвещения и развития наук Среднего Поволжья XVI столетия. Мечеть была разрушена в октябре 1552 года во время штурма Казани войсками Ивана Грозного.

Russia: Ivan the Terrible's military arsenal found in Moscow region
Russian archaeologists showcased a newly discovered trove of medieval weapons and armour including a helmet that is believed to have belonged to Ivan the Terrible's army, in Moscow region, Thursday.
SOT Oleg Dvurechenkiy, Military Archaeologist (Russian): Arsenal consisted of fragments of armour, two helmets, fragments of chainmail, arrowheads, also some fragments of weapons such as sabres, fragments of expedition equipment. There was everything that an elite soldier took with him on military expeditions to supply his war slaves or vessels with this equipment.
SOT Oleg Dvurechenkiy, Military Archaeologist (Russian): This discovery is unique not only because it is a whole complex. It is also unique because we got all these artefacts as they were packed by their owner in his huge estate. The estate was burnt and even robbed during Time of Troubles, and only the cellar survived and it was there that we found the majority of the items, first of all two helmets decorated with copper and silver.
SOT Alexey Alexeyev, Scientific Advisor (Russian): The settlement is quite big and strata [layers] are spread over 80,000 sqm (2624671ft. We worked only in that area where the construction works will be carried out.

Forest-steppe transitions and peopling of the landscapes of the Mid-Volga region
In the forest-steppe zone of European Russia, the first millennium AD was a time of major changes in the populations, agricultural technologies, social structure, and settlement patterns. A heart of the forest-steppe zone, the Mid-Volga region underwent a transition from a non-populated, mainly forested landscape of first centuries AD, to a highly deforested agricultural landscape of the Volga Bulgarian state by the 11th century AD. Within several centuries, the landscape was transformed by shifting cultivation, wood and ore extraction, the formation of pastures and road networks. These transformations coincided with the major climatic changes, accelerating the effect of Medieval Warm Period (MWP) on soils and ecosystems. A combination of archaeological, stratigraphic, palynological, phytolith, and pedoanthracological analyses allowed us to reconstruct the following stadial landscapes and land use patterns: 1) the initial colonization of floodplains in the 2nd-4th cent. AD; 2) colonization of river terraces in the forested landscape, dominated by linden forests, by agriculturalists of the Imen’kovo culture; 3) an increase in the proportion of birch, pine and spruce in the forest, and a drastic reduction in the proportion of late-successional species after several cycles of slash-and-burn cultivation; 4) abandonment of the area for two centuries in the 7th cent AD; re-growth of abandoned swiddens and pastures by an early-successional forest; 5) at the beginning of the MWP, an anomalous wind activity caused mass tree uprooting, fuel build-up and fires, promoting the formation of a post-pyrogenic pine-spruce forest; 6) re-colonization of the landscape by a sedentary population of the Volga Bulgarian state, clearing the forest for large settlements and permanent fields, establishment of large-scale road networks and vast pastures. Increased temperatures caused melanization of organic remains in cultivated fields and pastures and the formation of Chernozemic soils in the treeless areas already within the first centuries following the land clearance.

Музей археологического дерева «Татарская слободка» / Свияжск 2019
Путешествие по Музею археологического дерева «Татарская слободка» г. Свияжска. Экскурсию проводит директор музея–заповедника Силкин Артем Николаевич.
Возле Речного вокзала в Свияжске, где и расположился «Музей археологического дерева», ранее было несколько улиц, в том числе - Татарская, Кузнечная, Болотная. В ходе археологических исследований удалось увидеть тот этап развития города, который ранее оставался неизведанным: это начало строительства Свияжска. Здесь выявлен слой, где перед началом возведения домов были срублены деревья.Эти деревья, тщательным образом законсервированные и подготовленные к демонстрации, сегодня представлены гостям музея.
Как известно, археологические находки, извлеченные из земли или воды, подвергаются воздействию новой для них физико-химической среды, которая в большинстве случаев влияет на сохранность предмета даже более пагубно, нежели длительное его пребывание в прежнем месте. Свияжск в этом плане уникален – за долгие столетия в посаде сформировался особенный «влажный» культурный слой, хорошо сохранивший предметы из органического материала, в числе которых как деревянные постройки, так и, например, изделия из кожи, растительных волокон и текстиля.
При этом процесс консервации мокрой археологической древесины из раскопа непрост. Дело в том, что состояние извлеченных из раскопа крупных деревянных объектов вызывало сомнение в возможности доставки экспонатов без потерь до реставрационной лаборатории. На состояние бревен повлиял как естественный износ древесины еще в период эксплуатации построек, химическое воздействие водных солей и органических кислот, входящих в состав любой почвы, разрушения, вносимые почвенной биотикой, так и особенности выполнения самих археологических исследований: процесс обработки деревянных конструкций приходилось проводить с задержкой, ведь ему предшествовали работы по фиксации пласта, сооружений и проведение ряда других необходимых процедур.
На месте археологического раскопа «Татарская слободка» можно наблюдать, как развивался в дальнейшем Свияжск. В музее все это представлено наглядно: дома, заборы, чем люди занимались, какая у них была специализация. Концепция, направленная на раскрытие тайн древности и демонстрация раскопок в том виде, в котором их видят ученые, воплотилась в жизнь. Вместе с тем это не значит, что работы завершились: экспозиция будет дополняться и достраиваться.
Музейное пространство состоит из двух составных частей – «Экспозиции» и «Археологического раскопа». Пространство археологического раскопа разделено на три хронологических яруса-пласта древней деревянной городской застройки Свияжска второй половины XVI – XVII веков. Строительный ярус деревянных построек середины XVII века подвешен на металлических каркасах. Важно отметить, что каждый каркас изготовлен индивидуально, исходя из степени сохранности древних построек и их особенностей. Этот ярус состоит из 18 деревянных сооружений. В ярусах, расположенных ниже, размещено порядка 20 сооружений XVI – первой половины XVII века. Особого внимания заслуживает возможность пройтись по обнаруженной в ходе исследований древней улице в специальном стеклянном навесе, который проходит через весь музей.
По периметру археологического раскопа создана экспозиция, посвященная быту городского населения эпохи позднего средневековья, состоящая из трех основных блоков, деревянное зодчество средневекового Свияжска, занятиям в быту и материальной культуре посадского населения Свияжска XVI-XVII веков, а также реставрации и консервации археологической древесины и археологических предметов.
Дополняет экспозицию анимационный контент – показ фильмов, посвященных созданию музея, презентация хроники ведения археологических исследований на территории раскопа и реставрационных работ по сохранению археологического дерева, а также визуализация процесса создания и монтажа музейной экспозиции. Все это демонстрируется на огромном анимированном панно протяженностью 21 метр, конструирующее Свияжск по писцовой книге 1565-1568 года, оживляющее представленный археологический материал.
Музей археологического дерева в Свияжске является первым в России и третьим в мире. Уже сегодня он открыт для посетителей и каждый желающий может окунуться в старину, ощутив себя ненадолго жителем средневекового Свияжска.
Открытие «Музея археологического дерева «Татарская слободка» состоялось 5 сентября 2018 г.
Siberian Origins
Siberian Origins
Dr. Richard Shutler Jr., Department of Archaeology, Simon Fraser University
In Siberia there are sites that are quite old. As far as who migrated to the New World, there is a big difference between American archaeologists and Russian archaeologists. The American archaeologists almost entirely have the idea that the Aleut and the Eskimos didn’t break up until they got to North America, whereas the Russian archaeologists think that happened before they left Siberia. I myself think that there was more involved than just the Beringia area, which of course was dry land 18,000 years ago and full of megafauna.
It seems to me that when you consider that the ocean was 300 feet (100 metres) lower than it is today, it would have been quite simple to come down through the Kamchatka Peninsula, across the Commodore Islands, through the Aleutian Islands, down the west coast of North America, and eventually to South America.
The problem is that the oldest radiocarbon date we have for the Aleutians is only 9000 years. There has been no work done on paleo sea levels or paleo land levels. Just last year people from the University of Oregon and elsewhere got up an expedition to go to the Aleutians and they are going to try and determine the paleo sea levels and see if they can find paleosols on the Islands.
