Archaeologists have uncovered a unique medieval hoard of silver artefacts in Leningrad Oblast, dating to the 10th–14th centuries.
The find was made during excavations at the Tiversky Gorodok site, one of the region's best-known archaeological landmarks.
The hoard comprises silver items spanning an extended historical period, which may indicate continuous occupation of the settlement over several centuries.
Full details regarding the composition of the hoard, the number of objects and the circumstances of its discovery have yet to be disclosed, though the find is regarded as significant for the study of the region's history in the medieval period.
Further specialist examination of the discovery may shed additional light on the economic and cultural life of the population that inhabited the Tiversky Gorodok area during that time.
