Abstract

In 2009, on the territory of the village of Zamostie near the city of Sudzha, Kursk Region, a hoard containing more than 1500 items was found. These are mainly the items related to Group I of the "antiquities of the Antae", which makes it possible to attribute the Sudzha-Zamostie hoard to the Martynovka type treasure complexes. However, in its composition there are earlier products - of the second half of the 5^th-6^th century and even of the 2^nd-3^rd centuries. Most items have traces of use or repair, many are broken. Complete sets of personal ornaments are missing. The items were discovered in several clusters and individually on the area of about 6 m² 0.3-0.7 m deep in the low floodplain of the Sudzha, 50 m from the modern bank of the river. There are no cultural layers of the Roman and the Early Medieval Period on the site of the finding. Synchronous archaeological sites in the immediate vicinity are unknown. The results of paleopedology studies show that in the past the hoard hiding site was periodically flooded. The composition features and mode of the complex occurrence challenge its traditional interpretation as a set of material assets hidden at the time of danger. The Sudzha-Zamostie hoard, as some other treasures of the "Martynovka" kind, can could be of a sacral nature.
