- Abstract
- The article is devoted to Bolshoye Davydkovskoye 2 settlement in the Suzdal Opolye. The settlement is among the best-studied ones in the region, with many surface finds and 865 m 2 of excavations. Analysis of the artifact and pottery assemblages, the radiocarbon dates and the stratigraphic observations allows identifying three periods of domestic and economic activity: late 10 th – 11 th cc. (probably until its second quarter), the 12 th c. (mainly first half to middle), and second half of the 12 th – 13 th cc. There is a chronological gap in economic activity at the excavated part of the site, dating to the second half of the 11 th – early 12 th cc. The area of the initial settlement in the eastern part of the site was at least 3 ha. By the second period, development extended to the area near the river, whereas materials from the third chronological period can be found throughout the settlement area. Thus, Bolshoye Davydkovskoye 2 was a large settlement which was characterized by dynamic development and functioned for at least 300 years.
