Abstract

The article discusses the results of archaeometallographic studies of iron products from the settlements Myakinino 1, Myakinino 2 and Nastasino 2 – the largest archaeological sites in Moscow region. The authors identify technological patterns for manufacturing smithery products from these sites. It was established that these patterns differed significantly: for Myakinino 1 and Myakinino 2, technological groups I and III p-redominate, while in Nastasino all three groups are represented in equal proportions. The technological model typical for Myakinino 1 and Myakinino 2 was formed on the basis of supplies from two manufacturing centres – the urban and the rural one. The model identified by studying the Nastasino materials has much in common with the pattern characterizing the iron objects from the Istye 2 production complex. The authors use a specific example to demonstrate that rural settlements were included in the complex commodity exchange with urban and rural manufacturing centres.
