Archaeologists from the Vernadsky Crimean Federal University and the Institute of Crimean Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences have discovered gold and silver women’s jewelry from the 5th-6th centuries. They were found in the Almalyk-Dere burial ground, the largest early medieval necropolis in Mangup. The find has been reported by the acting dean of the history department of the Vernadsky Crimean Federal University Valery Naumenko, who explained:
“We worked on sites that had not been previously archaeologically studied, and it turned out that there were burial complexes of different periods: both from the initial stage of the necropolis’ functioning (late 4th – first half of the 5th centuries), and from a later time (in particular, there are complexes from the 6th century).
As usual, this burial ground presented surprises in terms of things. It is no coincidence that the literature has developed the belief that this is not a necropolis for the ordinary population: there are complexes left there by an elite group of residents of the Mangup area and the entire southwestern Crimea at that time. Despite the strong looting of these complexes, there are things that are of independent scientific interest.”
