Interdisciplinary study of 13th century silver coins of the juchid (based on the materials of the burundukovsky hoard, tatarstan, Russia)

This work represents an interdisciplinary study of archaeological silver coins discovered in the territory of Burunduki village located in the Tatarstan Republic (Russia). The coins were minted in the 13th century in Bolgar (Volga Bolgaria) during the rule of the Juchid dynasty (the Golden Horde). The silver-containing numismatic material was studied using three analytical methods: X-ray fluorescence analysis, emission spectroscopy and scanning electron and optical microscopy. Surfaces of coin fractures were studied in order to determine the inner structure. The results of this study demonstrated that fracture mapping corresponds to physical processes occurring during pressure processing. As a result, local material was clearly classified into two groups in terms of the chemical composition and manufacturing technique

Archaeological and numismatical findings from the vicinitie of Bolshiye Atrjasi village (Tetjushy district of Tatarstan Republic)

The objects found at Big Atrjasi village in the Tetjushy district of Tatarstan is considered in article. The village is known by the unique cemetery with stone gravestones of 1314 – 1323. Three hidden treasures of silver coins have been found in the XX century at the Big Atrjasi village. Treasures were buried in the end of the 1390s. More than 47 000 silver coins were hidden inside them. The findings that were found at village in the beginning of the XXI century are also studied in the article: bronze and silver jewelry, household items, iron arrowheads, numismatics. Coins related to an epoch of Golden Horde: single findings are basically related to first half – the middle of XIV century, three treasures –the end of XIV century, and an jewelry – end Х–XII centuries, XIII–XIV and XVII–XIX centuries. The ceramics, found on settlement, is dated mainly XIII century. The materials studied in article allow the authors to suggest that in the end of XIII – first half XIV centuries the modern Big Atrjasi village had a big settlement, which were the one of trade centre on this territory
