COLLECTION OF LEATHER SHOES FROM IL'MENSKY EXCAVATION IN VELIKY NOVGOROD

Abstract

The article focuses on the collection of leather
shoes manufactured in the 14th-15th centuries. This collection
was discovered during the excavation of the Slavensky end,
in Veliky Novgorod. The excavation revealed a 150 m2 medieval
bedding of the 12th and the first half of the 14th century
and a representational collection of the so-called archaeological
leather consisting mostly of shoe details and leather
scraps and cuttings of the late 14th - early 15th centuries. On
the basis of the received material, the authors reconstruct the
shoe styles which were popular during the investigated period,
and locate the shoe-making workshops.
