В заметке опубликована палеоэтноботаническая находка из раскопок 2005 г. на территории киевского Арсенала.
Среди изделий из глины, которые были обнаружены в яме 19а (рис. 1), находилось днище горшка с отпечатками
зерновок культурных растений (рис. 2). Керамика выполнена профессионалом на гончарном круге, датирована
XVI в. Отпечатки зерновок идентифицированы как 1 зерновка проса (Panicum miliaceum), остальное — ячмень
пленчатый (Hordeum vulgare) (рис. 3). Преимущественно, они находятся на днище, три отпечатка ячменя обнаружены также на внешней стенке придонной части. На днище отпечатался колосок.
Находка уникальна для данного периода.
In 2005—2010 Architectural and Archaeological expedition of the IA NASU headed by H.Yu. Ivakin carried out
archaeological excavations on the territory of the Kyiv Arsenal. This note is the publication of paleoethnobotanical find
from the 2005 excavations. Among the products of clay, which were found in the pit 19a (fig. 1) there was a bottom of a pot
with imprints of cultivated plants seeds (fig. 2). This vessel is a work of a professional potter on a potter's wheel. According
to definition of O.V. Onohda, ceramic complex from the pit 19a can be dated by the sixteenth century. The identification
of grain prints is 1 grain of proso millet (Panicum miliaceum) and the rest as barley (Hordeum vulgare) (fig. 3). Mostly they
were on the bottom; there were also three imprints of barley on the outer wall of the bottom part. A spike also imprinted
on the bottom. For the control verification, synchronous ceramics has also been viewed. The comparison of the bottoms
shows that only one of them, with imprints, had no traces of cutting from the stand, which ensured the preservation of clear
imprints. Despite the fact that almost certainly the potter was not a farmer, presumably, he was close enough to such a
random symbolism, in which one can see the remnants of agricultural beliefs.
The find is unique for this period.
