BYZANTINE GLAZED POTTERY IN DAILY LIFE OF KYIVANS
In the period of the 10-th – 13-th centuries Kyiv obtained an exceptional role in use and distribution of the imported goods due to its geographical location, political importance and social development. The numerous category of import coming from Byzantium. In contrast to the amphorae, delivered to Rus` in large quantities, glazed pottery remains among the unique finds throughout this period. The paper gives an overview of glazed pottery retrieved from the archaeological deposits of Kyiv. Most of the findings have been already published within overall catalogs or in case of special items or assemblages. Thus, the paper aims to give a new approach to the findings and consider them as a case data set in terms of historic topography and socio-cultural space of medieval Kyiv. We assume a clear social stratification for this category of import and it primary concentration in the Upper town.
Keywords: Byzantine, glazed pottery, Kyiv, trade relations, imported goods
