We distinguish three main phases of cultural development in the area: the 2nd to 5th centuries CE, the 5th to 7th centuries, and the last one, dated from the 7th to 10th centuries, simultaneous to the Pre-Viking Age and the Viking Age in Northern Europe. The starting point of each of these three phases correlates with the collapse of the cultural pattern of the earlier period in the North-West and in the Center of the East European Plain. To the east of the Volga, the local cultures evolved continuously during the first millennium, and the formation of new cultural traditions happened gradually without sharp changes but generally followed the trends of the western regions.

of the Culture of Pskov Long Barrows.
Abstract. The article analyzes information about the sites of the compact boundary micro-region of the Pskov long barrow culture in the interfluve of the Luga and Oredezh rivers. The history of the study of the sites in the microregion and their spatial distribution are considered. The data about the finds is analyzed. Some materials are introduced into scientific circulation for the first time.
in Pskov-Izborsk region. Graves of Izhora plateau, similarly to stone burials of North-Eastern Estonia, are so called fenced burials (tarands), built in Roman time and used for burials in middle – third quarter of the 1st millennium. Graves of Pskov-Izborsk region date from the Viking Age (with the exception of Vybuty burial ground) and represent a separate cultural phenomenon. Stone burial grounds of both groups are often topographically connected with later barrow-zhalnik cemeteries, in which fences similar to stone burial grounds are found.
The article is devoted to the history of archaeological study of contacts and relations of the Finno-speaking peoples of the North-West of Russia with Russian (Slavic) population sharing the same territories during the Middle Ages and the early modern period. According to the author,
by and large the con- cepts that developed in historiography trace back the ideas of the 19th century and need to be significantly adjusted taking into account the materials and ideas accumulated to date. The views on the possibility and methods of archaeological study of ethnocultural development and interethnic relations need to be revised. It is also necessary to abandon the usual straightforward identification of the culture of medieval Rus (the culture of early statehood) with the Slavic one.
The article discusses an iron pincer fibula, originating from the excavations led by A. N. Bashenkin on the Suda river. The
fibula comes from a partially destroyed burial ground with cremations Nikolskoye XVII, dating from the 2nd—3rd centuries up
to 9th—10th centuries. Pincer fibulae are a rather rare variety of Roman provincial hinged brooches, most common in Northern
Italy, Eastern Gaul and the Balkans. On the territory of Eastern Europe, finds of pincer fibulae are rare. According to the
author, pincer fibulae could have entered the Sheksna basin from the south, from the side of the Oka basin, most likely in
the 3rd century.

Eastern Europe. In 2013, a single cremation Rosson 11 was found in a rather untypical landscape in the Narva–Luga Klint Bay area, by the Russian–Estonian border. The burial was located at the foot of Kudruküla palaeospit, 1 km away from the shoreline of the Baltic Sea, in a plain and marshy area. Burnt bones might have belonged to one individual, presumably 15–45 years old, most likely female, as judged from anthropological evidence and assemblage of the preserved burial goods. Cremation was done elsewhere, and the remains were afterwards placed in an urn and a shallow pit. Besides the burnt bones, the contents included fragments of bronze ornamented plates, of a narrow cast bracelet with a longitudinal rib, a fragment of an iron artefact, and fragments of handbuilt pottery. The chronology of typologically pronounced finds allows to date the burial within 5th–6th c. AD. A burnt bone fragment was dated by AMS, within the interval from 420 to 560 cal AD. The Rosson 11 burial differs from burials with stone constructions known in the Izhora Plateau, as well as from Pskov Long Barrows and eastern Lithuanian barrows, although there are many parallels to the bracelet and other finds from the site. This burial can be considered as an evidence that the population of Ingeria did use the coastal landscape in the second half of the 1st millennium AD.
