Посад города Хлынова в XVI–XVIII вв. (по археологическим данным)

Abstract

The article contains information about the emergence, building and development of the city of Khlynov (later Vyatka and Kirov). The objects are brought into correlation with the city maps of 1759 and 1784. The analysis is focused on the archaeological works — excavations, exploration, and supervision — carried out on the territory of the Kremlin during the 1935–2019 period. It was those works that made it possible to specify and correct the data of the written sources and allowed determining the location of specific objects. The authors of the archaeological works were scientific employees of the Kirov Regional Museum of Local Lore, the Research and Production Center for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Objects of the Kirov region and other academic centers (M. P. Gryaznov, L. P. Gussakovsky, L. D. Makarov, A. L. Kryazhevskykh). The article describes the topographic and geographical features of the development of the territory of Khlynov’s settlement. It provides an interpretation of archaeological and historical data, as well as description of objects of architectural complexes discovered during the archaeological research of the territory. The reliability of the interpretation of the data of archaeologists of different periods is analyzed, too.
