Abstract
On the basis of field work (excavation and observation), as well as archival documents and travel accounts, the author reconstructs the orientation and fortifications of three abatis designed to thwart incursions by Kuban' and Nogay Tatars via north-south trails across Muscovy's expanding southern frontier through the uplands between the Don and Volga Rivers.

Vodarskiy, ed., Problemy isotricheskoy geografii Rossii (Moscow: Institut Istorii Akademii nauk SSSR, 1982), No. 1, pp. 146-164.
