Hillfort in Moscow Oblast, Russia.
Iron age hillfort on the left bank of Kolomenka river in Kolomna town, Moscow Region. In use from approx. 700 to 1200 AD. Remnants of rampart (on the South, East and West sides) and ditch (only on the NE side) should be visible but due to high grass I could find none of them.
Archaeological excavations opened 1m thick occupation level consisting of three horizons. Old Russian pottery and iron knives were found in the upper horizon. Numerous debris of the molded ceramics of the late Dyakovo Culture were typical for the middle horizon. In the lower horizon containing bone arrowheads, needles, awls and ceramics of the early Dyakovo Culture the remains of a semi-earthhouse with a wattle and daub fireplace were explored.
Collection is kept in the Kolomensky Museum of Regional Studies.
