To what extent have long distance goods and merchants penetrated into the hinterland of trading settlements along the river routes between the towns of Chernigov and Lyubech, in the tenth century?

This study aims to look at the extent to which trade and long distance exchange had penetrated into smaller settlements along the river routes between the towns of Lyubech and Chernigov, in the tenth century. The study uses existing excavation reports from the area to compile a database of finds and settlements. Presenting the data in a compiled form in English for the first time, this study looks to determine the ways goods may have travelled in the region and the origin of the goods.
