The History of the city of Trepol, found in museum boxes

The ancient city of Trepol, Ukraine, is first mentioned in chronicles from the 11th century AD. In 2018, I began work on a project to get a complete picture of its medieval history within a few years. However, first the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and then in 2022 the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, stopped the archaeological excavations indefinitely. This led to the idea of studying the collections of the regional museum. Working with inventory books, and then the items mentioned in them from the territory of the city, gave interesting results: about a thousand objects with a connection to modern streets and estates were discovered. These include building materials, ceramics, and metal objects, which cover the period from the 11th to the 17th century AD inclusive. It was possible to map the distribution of these finds across the territory of the ancient city at different time periods.
