The article discusses materials from the excavations of Naŭry ІІ necropolis (Miadziel district, Minsk region), carried out in 2019 by V. Tarasevich and M. Plavinski. As a result of the work carried out, six objects were recorded, some of which are recognized as cremation burials in the pits, and a new barrow (barrow 13) was revealed, the study of which was completed in 2020. Thus, the necropolis consists of barrows with cremation burials and flat cremations. In the functioning of the necropolis two cultural and chronological horizons can be distinguished: barrows date back to the third quarter of the 1st millennium AD and correlate with the bearers of the Bancaraŭščyna culture / Pskov long barrows culture; in turn, flat cremation burials can be attributed to the culture of SmalenskPolack long barrows and at the moment are dated within the wide boundaries of its existence: the 8th century – early – first half of the 11th century.

Reconstruction of female funeral ornaments set of population of the Braslaŭ Lakeland in the beginning of the 11th century (a case of burial 2 from barrow 7 of the Pahošča barrow cemetery).
The article presents the analysis of grave inventory discovered in the course of excavation of burial 2 in barrow 7 of the Pahošča cemetery, Braslau district, Viciebsk region. Barrow 7, excavated in 2007, contained two inhumation burials. Both of them are simultaneous and dated back to the beginning of the 11th century AD. Rich inventory accompanied female burial 2. It included headdress (a headband and bracelet-shaped temple-rings), neck (a neck ring, a string of glass beads, and a necklace of spirals, chain-holders, and bells) and arm (a volute finger-ring) ornaments.

The main work was concentrated on the continuation of the study of the Naŭry II necropolis and the search for rural settlements synchronous with it. On the territory of the necropolis Naŭry II 277 square meters were explored, which made it possible to clarify the topography of the cemetery, its chronology and cultural affiliation. To date, the necropolis Naŭry II is the only cemetery of the second half of the 2nd – beginning of the 1st millennium AD, where flat burials of the Krivichi were explored on a fairly large area. Despite the fact that rural settlements, synchronous with the time of the existence of the necropolis, have not yet been identified, during the exploration carried out in 2020, the number and topography of settlements and individual finds of artifacts belonging to the complex of archaeological monuments Naŭry were clarified.

The excavations led here in 2017—2020 brought to discovery of some flat burials of the Smolensk-Polack Long Barrows Culture, which were then studied on a fairly large area, which can be dated to the 8 th — beginning/first half of the 11 th century (the second cultural and chronological horizon of the functioning of the cemetery). All studied burials belong to the cremations performed outside and are divided into two types: type I — cremations in the mainland pits, type II — crema-tions on the surface.

Plavinski, M. Plavinski and V. Tarasevich. During four years of excavations in the necropolis Naŭry II 733 sq. meters were studied. As a result of the research it was revealed that the necropolis consists of kurgan barrows with cremation burials and graves with cremations without kurgans. Two cultural and chronological horizons can be identified in the necropolis functioning. The first horizon includes kurgans dating back to the third quarter of I millennium AD. The second horizon includes burials without cremations, which can be attributed to the culture of the Smolensk-Polоtsk long barrows which falls within the broad range of the 8th – early / first half of the 11th centuries.

Аўтарам прааналізаваны шэраг навуковых публікацый, на падставе якіх была зроблена выснова пра тое, што гэтым пытаннем мэтанакіравана пачалі займацца з пачатку 1960-х г. Можна вылучыць тры перыяды ў даследаванні жаночага строю крывічоў. Пачатковы перыяд (1960-я – пачатак 1990-х гг.) характарызуецца паступовым адыходам ад успрыняцця жаночага строю «культуры доўгіх курганоў» толькі як крыніцы – строй стаў выступаць як прадмет даследавання. Другі перыяд (1990-я – 2017 гг). характарызуецца мэтанакіраваным даследаваннем менавіта жаночага строю ў рамках паняцця культура смаленска-полацкіх доўгіх курганоў (КСПДК). У гэты час узнікаюць даволі падрабязныя тыпалогіі асобных элементаў жаночага строю КСПДК. З 2017 года пачынаецца трэці перыяд (2017 – наш час). Ён вылучаны на падставе выяўлення бескурганных пахаванняў КСПДК, у якіх сустракаюцца новыя «нетыповыя» жаночыя ўпрыгажэнні. Гэта вымушае даследчыкаў па-новаму пераасэнсаваць традыцыю пахавальнай абраднасці і характэрныя элементы жаночага строю крывічоў. Сярод асноўных даследчыкаў можна назваць прозвішчы Я.А. Шмідта, В.В. Сядова, У.В. Енукова, В.С. Няфёдава. У выніку шматгадовых даследаванняў былі вылучаны рэчы, якія выступаюць у якасці «культурных маркёраў», прапанаваны тыпалогіі і храналогія асобных элементаў жаночага ўбору: скроневых колцаў, галаўных венчыкаў, трымальнікаў. Устаноўлена, што ў даследаваннях жаночага ювелірнага ўбору культуры смаленска-полацкіх доўгіх курганоў дамінуе «мікрарэгіянальны падыход»: тыпалогіі інвентару пабудаваны ў асноўным на падставе матэрыялаў са смаленскай часткі арэала культуры. Такім чынам, назіраецца як бы «разрыў» у ступені даследаванасці жаночага ўбору між расійскімі і беларускімі даследчыкамі: на тэрыторыі Беларусі даследаванне яго лакальных асаблівасцяў і храналогіі толькі распачалося.
The article is devoted to the history of studying, as well as to the analysis of how deeply women’s metal attire (suit) of Smolensk-Polotsk long barrows culture is studied, which is usually identified with the Krivichs from annalistic chronicles. The author analyzed a number of scientific publications, on the basis of which it was concluded that a focused study of this issue had begun in the 1960s. In the studies of women’s jewellery attire of the Krivichs three periods can be distinguished. The initial period (1960s – early 1990s) is characterized by a gradual departure from the perception of women’s attire of “the culture of long barrows” only as a source of research. Attire became the subject of re- search. The second period (1990s – 2017) is characterized by studying of women’s attire in terms of the Culture of Smolensk-Polotsk Long Barrows (SPLBK) on purpose. At that time, fairly detailed typologies of particular elements of the SPLBK women’s attire appeared. Since 2017 the third period has begun (2017 – present). It is determined based on discovery of moundless burials of the KSPDK in which new “atypical” women’s jewellery is found. It makes researchers rethink the tradition of a funeral rite and specific elements of the Krivichi women’s attire E.A. Schmidt, V.V. Sedov, V.V. Enukov, V.S. Nefyodov are among the main researchers. As a result of multiple years research, things that act as “cultural markers” were identified. Typologies and a chronology of individual elements of women’s metal attire were suggested: temple rings, head ornaments, holders. It has been established that in the study of women’s jewelry attire SPLBK the “micro-regional approach” prevails: typologies of inventory are predominantly based on materials from Smolensk part of the cultural area. Thus, there is a ‘gap’ between Russian and Belarusian researchers in how deeply women’s metal attire is studied. In Belarus, the study of its local characteristics and chronology has just begun.

Што можна патлумачыць складанасцю іх стварэння найперш з-за недахопу інфарматыўнасці крыніц. Аднак сёння падобныя рэканструкцыі можна правесці, калі ўлічыць шэраг вакных метадалагічных аспектаў, што дапамагае выпрацаваць адмысловыя метады працы з матэрыяламі пахаванняў па абрадзе крэмацыі і ўключыць іх у агульнае кола крыніц, якія дазваляюць аб'ектыўна аднавіць старажытны строй.
In national archeological science there are almost no examples of scientific reconstructions of the attire of the bearers of archeological cultures of the second half of the I - the beginning of the II millennium BC, who practiced cremation as a funeral rite. This can be explained by the difficulty of their creation primarily due to the lack of informative sources. However, today such reconstructions can be carried out if a number of important methodological aspects is taken into consideration. This helps to develop special methods of working with cremation burial materials and to include them in the general range of sources, which allow restoring the ancient attire objectively.

Гэты перыяд у развіцці беларускай археалогіі можна назваць «памешчыцкім», калі даследаваннямі займаліся прадстаўнікі заможных слаёў насельніцтва. Менавіта імі быў пакладзены старт назапашванню матэрыялаў для рэканструкцыі жаночага строю насельніцтва Беларускага Падзвіння другой паловы VIII – пачатку ХІ ст.
