Cult sites of Rostislavl Ryazanskiy in the context of Christian antiquities of Ryazan land
Christian antiquities of the fortified settlement Rostislavl (the remains of the town of the 12 th - 16 th cc. as a part of Ryazan land) including the square of the wooden temple surrounded by elite necropolis of the 12 th - 14 th cc. with the remains of stone grave monuments, the objects of private devotion (baptismal and pectoral crosses from a stone, horns, non-ferrous metals and small metal icons-appendices). Ceramic glazed cups used for funeral rites and details of books' clasps from non-ferrous metals are related to the same category of antiquities. Rostislavl of Pre-Mongol period significantly gave in on the amount and variety of such finds to the capital of Ryazan Province Staraya Ryazan which matches precisely its comparatively low status of that time.
