Archaeological Excavations along the Wall of the Outer City (Sverdlov street) in Pskov, 2017-2018
From the autumn of 2017 until the end of the summer season of 2018, archaeological research in Sverdlov Street in Pskov, which preceded the replacement or construction of new sections of engineering communications in Sverdlov and the adjacent Spegalsky street and lanes: Museiny, Komsomolsky and Komisarovsky was carried out. The total area under study is 2911 sq. m (including archaeological observation sites). The area of archaeological excavation is 1772 sq. m. The archaeological research of the extended site allowed us to study and draw a number of conclusions about the stages of development and building of the part of the modern Sverdlov street. The sites of medieval monastic necropolises uncovered in two excavations can also be attributed to the stages of the street development. During the excavations at the parts of the fortress wall of the Outer city stone structures of the foundations of the 15th - 16th centuries and in one part of the area the remains of the original wooden wall of the 15th century were studied.
