Kovalev Introduction Zvenyhorod was one ofthe most important Galician towns during the age ofKyivanRus'(ca.900-1240).LocatedbetweentwobranchesoftheBilkaRiver near what is today the village ofZvenyhorod in Pustomyty raion southeast of Lviv, it was the principal centre ofthe Galician land before the rise ofHalych as a princely capital in the 1140s. Zvenyhorod was first mentioned in the Rus' Primary Chronicle under the year 1086 in connection with the assassination of the Volhynian prince laropolk Iziaslavych on his way there from Volodymyr.' In 1124 Prince Volodymyrko, the son of Volodar Rostyslavych of Peremyshl, made Zvenyhorod the capital ofhis breakaway principality. Two years later he annexed Peremyshlprincipality, and in 1141 Terebovl and Halych principalities also became part of the domain that he ruled from Zvenyhorod. In 1144, and again in 1146, Grand Prince Vsevolod Olhovych of Kyiv tried to take Zveny- horod by force.^ It was also in 1144 that Volodymyrko made Halych his new capital,^ possibly because ofthattown’s more favourable location on one ofthe 1.

Written sources tell us nothing about how people lived in the medievaltown.Consequentlyscholarshavetorelyonarchaeologytoreconstruct its history. Systematic archaeological study of Zvenyhorod began only in the 1950s.^ Some of the most interesting results, however, came from the excava- tions conducted during the 1980s.^ In 1982 Ihor K. Svieshnikov began digging in the northeastern section ofthe lower, commercial part ofthe medieval town. According to an eighteenth-century map, the area that he excavated had been inundated by a pond, and in more recent times it was covered by a swamp.
