Abstract. The article deals with wearing-apparel components, mirrors, objects of arms, horse equipment, daily life, trade and mass material, including pottery of the second half of the 13 th -14 th cc. from Shiroky Buerak settlement situated in periphery of the Golden Horde city Ukek in Saratov district of Saratov region and studied by expedition of Kazan University under supervision of L.F. Nedashkovsky in 1996Nedashkovsky in and 2001Nedashkovsky in -2002. Numismatic finds from the site, which covered area more than 6.8 ha and had the cultural layer with more than 60 cm width, belong to the Golden Horde mintage of the last third of the 13 th с. -beginning of the 1360s. Wearing-apparel components are represented by belt bracket, the armament -by fragment of bronze mace-head, horse equipment -by bit, cinch buckles and harness rings, clothes details -by button and little bell, articles of trade -by weight-seal. The daily life objects analyzed in the article include rivets, handle, fragments of vessels, piece of copper sheet, fragments of castiron cauldrons, iron bucket handle, sickle, locks, bronze coupling and fragment of bone handle of knifes, ram's knucklebone with aperture, poured with lead, awl, knifes, nails. Overall data on the mass archaeological material, including pottery wares, found on the settlement, represented by spindle-whorl, Golden Horde, Old Russian, Mordvin wares, fragments of the Trebizond amphorae and glazed vessels, is provided in the article. Morphological features of wares are examined in the article on the basis of typology with involvement of the broad comparative background of materials of synchronous monuments. This complex characterizes material culture of the Golden Horde village of the Lower Volga region, which, judging by the published materials, differed from material culture of city and town, situated nearby.

Abstract. The paper deals with the objects of armament, horse equipment and daily life from the Hmelevka I settlement of the second half of 13 th -14 th cc. The settlement is located in the Saratov Volga region and was studied by expedition of Kazan University headed by L.F. Nedashkovsky in 1995-2002. The armament is represented by fragments of axes, arrowheads and ceramic bomb; the horse equipment -by the iron framework of supporting buckle, ring from bridle, horseshoe and debacle thorns. Rivets, fragments of copper and bronze vessels, sheets, cast-iron cauldrons, iron plough blade, scythe, knives and their couplings, locks and keys make the daily life objects analyzed in the paper. We provide the data on the mass material, including ceramics (spindle-whorls, unglazed Golden Horde, Old Russian, Mordvin pottery, fragments of Trebizond amphorae, stamped vessels and fragments of glazed red-clay and kashi vessels). The broad comparative background of materials of synchronous monuments of Eastern Europe and Asia is used as a basis for studying the morphological features of metalware and pottery and to make typology. The Hmelevka I settlement can be characterized as urban site, as well as larger Uvek site, but the shown differences in material culture reflect differences in the daily life and culture of the population of the town and the city of Golden Horde, respectively. City dwellers (especially the sedentary Golden Horde aristocracy, who lived predominantly in the cities) were apparently more connected with military affairs and trade, and the population of town -with subsidiary farming and cattle breeding.

Complex of metallic objects from Bagaevka settlement, rural settlement of the Golden Horde of the second half of 13th – 14th century, situated in periphery of the Golden Horde city Ukek in Saratov area of Saratov region is analysed by the authors. The settlement was studied by expedition of Kazan University under supervision of L.F. Nedashkovsky in 1995, 2002–2003, 2006–2012 and 2014–2016. Numismatic finds from the site, which covered area 5.1 ha and has the cultural layer in some places with more than 90 cm width, belong to the Golden Horde mintage of the end of 13th – beginning of 60s of 14th century. Metallic vessels (fragments of copper forged vessels, rivet, cup, fragments of cast-iron cauldrons) were characterized in the article. Other objects are represented by mirrors, bronze couplings of knives, ware with lion figure, ingot, splashes of lead and bronze, lead weight-seal, bronze and iron locks, iron keys. Morphological features of wares are examined on the basis of typology with involvement of the comparative background of materials of synchronous monuments. Сomplex under study characterizes material culture of the Golden Horde village of the Low Volga region, which, judging by the published materials, differed from material culture of city and town, situated nearby.

В статье анализируются отдельные виды железных изделий с Багаевского селища второй половины XIII–XIV в., располагающегося в округе золотоордынского города Укека в Саратовском районе Саратовской области. Селище изучалось раскопками экспедицией Казанского университета под руководством Л.Ф. Недашковского в 2002–2003, 2006–2012, 2014–2016 и 2020–2021 гг. Площадь памятника 5,1 га, мощность культурного слоя местами достигает более 90 см. Монетные находки с поселения относятся к последней четверти XIII – началу 60-х гг. XIV в. В статье рассмотрены железные гвозди, скобы, пробои, иглы, шилья, черешки, фрагмент проволоки, звено цепи, пинцет, фрагмент орудия, скобель, серп, рыболовный крючок, фрагменты косы, пилы и неопределенные изделия. Данный комплекс характеризует материальную культуру золотоордынского села Нижнего Поволжья.
