B. Melnikov, S. F. Tataurov, S. N. Tikhonov, and others (Glushkova, 1995; Bogomolov, 1996). New textile materials were obtained during the excavations of Mangazeya. The archaeological site of the late XVI-XVII centuries was first investigated in 1968-1970 by an expedition led by M. I. Belov, O. V. Ovsyannikov, and V. F. Starkov.

A huge amount of archaeological material was discovered, including organic remains preserved due to permafrost (Vizgalov, 2004; Parkhimovich, 2004). Among the unique finds, without a doubt, we can distinguish fabrics of the XVII century. Textile materials from the excavations of the NGO "Northern Archeology" were studied in the Laboratory of Life Support systems for the Peoples of the North of the Surgut Pedagogical Institute in 2004/05 academic year.Some of them are fragments with losses that make it difficult to find out the technological characteristics of the fabric, for example, samples where the threads are severely worn, torn, deformed with a shift in the structure of the woven fabric. However, the number of samples suitable for analysis is sufficient to make a qualita ... Читать далее
