 Investigations at Gorodische.Project Aims
Until recently, archaeology has only had a limited voice in the discussion, since the only well investigated site of the period was Staraja Ladoga, a main post on the North-South route towards the Byzantium of the Viking Age.
An attempt has thus been made, within the framework of EU/INTAS and other programmes (www.intas.be), to identify and investigate potential areas, which could help in understanding the web of contacts and trade going through this area beyond Russia, or Rus, and the social organisation of the societies involved.
The choice is also due to the intriguing interpretation of the Islandic sagas of Halfdanar Eysteinssonar and Gangu-Hralf pointing to Gorodische as the ancient Alaborg.
