This paper raises methodological issues of radiocarbon (14C) dating of historical events based on data obtained during the excavations of the Russian medieval city of Yaroslavl. The city is of special interest to our study because of the precise time of its destruction by troops of Batu Khan mentioned in chronicles—the winter of 1238. To date in Yaroslavl, researchers have discovered 9 mass burials of citizens and domestic animals buried sometime after the massacre by the Mongols. Mass burials of people alongside animals in a common grave and outside of the cemetery, in violation of Christian traditions, are not typical of medieval Russia and are a sign of a military catastrophe. To test this hypothesis, we dated a total of 65 samples representing all 9 mass burials. A Bayesian chronological model of the accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dates narrowed the interval to the range of 1197–1280 cal AD, with the mean age of 1239 AD, consistent with the hypothesis that the studied mass burials of citizens and livestock are related to the capture of the city by the army of Batu Khan.

13 世纪初俄罗斯古城雅罗斯拉夫的灭绝:精确约会的漫长旅程

本文提出了放射性碳的方法学问题(14C) 根据俄罗斯中世纪城市雅罗斯拉夫尔发掘期间获得的数据对历史事件进行测年。这座城市对我们的研究特别感兴趣,因为编年史中提到了它被巴图汗军队摧毁的确切时间——1238 年冬天。迄今为止,研究人员在雅罗斯拉夫尔发现了 9 座市民和家畜的大规模墓葬蒙古人的大屠杀。违反基督教传统,在公墓和公墓外将人与动物一起大规模埋葬,这不是中世纪俄罗斯的典型,是军事灾难的征兆。为了验证这一假设,我们对代表所有 9 个集体墓葬的总共 65 个样本进行了约会。加速器质谱 (AMS) 日期的贝叶斯年代模型将区间缩小到公元 1197-1280 年的范围内,
