[KavkazUzel] A large number of coins in the form of two treasures were found by archaeologists following the workers who were improving the city square in Derbent and stumbled upon a complex of the 11th-12th centuries. "During the excavation of the archaeological complex of the XI-XII centuries, copper coins were found in the central square of the city of Derbent. The complex itself was discovered in the course of a comprehensive improvement of the city square," the press service of the Derbent administration reported. Two hoards with a large number of coins were located in one of the investigated rooms. One hoard was a collection of coins, while in the second they were scattered across the floor. The coins will be exhibited in the Derbent Historical, Architectural and Archaeological Museum-Reserve, the press service of the mayor's office said. "In Derbent, it is a rather unique case that such a number of coins were left in a dwelling," Interfax quotes Kydyrali Shaushev, a researcher at the Scientific and Production Center for Tourism and Local History, Kydyrali Shaushev. The "Caucasian Knot" wrote earlier that in October scientists from the Novosibirsk Institute of Archeology and Ethnography of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences found tools and objects of the Early and Middle Paleolithic era in the Derbent region of Dagestan |
