Abstract

This paper features the preliminary results of a study of the lower building horizon of the Kraskino hillfort. It was the center of a district of the capital region of the Bohai state (698–926). The site also operated as a port, which was the sea gate of Bohai. The sea route to Japan began from its walls. The author considers the buildings horizons of the temple complex territory, residential quarters and the road. This study intends to provide information on the correlation of the results of studying the lower horizon of residential buildings, the lower horizon of the road near the temple territory, and the foundation of a stone block wall built at the initial stage of the construction of fortifications. The lower horizon at Kraskino settlement is considered to belong to an early stage of its existence, when it was still a settlement. Residential and utility buildings, as well as other basic elements of the planning structure of the site are characterized. The spatial organization and building density of the hillfort are analyzed. Archaeological materials related to the early stage of the site’s existence are systematized. The material and spiritual culture of the population of this period is considered, which is represented by tools, weapons, household items, Kaiyuan Tongbao coin, ornaments, game items, fragments of ceramics, roof tiles and metalworking waste. The dating of the lower boundary of the site's existence is specified, and its function is determined as a settlement of farmers, fishermen, hunters, gatherers, and artisans. It is assumed that the first Buddhist temple was built at the settlement as early as during the period in question.
