Abstract

The paper presents the results of archaeological excavations within the residential area of the fortified posad of Tyumen. The earliest period of habitation in this area dates back to the XVII century. Two household structures, a cellar and an underground storage, dated to the XVIII – the first half of the XIX century, have been identified. These structures were deepened into the earth to a depth of 1.7–1.9 meters and constructed using log-building techniques. In the middle of the XIX century, some of the household structures were demolished, and the newly cleared area was repurposed to expand the trading area near the Merchant Court (Gostiny Dvor). For the first time in dating archaeological wood, a method based on reflecting the Earth’s geomagnetism during the growth of arboreal plants was used. The obtained results demonstrate the prospects of its application for regions where there are no developed dendro-scales. An additional advantage of this method in dating archaeological objects is the ability to use fragmented material.
