The Romashkino (Staroromashkino) archaeological complex is the remains of a fairly large Bolgar city of the pre-Mongol period. The paper presents the results of the studies by Elabuga archaeological expeditions carried out at the site since 2013. Based on the study of the identifi ed objects and excavation material, the time of the settlement's functioning was determined as the second half of the 10th – the fi rst third of the 13th centuries. The vast collection of fi nds demonstrates the complex ethnic-cultural composition of the population. Interesting conclusions were made about the groups of ceramics of the population of the Kama-Ural origin.
