Abstract

In 2002 several chambergraves from the 10th century were excavated in the old town of Kiev. The richest equipped female grave — chambergrave No. 49, 1999 — from beneath the St. Michael’s Golden Domes from the city of Izyaslaus/Izjaslavs and the most important of the male chambergraves from the city of Vladimir are focused in this article. The breast jewellery and a round filigree decorated brooch from the female grave as well as the sword with its scabbard’s chape and the metal fittings of a leather bag from the male grave are taken into special consideration. Concerning construction and equipment a close connection to the chambergraves from Birka can be detected. The dead belonged to a leading person subgroup which via Scandinavia got into contact with west European Christianity.
