Abstract. The subject of this research is the history, chronology and archaeological artifacts from the Kemerova village (Kemirova, Komarova, Temirova). The research is a part of a scientific topic of exploring Russian settlements in the Tom' River region of the XVII-XIX centuries. The aim of this work is to identify the archaeological layer structure, determine the stages of Kemerovo village site development using stratigraphic data and archaeological objects, to compare the archaeological data with the results of written and cartographic sources.

The archaeological research results showed two archaeological layers well stratigraphically recognizable. The lower archaeological layer contains artifacts of the middle of the XVIII century - the cusp of the XIX-XX centuries. So, it is about pre-industrial rural society' life. The upper layer separated from the lower one by a layer containing some coal dates from the XX century. The artifacts bear witness of how the village was transforming into a industrial township. Comparison of the archaeological data and other historical sources materials highlights the need to find cultural remains of Kemerova village emerging period and a clearer differentiation of the middle of the XVIII-XIX centuries which requires further researches on the site.

The area of use of the received results includes not only the history of Kemerovo but also issues of emergence and development of Russian and other ethnic groups' settlements in the XVII-XIX centuries in the Tom' River basin.

It can be suggested that Kemerova village with the other Kemerovo rural settlements (Krasnaia, Shcheglova-Ust'-Iskitim, Kuchukovy Yurty / Ulus-Mozzhukha, Evseeva, Borovaia and others) formed the urban territory. In this context, the role of Kemerova village is not only in using its name for the mine, the train station and, finally, for the city but the early idea of connection of this rural settlement with the «burnt hill», coal deposits (1721) which defined the further industrial potential of Kemerovo.

Аннотация. Предметом исследования является история, хронология и археологические артефакты деревни Кемерово (Кемеровой, Кемерова, Комарово, Кемiрова, Темирова). Исследование представляет собой часть научной темы по изучению русских сельских поселений Притомья XVII-XIX вв. Цель работы - выявить структуру культурного слоя, определить по стратиграфии и археологическим предметам этапы развития памятника деревня Кемерово, сопоставить данные археологии с результатами изучения письменных и картографических источников.

Результаты археологических изысканий показали наличие двух культурных слоев, хорошо выделяющихся с точки зрения стратиграфии. Нижний культурный слой, в котором представлены артефакты середины XVIII в. - рубежа Х1Х-ХХ в. Следовательно, он связан с жизнью доиндустриального деревенского сообщества. Верхний культурный слой, отделяющийся от нижнего слоя прослойкой с угольными вкраплениями, относящейся к первой трети XX в. Артефакты свидетельствуют

о превращении деревни в шахтерский рабочий поселок. Сравнение археологических данных с материалами других исторических источников указывают на необходимость выявления культурных останков начального периода возникновения деревни Кемерово, и более четкой дифференциации материалов середины XVШ-XIX вв., что требует дальнейших исследований на территории памятника.

Область применения полученных результатов включает не только историю города Кемерово, но вопросы возникновения и развития сельских поселений русских и других этнических групп в XVII-XIX вв. в бассейне р. Томи. Основные выводы: полученные результаты позволяют выделить два периода (доиндустриальный и ранний индустриальный) в истории деревни Кемерово до ее включения в черту города Щегловска (с 27 марта 1932 г. Кемерово). Можно предположить, что деревня Кемерово наряду с другими «кемеровскими» сельскими поселениями (Красная, Щеглова - Усть-Искитим, Кучуковы юрты / Улус-Мозжуха, Евсеева, Боровая и др.)) сформировали городскую территорию. В этом контексте роль деревни Кемерово определяется не только перенесением ее названия на рудник, железнодорожную станцию и в конечном итоге на город, но и ранним формированием представлений о связи этого сельского поселения с «горелой горой», угольными залежами (1721 г.), определившими в дальнейшем промышленный потенциал города Кемерово.

Introduction

Questions of archaeological research of the Russian rural and urban settlements in the Tom' River region in the XVII-XIX centuries have been risen several times in scientific literature. The researches in Tomsk territory, where archaeological study started in the XIX century, can serve a role model. The excavations of Tomsk fortress and voivode's house (Chernaia, 1992; 1997; 2015) are well known. On the territory of Kuzbass, the first studies were conducted in 1930-s in Kuznetsk Ostrog (fortress) area which has been excavated several times since that time. The surveys and studies of Novokuznetsk archaeological sites resulted in numerous findings of the XVII-XIX centuries (Shirin, 1993; 2000; 2003; 2006; 2012; 2015 et al.). In the second half of 1970-s - 1980-s in the area of planned Krapivinskyi hydroelectric power station reservoir, settlements with layers of different periods including Russian period layers Saltymakovo III, Glinka, Lachinovo I and others were found (Okuneva, 2006). During the last decades, the Tom' River region Russian settlements studies became regular which resulted in finding of a range of

sites with layers of the XVII-XIX centuries -Zhurgavan' I, Beregovaia I, Pisannaia II, Iva-novka I, Kulakovo II and III, Bondareva Gora and others (Ziniakov, Bashtannik, Sokolov, Savel'eva, 2009; Shirin, 2010; 2012; 2013; 2015; Marochkin, German, 2011; Marochkin, Plats, Kononchuk, 2015; Marochkin, Iurako-va, Shcherbakova, Plats, Fal'man, Kononchuk, Veretennikov, 2015; Marochkin, Sizev, Plats, Kononchuk, 2017; Marochkin, Iurakova, Plats, Sizev, Veretennikov, Kononchuk, Shcherbakova, Minina, Fal'man, 2018; Sizev, 2017; Sizev, Plats, 2018 et al.).

2. Statement of the problem

In spite of considerable achievements in the researches of the Russian population in the Tom' River region of the XVII-XIX centuries, the territory of Kemerovo was practically archaeologically unknown which made a big difference with the situation in Novokuznetsk and Tomsk. Besides some occasional findings made by local people, illegal «black» archaeologists, there were no legal excavations in Kemerovo until 2018. Only in 2018, according to the first Permit for archaeological surveys

in Kemerovo, some material was collected on the territory of the Russian villages known from historical documents of XVIII, and reconnaissance excavations were conducted on the territory of Kemerova village (Kemirova, Komarova).

3. Methods

The study of the cartographic materials of 1736 and 1827 allowed us to identify the borders of Kemerova (Komarova) village in late 1820-s and its internal planning. The layer by layer (conventional horizons) fixation of findings in resonaissance digs allowed us to attribute the artifacts to different periods of the settlement. Comparative and typological study and analogy method allowed us to date some household items (first of all the ware).

4. Kemerova village

The name of the settlement of Kemerova (Kemirova, Temirova, Komarova) was first mentioned in the diary note of 28 April 1721 of a German naturalist, researcher of Siberia D. G. Messerschmidt. The note was made in Tomsk by Ph. J. Strahlenberg, a Swedish captive officer who followed the naturalist: «We have heard from lieutenant Ehnberg... between Komarova and Krasnaia village there must be coal» (Messerschmidt, 1962: 93).

This coal deposit (upper the river Tom' seven versts (7.47 km) from Verkhotomskii Os-trog, «red burnt hill» twenty sazhens high (42.6 m) will be studied and a mineral sample will be taken on 11 September 1721 by P. Pruftzen's expedition according to the order by Mikhai-lo Volkov, a Cossack's son from Tobolsk (Perevalov, 2003: doc. 7).

So the first form of the toponym is Koma-rova. Members of the Second Kamchatka expedition of S. P. Krasheninnikov and G. F. Müller of 1734 mention a new form of the toponym: «The red rock on the same side from Shchegla-kova village in 4 [versts] (4.27 km). This rock's length is 1 verst (1.067 km). At its edge there is Kemerova village, 1 [verst] (1.067 km) from Shcheglakova»; «Kemerova is 8 verst (8.54 km) from the ostrog on the Eastern side [of the Tom'] at the creek of the river Akaeva; Shche-glova or Krasnoiarskaia, on the Eastern side, 1

verst (1.067 km) from the previous one» (Elert, 1988: 94).

On the «Map of Tomsk and Kuznetsk uezds (regions)» made by the land-surveyor V. Shishkov in 1736, the village is named as v. Kemirova (Fig. 1).

In spite of the fact that later «Kemerova» will become the main toponym form (first of all, in registration records and lists of settlements), the works of geologists and some cartographic sources of the late XIX - early XX centuries show a stable tradition of naming the village with the first toponym form (see examples in: Kovtun, 2012: 25). The toponym form of Temirova is an example of folk etymology and connected to the specific to the Russian dialects switching of guttural consonants to me-siopalatal ones, in particular, from K to T.

Sources contain also different hydronims for the water source near the village. As mentioned above, G.-F. Müller pointed the location of the settlement at the river Akaeva, which was mentioned in some sources later. However, the river Alykaevka (correct name) flows to the river Tom' a little bit lower, and Kemerova village was situated on the river Krutoi separating now Rudnichnyi and Kirovskii districts of Kuzbass capital city.

Direct data about the village founders haven't been found. According to V. A. Mogilnikov, it was a farmworker Afana-sii Stepanovich Kemirov (born in 1693, died before 1742) (Mogil'nikov, 1993: 127). His father, a plougher of Verkhotomskyi Ostrog Stepan Kemirov, is mentionned in «farm work-er» books for 1682-1706. However, according to I. V. Kovtun, the first form of toponym allows us to suggest that the settlement could be founded by M. Volkov's team-mate, ore specialist Fiodor Komarov/Komar (Kovtun, 2012: 32). In «Tomsk Uezd Inventory Revision Book» of 1703, among farm workers-»sent people» of Verkhotomskii Ostrog who «live in the town suburb and do work and handmade things for a living and pay to the Tsar some amount of bread-corn instead of desiatina (land measure equivalent to 2.7 acres)» was «Fiodor Kamar, single, pays with a quarter of rye, oatmeal as well»1.

According to the order from 22 June 1759, Tomsk Uezd farm workers including Kemerova village ones were assigned to Kolyvano-Voskresenskii mining plant. According to the administrative and territory reform of 1782, the settlements of Verkhotomskaia sloboda (district) were handed over from Tomsk uezd to Kuznetsk uezd (Uskov, 2011: 59).

In the second half of the XIX century, a new stage of the history of this place begins. The development of Siberian industry, in particular, steam navigation made the need in solid fuel constantly grow. In August of 1878, in order to check if the rumors about illegal coal mining near Kemerova village were true, a mining engineer Bogdanov was sent there, and he reported that local farm workers mined coal to sale it in Tomsk (Uskov, 2011: 111). In spite of further prohibition, they continued coal mining.

After approving «The Regulations for a private coal mining industry in Altai County», the rural society of farm workers in Kemerova village received a part of land for solid fuel mining (the rest three parts of

land with coal were given to private actors. The conditions were very favorable with no payment to the owner of the deposit. The farm workers-miners had to follow the regulations of mining work. However, these regulations were not followed and already the following year, the private industry regulations function was ceased and the parts of land with coal were taken back (Mamontov, 1910: 19-31).

Only in 1907, the General Administration of Altai County started industrial coal mining. On 28 August (10 September of the Gregorian calendar) the first mine was founded at Kemerova digging pit (Mamontov, 1910: 43). This date is considered to be the date of Kem-erovskii mine foundation. The following development of the mine is connected to the Kopi-kuz Stock Company (1912-1919), and Kuzbass Autonomous Industrial Colony (1922-1926). In January 1928, Kemerova village became an industrial township, and at the end of the same year was included into the Shcheglovsk town boundaries together with Kemerovskii mine (Uskov, 2011: 200).

5. Archaeological researches

In spring of 2018, reconaissance excavations were conducted on the cape of the Kru-toi stream's right bank at its junction with the river Tom' (Fig. 2). The choice of the location of study is based first of all on the cartographic materials and written sources, which determine the creek area as the location of the first Russian settlement in the first half - middle of the XVIII century. Kemerova land survey plan of 1827 locates residential and household buildings at this precise place (Fig. 3). The second reason was the fact that nowadays, the chosen place was partly free of the dense private houses development of Kirovskii district of Kemerovo.

The anthropogenic impact on the site can hardly be overestimated - annual plowing to grow gardens, periodic building some constructions, earth and asphalt roads. However, at the same time, private low-rise houses construction of this part of Kirovskii district preserves to some extent the cultural layer of the historical settlement protecting it from a complete destruction in case of major urban construction work.

During the first inspection of the location on exposed surfaces and ploughland, some material including 41 items was collected. Some fragments of factory made porcelain dishes and glazed pottery were found in single pieces. The biggest part of collected objects presents

Russian pottery fragments made on a potter's wheel without glaze and pattern. Locals provided us coins found in different periods during earthwork. This proves that some parts of the cultural layer of the XVIII-XIX centuries settlement were preserved.

In 2018, a river bank test rabotage and earth breaking for two reconaissance excavations with surface of 6 m2 x 4 m2 were done. Obtained data are enough to specify the strati-graphic and archaeological context of the artifacts in terms of their periodization.

The stratigraphic situation in different parts of the site is completely similar (Fig. 4). It should be noticed that its «purest» and representative form was found during the test rabotage of the river bank. With distance from the river bank, formed layer sequence partly destroyed by household pits of the XX century which is well seen on the stratigraphic sondage profiles. Stratigraphy of the test rabotage No 1: 1) Poor sod with parts of vegetable soil and roots of vegetations - less than 1 cm thick.

2) Dark-gray humus clay loam soil with numerous droplets of yellow clay loam, small glass, break-stone, and brick fragments up to 20 cm. It lay at the depth from 1 cm along all rabotage surface.

3) A layer of coal crumbs - up to 0.7 cm. It was between the layer No 1 and No 3 at depth 20-22 cm. It is fixed along all rabotage surface.

4) Brown humus with high content of vegetable soil - up to 45 cm thick. It occupied all rabotage surface at depth 20 cm and more from the modern daylight surface. The layer was formed during manuring and composting by villagers. In the eastern part of the rabotage surface in this layer a pit 35 cm large and 45 cm deep was found.

5) Dark-gray humus sand clay with rare inclusions of small gravels - up to 52 cm thick. It occupied all rabotage surface at the depth 55 and deeper. This layer is similar to the layer No 1, but the color of the soil is lighter.

6) Yellow «bed-rock» clay-loam soil - it laid at the depth 105-110 cm.

Fig. 4. Stratigraphic summary table - photos of test rabotage and sondage walls

with layer explanation

So, the stratigraphic base of the site are the layers 2, 4, 5, 6, but their archaeological density is different.

The layer No 2 which besides filling the later pits, mostly contains objects of the XX century (wire nails, 1930-s - 1940-s coins, a coal mining token etc), with some single earlier ceramics.

The layer No 4 contains a massive amount of non-glazed pottery with rare forged iron objects.

The layer No 5 is archaeologically sterile except for a single fragment of a ceramic vessel edge decorated with a comb pattern (appeal-

ingly, more ancient). Test excavation of the layer No 6 didn't result in any artifacts.

The chrono-stratigraphical principle is well shown in the trend of distribution of non-glazed pottery in the first sondage in the conventional horizons 20 cm thick (Diagram 1).

The diagram shows the clear correlation of this most massive category of findings with the layer No 4 which has the same depth as 4-5 conventional horizons. A broken ceramic vessel found in situ on the lower boundary of the layer No 4 in the first sondage serves an evidence of this. 4).

1. Porcelain saucers fragments - 5 pces. A fragment from the test rabotage No 1 has a manufacturer's stamp -»lfz» - Leningrad Lomonosov Porcelain Factory The color and specific lettering of the stamp allowed us to identify that the objects with such stamps were manufactured in 1950-s.

2. Iron thimbles - 2 pces. Both objects are severely rusted.

• A thimble of a regular trapezoidal shape with a flat top. Dimentions: 2 x 2 cm.

• A thimble of a conical shape with a round top and numerous prick marks. The inner surface is threaded. Dimensions: 2 x 2.4 cm.

3. Domino - 1 pce. Made of wood and covered with red varnish. Dimensions: -3.7 x 2.4 x 0.7 cm

4. Coins - 3 pces:

• 1 kopeck coin of 1930-1 piece.

• 10 kopecks coin of 1945-1 piece.

• 5 kopecks coin of 1945-1 piece.

5. Coal mining token - 1 pce. The token is of a round shape 3,5 cm in diameter. It has a hole to be hung. The front side has some impressions: «K. R.» (Kemerovskii rudnik - Ke-merovskii mine), «DOWN», «1171», «A.I. K.» (Autonomous Industrial Colony). Number 1171 must be the token number. Above this impression, there is another bigger one - a number «4» which must be the number of the mine or the face.

Those objects were used in 1920-s at Kemerovskii mine located nearby, where a large part of Kemerova people worked.

1. Forged iron nails - 2 pces. Found during the sondage No 1 at the boundary of the layer No 4. Both objects were up to 10 cm long, with rectangular cross-section and massive head.

2. Copper belt buckle frame - 1 pce. Found during the sondage No 2 (layer No 4). The object is of a trapezoidal shape, no prong. Dimensions: -3.5 x 3 cm

3. Russian glazed ceramics fragments - 9 pces. Found in rabotage and during both sondages (layers 3, 4). Only body fragments were found, so it is impossible to determine the morphology of this group. The glaze color varies from brown to green. Wall thikness: 0.7-0.9 mm.

4. Black polished ware - 1 bottom fragment found during the sondage No 1 (layer No 4). It has a specific gloss and marks of one direction polishing movements on the external and internal surface. Black color. Wall thickness - 1.1 cm.

5. Non-glazed pottery - 311 fragments of bodies and edges. They were found in all three

archaeological exposures but mostly during the sondage No 1 (layer No 4). According to the fragments, all ware of this group is tall profiled flat-bottomed vessels with straight and folded edge. They all were made on a potter's wheel which is proved by specific marks of one direction polishing movements on the external and internal surface. The color of paste on fracture is brown or black. Wall thickness varies from 0.7 to 1.1 cm.

Discussion

The artifact assemblage (XVIII-XIX centuries) excavated or occasionally found by locals reflects well established manufacturing and every day life structures in Kemerova village. The earliest date for this settlement which has been archaeologically proved so far is the middle of the XVIII century. An earlier layer (if any) corresponding to the time of foundation and the first decade of Kemerova village can

be discovered only in further archaeological studies.

Furthermore, dating of the objects of the middle - second half of the XVIII century is complicated by the fact that besides coins and black polished ware, other findings can be from the second half of the XVIII century as well as the first half or the last quarter of the XIX century. Researchers (see Shirin, 2003; 2006 2015; Sizev, 2017; Marochkin, Iurakova, Plats, Sizev, Veretennikov, Kononchuk, Shcherbakova, Minina, Fal'man, 2018) have not determined clear criteria to distinguish Russian settlement material of the XVII-XIX centuries more in detail based on particular chronological assemblages.

Results

In conclusion, we should take note of multiple mentioning of the village of Kemerova (Kemirova, Komarova) in sources of the first

half of the XVIII century. If the village foundation date is polemic and can be conventionally outlined by the first decade of the XVIII century, the existence of an established settlement in 1721 is beyond question.

The results of the archaeological excavations allow us to make the following conclusions:

1) The site contains at least two archaeological layers which differ in morphology and artifact chronology. The difference in color of the upper and lower parts (layers No 2 and No 4) depends on the amount of vegetable soil which is high in the pre-industrial period and much lower since the moment when the village becomes an industrial township of Kemerovskii mine. The change of the economic set-up was very quick which can explain well the clear border between the layers in some parts highlighted with a layer of coal crumbs.

2) The artifacts from the layer No 4 definitely belong to the Russian population of the village of the XVIII - the beginning of the XX centuries. On the territory of the Middle Tom' River several sites with similar materials have been explored and excavated: Saltymakovo III, Azhendarovo II, Glinka, Lachinovo I, Kuria IVa, Sosnovka IV, Prorva II, Arsenal'skoe I, Bedarevo II, Erunakovo II, Beregovaia I, Zhur-

The specificity of the ceramic assemblage of Kemerova village consists in simple pottery without decoration. It is noteworthy that it contain a small amount of glazed, polished or decorated ware.

3) The question of the internal periodiza-tion of Kemerova village early assemblage is still open. The precise dating of found objects, in particular the distinguishing of the XVIII and XIX centuries artifacts can be possible only for numismatic materials. Such differentiation of mass ceramic ware cannot be possible for uniformity of type and sameness of Russian pottery during the whole mentioned period. However, black polished ware fragments with coins found earlier justify dating of a part of the early assemblage of the middle - second half of the XVIII century.
