of the coin complex discovered during archaeological research of 2019 on the
territory of the hillfort called Saraishyq. The total number of coins is 140 items. Two of
these are silver coins of the 15th century, the rest are copper pūls of the 14th century and of the turn
of the 14th and 15th centuries. In four excavation
units, medieval house buildings were revealed to be filled with soil at the
end of the 14th century. In the 15th century, more
building remains as well as subsequent burials have been deposited there. As
a result, archaeologists most often may deal with redeposited
occupation layers, and numismatic finds could hardly have been associated
with undisturbed contexts at the site. It is perhaps due to the desolation of
the occupation area under study, that the overall composition of the coin
complex displays a break in coin losses in the 1360s — 1370s. In the 14th
century until the 1360s, local markets were provided with pūls
bearing names of mints located in the |
