Кыласово городище, Archaeological settlement at Kylasovo, Perm Krai, Russia.
Kylasovo is a former fortified settlement situated on a high cape 7 to 8 meters above a stream tributary, covering roughly 2.7 hectares. The site featured a 3.5-meter rampart reinforced with a wooden stockade and protective ditch, located about 800 meters southeast of Kylasovo village.
The settlement existed from the 9th to the 15th century and served as a defensive position for the region. It was an important location for the Rodanovo culture during a period of trade and territorial influence.
The excavation reveals how people from the Rodanovo culture lived, with remains of homes and workshops scattered across the site. Visitors can observe the objects they used daily, from tools and household items to jewelry and weapons.
The site is accessible on foot from Kylasovo village and open to visitors as a protected federal heritage area. The best time to visit is during drier months when the ground is more easily walkable.
Excavations uncovered Arabic and Central Asian coins, revealing that this remote location participated in trade networks spanning vast distances. These unexpected discoveries show connections that extended far beyond the local region.
