Troitsky dugout, Archaeological site in Veliky Novgorod, Russia.
The Troitsky excavation site reveals seven meters of cultural layers containing residential structures, streets, and everyday objects from medieval Novgorod.
Excavations at the site uncovered over 1000 birch bark letters and the oldest Slavic book made of waxed tablets from the early 11th century.
The site displays 20 mansion houses from different centuries, including the 12th-century studio of painter Olisey Grechin, showing medieval urban development.
The Theatre of Time section allows visitors to observe ongoing excavations, purchase archaeological souvenirs, and access designated photography areas during warm months.
Each layer of the seven-meter-deep excavation presents a different century of Novgorod life, from modern surface to medieval streets beneath.
