In 1991–1992 in expedition led by R. Orlov the excavations of a multilayer site was carried out. It was located in Kyjevo-Svjatoshyn district of Kyiv region at 1,6 km from eastern part of Zhornivka village in a direction on South-East. The objects of Zarubynetska culture, the household pits and a Middle Age dwelling, the remains of the foundation of stone cult building, remains of brick sarcophagus near this building, burials on church cemetery dated by Middle Age and Modern Age times were discovered on the site place. In December 2017, during revision of materials at the workplace of R. Orlov in Department of ancient and medieval archeology, A. Borisov found three drawings, made on tracing paper: general plan of the site in Church Place, combined plan of excavation conducted in 1991–1992 and plan of the apse of cult building. It also contained some artifacts, probably selected from the general collection for the creation of illustrations, and in a separate package – anthropological materials from several graves of the medieval cemetery. Single-apse church of the moderate size was constructed using the bar bricks with grooves on its surface. By its features, this brick is very close to the material of the repairs and alterations which were made to certain Kievan churches constructed during the Premongol period. One of the burials cut into the ruins included the
types of the ornaments which are limiting the date of destruction of the church to the 13th century. In the course of the excavations, the architectural type of the church was defined as the one without internal buttresses. However the revision of the field records gives the ground for possible remodelling of the cross-in-square church with 4 pillars. The results of these investigations were not published by the author for unknown reasons. In spring of 2019, complex of sites near Zhornivka village was re-examined. In an area of about 5,4 hectares numerous ceramic materials of XVII–XVIII centuries were recorded. They indicate existence here of large settlement in Late Middle Ages, which probably occupied the whole territory of cape-like outlier, bounded from north and south by deep ravines. In 2019 on September, 30 could be a 70th anniversary of Ruslan Orlov. The publishing of the investigation results of 1991–1992 is a best way for honoring memory of researcher on our opinion.

Die Ostwolynscher Expedition IA NAdW der Ukraine führt die archäologischen Untersuchungen auf dem Territorium Žitomir Gebiets viel Jahre durch.
Die Expedition hat neuer Siedlungen der römischen Zeit geöffnet. Die wissenschaftliche Bedeutung der enthüllten Fundorten ist von ihrer besonderen geographischen Lage und den spezifischen ethnokulturellen Merkmalen bedingt. Die Fundorten sind in zwei territorialen Gruppen aufgestellt. «Südgruppe» aus sieben Punkten ist in den Oberläufen des Flusses Irscha enthüllt, «Nordgruppe» aus drei Siedlungen befindet sich in den Oberläufen des Flusses Ubort.
Das tönerne Geschirr ist nur von den Bruchstücken vorgestellt. Einige Fragmente der modellierten Keramik konnten den Töpfen «elbisches Typs» gehören. Einige Muster der modellierten Behälter haben die speziell grob gemachte Oberfläche, einige ihnen haben die Spuren von Kamm nach dem Ton. Die Töpfermuster schenken die üchenkeramik mit der guten und grob bearbeiteten Oberfläche.
Alle Fundorten, außer der Töpferkeramik der Černjachov-Kultur, enthalten die modellierte Keramik mit den ausdrucksvollen ostgermanische Merkmalen.
Beide territorialen Gruppen der Siedlungen befinden sich weit nach dem Norden vom Hauptareal die Černjachov-Kulturen (innerhalb Žitomir Gebiets).
«Südgruppe» der Fundorten ist von den Haupt-grenzen der Černjachov-Kultur für 40—70 km nach dem Norden gelegen. Die Landschaft, wo diese Gruppe mit Wielbark-Strichen gelegen ist, ist der natür-liche Komplex der Waldsteppe des Hauptareales der Černjachov-Kultur sehr ähnlich.
«Nordgruppe» der Siedlungen im Schwimmbad des Flusses Ubort ist in 90 km nach dem Norden von der Grenze des Hauptareales der Černjachov-Kultur gelegen.
Die neuen Fundorten aus spätromische Zeit in der Waldzone Žitomir Gebiets sind von uns auf dem Territorium gefunden, wo bis zur Zeit die Fundorten der späten römischen Zeit nicht bekannt waren. Diese Fundorten auf dem vorliegenden Territorium sind wie für das Studium der Genesis der altertümlichsten slawischen Kultur, als auch für die Forschung der Probleme der Volkerwanderungs Zeit sehr wichtig.

The paper is represents results of searching in a field of fortified settlements (35 hilltop fortified settlements and castles). These sites were discovered by Ovruch and East-Volyn expeditions of Archaeology institute of National academy of science (Ukraine) on a territory of North Zhytomyr region (within the limits of middle age Ovruch district (called Ovruch volost) on a Ovruch mountain-ridge.
Results of investigations the core of hilltop fortified settlements in an Ovruch volost (Ovruch, Horodets’, Noryns’k, Lystvyn, Slovechne, Zbran’ky) viewed separetly. Information about new old russ hilltop fortified settlements is put into science circulation. These are such sites as Kremne – Putylovychi, Velykyi Dyvlyn – Buchmany, Ryzhany. Searching results of annalistic old russ sities Myches’k and Ushes’k and historic settlements (which are now districts centers – Korosten’, Malyn, Olevs’k, Narodychi, Volodars’k-Volyns’kyi, Luhyny, Yemil’chyne) are also expounded in details.
In a special way is investigated hilltop fortified settlements which are known in a science literature and in archaeology documents and papers of Protection Department. The partly known information about this sites necessitated a special verification.
The new prospects and issue of the day in a field of researching the hilltop fortified settlements and small towns are also briefly investigated. All these aspects are illustrated according to the methods of analizing of fortified settlements which are developed by authors.

The results of long-term investigations on the territory of Ovruch Volost (district) realized by the Ovruch expedition and latest excavations in Kiev on the sites of the Archangel Michael Monastery, the Dormition Church of the Kiev Cave Monastery and the Tithe Church let the researchers raise a question about the use of pyrophyllites and quartzites from Ovruch in the building works in Southern Rus.
On the territory of the Ovruch-Slovechno mountain ridge entire regions, sites, settlements and workshops that once specialized in slate industry have been discovered. Also, the medieval open-cast mines have been found and investigated. The exploitation of the main varieties of pyrophyllitic slate used to be practiced in those places.
The unique complex of natural resources, on the one hand, and favourable social, political, religious and economic conditions, on the other hand, made the start of the Ovruch slate industry possible. The very mineral, i.e. pyrophyllitic slate, has many useful natural qualities. The slate industry is distinguished by the high degree of the development of the
manufacture process, the high level of standartization and good quality of the manufactured products. The volume of the manufactured products and used material was outstandingly enormous. At the same time, the products manufactured from pyrophyllitic slate were associated with a high status and high price.
One of the main fields in the structure of the Ovruch pyrophyllitic industry was supply for the construction of monumental churches and palaces. Pyrophyllite was used in their foundations, walls, stairs, cornices of arches, bases and capitals of the columns, templons, lintels, gallery thresholds, decorated carved slabs, flat floor slabs and slabs for opus sectile and others. This material was also used for arcophagi and tombstones.
This paper is an attempt at remodelling the quantity, volume and weight characteristics of various slate types (varying in colour, morphology etc.) which were in use as decorative elements (wall belts, reliefs, floors etc) and sarcophagi in Kiev churches. These data is discussed together with the specific qualities of the pyrophyllite slate deposition in the places of its mining and with the possibility of its open-mine extraction in Old Rus time.
The questions of the use of the Ovruch red quartzite in monumental buildings of Old Rus are also considered.
