Showcase XXV


Similar to other Byzantine cities, mediaeval Cherson had its lands located in the environs. Many city-dwellers combined industries with farming in the spots of land located near their houses or outside their city. They cultivated grapes, cereals, fruits, vegetables, and industrial crops. They also processed agricultural products to make wine, flour and to bake bread.

In the left part of the vitrine, there are agricultural implements used in tillage, such as iron shares of wooden plough and mattocks, and for harvesting, like sickles, curved scythes, and winegrower's knife. At the bottom, you can see miller's tools: stone millstones, mortars, plates with burnt grape seeds, millet, rye, barley, wheat, beans, and also remains of rye bread charred in fire.
