Antiquities of Fatyan cultures – the funeral round-bottom spherical ceramic ware, stone polished axes-hammers with a round aperture date from the Bronze Age. The Fatyan’s people achieved the highest skill in manufacturing stone drilled fighting axes-hammers. A man's skull from a tomb of one Kuzminsky burial ground (at the Kuzmino village of the Sergiev-Posad area) has been especially studied in details by known Soviet anthropologist M.M.Gerasimov and serve to he as the basis for reconstruction of the head of the person of Fatyan culture (it is in an exposition).
The collection of antiquities of the early Iron Age and the early Middle Ages descend from excavation of the Kikinsky site of ancient settlement on the Velya River. Iron spears and arrows, knifes and awls are found on a site of ancient settlement along with bone tools of work and the weapon. Iron slags, clay nozzles-tubes for air forcing in the little blast furnace, little ladies - clay spoons for bronze pouring in process manufacturing of ornaments are found on the Kikinsky site of ancient settlement. These are pendants, ear rings, plaques-braids, signet-rings, temporal rings, clasps on clothes. Ceramic crockery of the early Iron Age - flat-bottomed pots (to 20 liter volume), bowls, tiny vessels - are roughly model from clay, their ornament is extremely modest.
Beads, foundry forms, rattles were produced also from ceramics. Typical finds for Dyakovsky settlements are moulded of clay so-called “plummets of Dyakov type”. They, as a rule, have a conic form, with gear edges, in the centre - the transparent channel.

The Ratkovsky soil burial ground belonging, apparently, to medieval Finns – “muromian” and “merya” - was opened in 1996 on the Dubna River. Date VII-IX centuries. The Funeral ceremony is similar to others “merya” and “muromian” burial grounds: remains of the cremation dead body with the burnt down and melted off subjects were located in small superficial holes or land constructions - so-called “small houses dead”. The burial ground stock (that put in a tomb together with late) is various and presented by metal details of clothes, ornaments, work tools, pottery.
Bronze ornaments of a female suit are especially various: on forehead corolla from spiral pierceable, sometimes in a combination with whole ones, intercepted by lamellar holders with a stamping ornament, head plaits were decorated by the bronze opened ringlets, the small round not closed temporal rings from a round wire; rustling pendant-brooches. “Rustling bronze” was a necessary part of a female suit of “merya” and “murom” - at movement bronze protectors utter a ring - magic means for exile of "malicious forces”.
