Products of «Hungarian Style» from Archaeological Sites of the Trans-Urals: artifacts and context

The authors consider the easternmost finds of toreutics of the "Hungarian style" from the archaeological sites of the Yudino culture of the forest Trans-Urals. An analysis of the materials showed that these products appeared in the Trans-Urals after the ancient Hungarians had migrated to the territory of the Carpathian basin. The "Magyar" group of items occured in the closed complexes of the Trans-Urals together with the imported items from the Upper Irtysh River region, Altai, the Upper Kama River region and the Southern Urals. Therefore, the authors assumed that the products of the "Hungarian style" got in the Trans-Urals at the end of the 9th–10th centuries as a result of trade relations. Most likely, the transfer of imports was not carried out directly from the Carpathian groups to the Trans-Urals, but through the mediation of the Eastern European population.
