Abstract
The monograph by A.N. Sarapulov is positively evaluated in the review. Land cultivation features characteristic of the Perm Urals medieval population in the 7-15th centuries AD are studied in the book. The author has systematized all the available archaeological sources on the topic: tillage tools, harvest and processing tools, as well as grain storage constructions. Paleobotanical materials from settlement excavations, data referring to ethnography, folklore and agronomy is included in the study. Distribution maps showing individual categories of finds related to land cultivations are attached. Sections which provide a reconstruction of the land cultivation system and offer an analysis of the data on the origin of arable land cultivation in the region are of particular interest.
