Abstract

This study is a continuation of the previous one, in which information about the chemical composition of weights was published [Goshko, Videiko 2023]. The collection of weights originates from finds made in the historical and geographical area of Ukraine and transferred during 2018-2023 to the Archaeological Museum of the “Borys Grinchenko” Kyiv University in Kyiv. Below, we will focus on metrology, the sign system, chronology, and the area of distribution of truncated spheroid weights from this collection. This information can be useful for studying the history of the region in the 10th and 11th centuries. It can refer not only to trade, but also to the tax system and the spreading of power of the Kyiv princes in this period.
