Archaeological Excavation Report for a Kyiv Church Site, 2006–2007

2006–2007 excavations on the corner of Velyka Zhytomyrska and Stritenska streets in Kyiv were conducted by the Starokyiv expedition of the Institute of Archaeology of the NAS of Ukraine. The work aimed to rebuild the 19th-century Church of the Meeting of the Lord and clarify its history from the first wooden church to its destruction. The report documents the church's remaining basement and foundations, surrounding 17th–18th century burials, and a cultural layer spanning the 11th to 18th centuries.

Use Cases

• Historical site reconstruction based on documented foundations and basements.
• Analysis of burial practices from the 17th–18th centuries based on described grave orientations.
• Studying urban cultural layer development across the 11th–18th centuries mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Report is based on a specific, documented excavation at a defined location (corner of Velyka Zhytomyrska and Stritenska streets, Kyiv).
• Covers a long temporal range of archaeological evidence, from the 11th to the 19th centuries.
• Includes multiple types of findings: architectural remains, burials, and cultural layers.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 7.9 MB file size suggests the PDF is a report, not a structured data table, limiting machine-readability.
