Ornaments in Mammen style (one of the styles of Scandinavian Viking Age art) and details of the artefact morphology clearly indicate the Scandinavian origin of the ‘scepters’ from this grave.

The technological features of the "idol's" manufacture and decoration are revealed by studying the elemental composition of the metal substrate and surface layer of this object. The investigation has been performed by scanning electron microscopy with application of energydispersive X-ray microanalysis, X-ray fluorescence integral analysis, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Based on the data obtained, it is concluded that the "idol" surface was gilded using amalgamation technology.

In order to analyze the artifacts internal structure, assess their reservation, clarify the manufacturing technology and localize possible decorations, a complex of visualization methods was used. It includes X-ray computer tomography, synchrotron radiography, and tomography performed on the “KSRS-Kurchatov” synchrotron radiation source, and neutron tomography carried out at the IR-8 neutron source research reactor. The data obtained made it possible to reveal the design, ornamental, and technological features of the studied weapon items.

Given the blurred dating of most artifacts and the absence of a dendrochronological scale for Smolensk region, the site chronology was clarified with radiocarbon wiggle-match dating. The results made it possible to date the settlement foundation to no later than the last quarter of the 8th century.

From the very beginning, Gnezdovo was settled by Scandinavians, Slavs and a local population belonging to the Long-barrow culture.

The main objectives of soil micromorphological analysis of archaeological objects are specified. The possibilities offered by this method are illustrated by the example of a micromorphological study of a cultural layer of an Early Medieval settlement. The prospects of archaeological soil micromorphology development are outlined.

To verify the data obtained, additional geochemical and archaeobotanical studies were carried out. The paper discusses limitations of dating human calcinated bones and a need to verity dating data with the use of residue encrustation.
