Burial in the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin on the Monastyrskij Navolok at the mouth of the Niva River: archaeological and historical aspect.

In 2013, excavations were carried out in the altar of the monastery Church of the Nativity of the Virgin in the city of Kandalaksha. In the southern part of the excavation, an original double burial of two men was found, whose bodies lay on top of each other in the same pit. The article examines the practice of such burials in the late Middle Ages in the Russian North. Probably, they were monks of the Kandalaksha monastery who have a high status in the local community. Dating – the middle of the XVII century.
