Abstract

The area of ​​the Ladoga Kurgan culture at the turn of the first and second millennia included the southeastern Ladoga region, southern Karelia, and the northern shore of Lake Onega. More than 700 burial mounds and several hoards of Eastern and Western European coins from the 11th and 12th centuries have been studied. Trade relations with Scandinavia, the Baltic region, Byzantium, the Volga region, Central Asia, and the Arab East influenced the socioeconomic development of the region. The population that left the Ladoga burial mounds was primarily of Baltic-Finnic origin, with a lesser degree of Scandinavian origin, later joined by Slavs.
