Moschevo

Moschevo recalls Moshchevaya Balka, a mountain site in the upper Bolshaya Laba valley. Burials there from the eighth and ninth centuries preserved clothing and silks in the dry conditions of the rock shelters. The finds include textiles from distant regions, a glimpse of the routes that carried goods across the northern Caucasus between Central Asia and the eastern Mediterranean. The people buried here included Alans and local mountain communities.
