The methodology of distinguishing urban territories including not only the fortified part of a settlement but the areas with occupation deposit outside the fortifications identified as a result of fieldwork as well is discussed. The size of urban territories of the second half of the 12th \u2013 the first half of the 13th century AD varies from 4\u20137 (Yaropolch and Gorokhovets) to 90\u2013200 (Gorodets Radilov, Vladimir and Rostov) ha. The total area with occupation deposit of the 12th \u201313th century recorded by fieldwork in the towns of Northeast Rus occupies about 840 ha. Given the imperfection of the archaeological record, the number may be changed to 1200\u20131300 ha. The new materials substantiate the observation that the second half of the 12th \u2013 early 13th century AD saw the urbanization of Northeast Rus involving a considerable increase in the number of towns, the expansion of urban territories and the formation of specific cultural traditions alien to rural settlements.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nikolay A.
