SOME TILLAGE IMPLEMENT PARTS
IN THE ZAUSAILOV COLLECTION
NATIONAL MUSEUM OF FINLAND
By
R. E. F. Smith

The history of tillage implements in Europe
has solid foundations in a number of basic
works (Leser; Haudricourt et Delamarre).
In the main, however, these deal with West-
ern Europe, from Finland to the Balkans
(Bratanic 1939; Glob 1951; Rees 1979; Vil-
kuna 1971). The vast area of European Rus-
sia is sadly neglected. The latest fundamental
work was published in 1907 and more re-
cently published materials do not compare
with similar publications for other parts of
Europe (Zelenin 1907).
It is a fortunate chance for scholars in the
Western world concerned with Russian his-
tory that the National Museum of Finland
has a large collection of archaeological mate-

rial originating from the Kazan’ area1 c. 700
km east of Moscow. Almost 11,000 objects
were acquired by purchase in 1909 from the
merchant, V. I. Zausailov, who had collected
them in the period from 1877, mainly by
asking peasants in the Kazan’ guberniya for
any objects they had found (Tallgren I 1916
and II 1918 here referred to as Collection
Zaousailov I and II). After some time
Zausailov’s mania for collection became
known in the region and peasants themselves
then started to bring him material they had
found or otherwise acquired. The material,
therefore, lacks specific detail; it is not ac-
companied by excavation reports which
might enable it to be dated and often we have
