On July 7, 2023, at the archaeological complex on the Mienka River, where large-scale studies of the site of ancient town and settlements have been conducted since the end of May under the leadership of the Head of the department of the Institute of History Andrei Voitekhovich, another fragment of tableware with the ancestral sign of Prince Izyaslav, the son of Ragneda and Vladimir, was discovered.
