The next volume of the almanac "The Earliest States of Eastern Europe" is devoted to the problems of studying economic systems and trade and financial transactions in Eurasia from the 6th to the 11th centuries. The articles collected in this volume reveal this issue based on materials from different regions of Eurasia and North Africa. Two articles are devoted to the coins of late Antiquity, one is devoted to the relations of medieval China with nomads. The main attention is focused on the problems of the history of Eastern Europe in the 9th-11th centuries, first of all, the economy, money account and weight systems of the Slavs and Scandinavians. Special attention is paid to the history of the little-studied "transitional" period for Eastern Europe of the 9th - early 10th centuries. The book will be of interest to historians, archaeologists, numismatists, all experts in Antiquity and the Middle Ages, and in addition, perhaps, to a wider circle of readers who want to get acquainted with modern methods of studying the economic history of the early Middle Ages.
