Владельческие надписи на рукоятях ножей, найденные на берегу залива Симса: чтение, интерпретация, датировка
The paper presents a new reading of the inscriptions on two nominal notes found on the coast of Sims Bay in the Laptev Sea. It differs from the readings of paleographers and source historians published earlier, due to the fact that it was possible to give a correct reading of these inscriptions thanks to the use of the method of non-contact 3D modeling of epigraphic monuments developed by the RSSDA Laboratory and used in the Corpus Inscriptionum Rossicarum (CIR). A new reading of the inscriptions on the nominal knives made it possible to establish their belonging to Gury (baptismal name) – Akaky (prayer? name) Ivanov son Karzyaeva. Archaeological sites on the island of Thaddeus Northern and in coast of Sims Bay do not exclude the possi-bility of getting into them of various objects, which indicates at least two visits to these places by navigators. At the same time, the earliest traces of their stay in this place include knives with owner’s inscriptions, crosses No. 1–4 and Nu-remberg counting tokens. Although these artifacts have been in use since the second half, or even since the end of the 16th century, coins minted in 1615–1617 allow us to correlate them with a shipwreck that occurred in the late 10s – early 20s 17th century, which led to the death of sailors – and among them Gury-Akaky Ivanov son Korzyaeva, the owner of two signature knives.
