- Abstract
- In the Kazan Khanate, as well as in earlier Turkic-Tatar states, leather industry is the least studied area of manufacture. Large-scale excavations in the Kazan Kremlin revealed many leather items and leatherworking and shoemaking tools. The largest amount of archeological leather – over 10000 fragments – came from dig 13 in the eastern part of the Kremlin hill. We have processed about 2000 finds, which allowed to study the tanning and shoemaking industry in Kazan in the middle of the 15th – first half of the 16th cc. The article summarizes the available data on raw materials, means of manufacturing leather items, tailoring techniques, detail construction and decorating. Types of leather goods have been identified, for instance, shoes, military items, household items. The author comes to the conclusion that in the middle of the 15th – first half of the 16th cc. the leather industry in Kazan, which absorbed the traditions of Bulgar nomads, was at a high level of development and influenced the evolution of the craft in question in neighboring regions.
