معرفی
Maxim Mordovin, Habil. Associate Professor at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), Budapest, lectures in the Department of Early Medieval and Historical Archaeology, Institute of Archaeological Sciences. His research integrates medieval and early-modern archaeology with economic history, focusing on cloth seals, numismatics, castle excavations and the comparative study of 10th–12th-century state formation in East-Central Europe.
Education & Qualifications: Mordovin has completed the Central-European "Habil." higher-doctorate procedure, the local prerequisite for full professorial rank.
Research Interests:
- Trade archaeology – lead cloth seals as proxies for medieval textile commerce
- Numismatics – coin finds and monetary circulation in the Carpathian region
- Castle archaeology – field projects at Čabraď (SK), Grd-i Tle (IQ), and Hungarian royal castles
- Comparative early-state studies – castle networks in Hungary, Bohemia and Poland
- Funerary and settlement archaeology – post-migration cemetery transformations
Publication Profile: Between 2002 and 2022 he authored or co-authored over thirty articles and book chapters, half of which centre on cloth-seal analysis and the circulation of late-medieval textiles between Flanders, Bavaria and Hungary. Other clusters address castle excavation results, coin hoards from Bukovina, and methodological guides for identifying lead seals, reflecting a blend of artefact studies, field reports and synthetic comparative work.
Field & International Work: Mordovin has directed or co-directed excavations at Čabraď Castle (Slovakia), the Grd-i Tle post-medieval settlement in Iraqi Kurdistan, and contributed to Kazakh–Hungarian surveys in the Zhetisu region, illustrating active international collaboration.
