In the course of the work were discovered signs of building, the founding Church located in the cemetery, the remains of iron things and objects, coins and many shards from pottery. The greatest part of all discovered things and objects related to local production, but some items were clearly not made on this earth and were produced by foreigners is Western European or Arab buildings, amethyst beads and made of bronze buckles. It is all of these things indicate that local residents actively traded with distant countries.

In the 13th century on Arinoi mange spots was Alexandrov founded a large monastery – also with the support of the Grand Duke. This place has become a kind country house of the Prince. In the 18th century, the monastery ceased operations, while his remains were found during the previously documented archaeological research.
