Archaeologists conducted excavations in the Metropolitan's Garden of the Lavra, during which they discovered an amber hoard weighing approximately half a kilogram, said Serhiy Taranenko, the head of the archaeological research sector of the National Reserve "Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra" to the resource "Facts".
According to him, the amber was found in layers dating back to the 14th-15th centuries. Taranenko also mentioned that military personnel and chaplains took part in the excavations as part of the rehabilitation program for the military called "Spiritual Recovery through Culture".
