The publication describes the range of goods used in the exchange among Russian and foreign traders and the indigenous people of Chukotka. The items are considered in the context of their value for a human and as expression of cultural and social interaction among traders. The author has made a preliminary categorization of the items to be exchanged among the American, Russian traders and the indigenous people of Chukotka. The author also gives analysis of important processes in the development of trade relations: the inclusion of certain industrial products into the culture and economy of the indigenous peoples of Chukotka and the transformation of significant items of traditional culture into commodities. It is also concluded that the use of economic and ethnographic approach to the study of corporeal space of commerce reveals the influence of worldviews on the economic behavior of the owners in the trading process and motivation in the decision to buy or sell the goods.

The analysis of the ceramic material and construction features allows to pre-date this to the second half of the VII—VIII-th centuries A.D.
