Summary/Abstract: Wearing-apparel components and mirrors from the materials of field archaeological researches at the Hmelevskoe I settlement (second half of the 13th–14th century), which is situated in the Saratov Volga Region, carried out during the expedition organized in 1995–2002 by the Kazan University under the supervision of L.F. Nedashkovsky are considered in the article. The morphological features of wares (girdle clasps, brackets, tips of belts, belt ring, earring, finger rings, bracelets, syul’gamas, rustling ornament, and mirrors) are analyzed in the article on the basis of typology with involvement of the broad comparative background of materials from synchronous monuments. This complex characterizes the material culture of the Lower Volga town of the Golden Horde time, which, judging by the published materials, differed from the objects of similar purpose, found at the nearby Ukek city.
