نبذة مختصرة : International audience ; The article deals with the discovery of a great multifaceted crystal bead in the settlement of the Kolochin culture of Kartamyshovo-3 in Upper Psel (Oboyansk district, Kursk region). Findings of such beads are given in the Northern Black Sea region, in the Caucasus, in Central and Western Europe. Thanks to these parallels, the chronology of crystal faceted beads is established within the framework of the end of the III / IV — the second half of the VII century. These beads, of Mediterranean or Sassanian origin, most likely fall into the Middle Dnieper as a result of contacts with the South-Western Crimea in the last third of the VI — first half of the VII century.
