The early history is not entirely clear on when Moscow was first civilized. Although, there are many archaeological finds that support theories of people settling there in the Stone Age. These theories are supported by ideas that these people did not wander for food but rather setup a hunting territory. However, in the early 8-9-th century B.C, Moscow was settled by the DÃÂyakovo culture (Kirchner 3-4). This culture was very skilled in their iron work and continued to adapt and advance their skills as time went by. Around the 6-7-th century A.D period there was a crisis for the DÃÂyakovo as their culture completely vanished, with reasons unknown. No culture came to replace them until the mid 11-th century when the Slavs started their civilization. It was in this time period that Moscow was officially founded and the first documentation of it was recorded in 1147 (22). It is from this time that Moscow continued to advance to what it is today.
