Abstract	The article presents archaeobotanical records from a cultural layer of the medieval settlement Nadymsky Gorodok located in the West Siberian forest-tundra. The obtained plant macrofossil complexes reveal the natural environment at the time of colonization, as well as housekeeping peculiarities of the indigenous inhabitants in the study region. According to archaeological and tree-ring analysis data, people founded the Nadymsky Gorodok settlement in the 12th century ad and stayed there till ad 1730. Ruderal plant macrofossils prevail in the majority of complexes. The absence of cultivated and segetal plants proves that agriculture was not practiced at this site during the Middle Ages. Abundant remains of edible wild plants indicate the important role of gathering in the life of the Nadymsky Gorodok inhabitants.
