The article deals with development of Novgorod in 10th–14th cc. Main task of the research was to study dynamics of spatial changes of medieval city using archaeological data and GIS-techniques for modeling and mapping of this process and dendrochronology as source of chronological boundaries. Chronology of constructions of each archaeological site became a source for housing distribution maps with an interval of 50 years. These maps also contain medieval churches (both lost and survived) as additional markers of city area development. This research resulted with five-century picture of city area evolution with phases of city growth along with time of decline in the first half of the 13th c.
