The available quantitative data of artifact distribution from lower Horizons of Nerevsky digs are limited to horizons 22-23. This is due to the fact that horizons below these squares do not contain any cultural layer that would be synchronous to the relevant horizon. The article treats various options for elimination of this deficiency. The author suggests some multipliers that can be used to correct distribution of artifacts in lower horizons and in the pre-horizon layer of the following sequences of digs of the Nerevsky finale of Veliky Novgorod: I-XI, I-XIV, I-XXXIII. Methodologies offered by the author can be applied on other sites.
