The Bronze Age is currently one of the least studied stages of ancient history of Northern Angara... more The Bronze Age is currently one of the least studied stages of ancient history of Northern Angara region. Requires addressing issues of the chronology and characteristics of material culture of the Bronze Age and the nature of culture transformations on the borders with the Neolithic and early Iron Age. In modern archaeological research the main cultural and chronological marker of the Bronze Age, among materials of site's complexes, serves distinctive pottery with «ribbed» surface and ornamentation in the form of «pearls» belt. Which is demonstrates а obvious morphological uniformity. That allows its consideration on this, the initial, phase of research as an independent regional pottery stratum. The authors propose to call it «atalonga stratum», by title of the site on the river Ilim, where for the first time in the North Angara region was found this shape of pottery. Areal similar «pearl-ribbed» pottery is a large area of Middle and South Siberia. Not numerous data of the absolute dating of the sites of the North Angara region suggest existence of here «pearl-ribbed» pottery in the range of ~ 3600 – 3000 years ago (Late Bronze Age). Questions of an earlier emergence, including the chronological relationship with the Neolithic pottery traditions, and the upper age limit, for are currently, remain open and require confirmation by new evidence. Due to the small number clean settlement complexes and pottery in burials of the Northern Angara region Bronze Age difficult decision of the existence at this time other types of pottery.
