The south of Middle Siberia favored by special geographical position as well as landscape and climate's situation, formed a particular agglomerate of cultural communities in the Neolithic. Its traces are clearly followed in funeral and site complexes. By analyzing burial grounds several funeral traditions were identified: those of Kitoi (and close to this area), Isakovo, Serovo (and late Serovo) and the Archaic group. Based on the studies of multilayer sites, there are five pottery «layers» (plasty). Their characteristics are examined in a very detailed way. With the help of the morphological studies it is proposed to identify two types of Neolithic pottery in the pottery stratum with the netimpressed. The Isakovo net-impressed pottery is typologically different from one of the Early Neolithic. The dotted-comb layer includes two types of pottery: pottery with dots, crests and pothole indentations (finds localized in Angara Region) and vessels of Serovo culture. Other pottery layer include: two cord-impressed types – Khaita, Posolsk and Ust-Belaia type. It was identified one type that is closed to Ust’-Belaia type with the netimpressed types called Aplinskaya pottery. Most ancient pottery of the region (judging by radiocarbon analysis) is the net-impressed and Khaita pottery of the Early Neolithic (7800–5500 BP). In the Middle Neolithic in southern part of Middle Siberia the Posol’sk (6900–4100 BP) and Ust’-Belaia (6600–4100 BP) pottery types are spread. The dotted pottery as well as the Serovo and Isakovo cultury pottery is dated between 5200–4300 BP. The Aplinskaya pottery dating is to be determined.
The Aplinski Type of Net-impressed Pottery / Сетчатая керамика аплинского типа
We consider the typology of the net-impressed pottery in the south of the Middle Siberia, we discuss the problems of identifying of the Kitoi vessels. In the conglomerate of net-impressed pottery of the early Neolithic period stands out at least two types, the array of the late Neolithic period – Isakovo type. We have identified another – Aplinski type. We characterise and analize four Aplinski vessels with impressions of the woven mesh on the outer surface and decorated by the oval stamp on the top from the excavation of the Generalov locations (Chuna river) and Otiko I (Angara river). The characterized vessels are united not only by the similarity of morphological characters, but also by the features of the universal molding method, indicating the use of the manufacturing technology over the net. It is necessary to clarify the direction of the molding of the vessels. The location of the Aplinski pottery is limited by the area of the Northern Angara region. Given its similarity to the net-impressed pottery of the early Neolithic period and the Ust-Belaya pottery, we can talk about the formation of an independent type based on a synthesis of technological and decorative traditions of the local population and the foreign cultural groups. Preliminarily the chronometric scope of this type is determined in the interval 5000(5500)–4000 BP.

This article discusses the use of traditional methods within the A.A. Bobrinsky historical-cultural approach to pottery analysis that allow us to consider each vessel as a source of information of the design and starting of the hollow body of the vessel. Thus, a more or less whole vessel may render information about a particular container design pattern or the skills of a particular potter group. This approach to ceramics allows you to study the cultural traditions in the manufacture of ceramics and, accordingly, closed family groups which have produced, and on the basis of radiocarbon dating to determine the time of its manufacture: Usmanovo I - III settlements (1930 - 1750 BC - Beta Analytic) and Kazburun I barrows (AMS 1820 - 1795 BC - Beta Analytic). However, ceramic archaeological complex Kazburun neighborhood has become one of the important factors in identifying cultural transformations and cultural interactions in the Late Bronze Age in the Southern Urals.

As a result of analysis of ceramic complexes of the multilayered site Ust-Belaya (Southern Angara region) on a basis of the morfo-technical signs we allocated 20 groups of different times. The study and comparative analysis with materials of the Baikal Siberia we distinguished the pottery on the 14 groups, its relative and absolute chronology is identified. Neolithic complexes of Khaita (~7500–5500 BP) and Ust-Belaya (~6600–4100 BP) pottery are most representative in a quantitative sense. Neolihtic Posolskaya (~6900–4100 BP) and Net-impressed (~7500-5500 BP) pottery is presented by single fragments. The period of the Late Neolithic – Bronze Age is presented by Ribbed pottery(~4200–3600 BP) of different types. Several groups, including pottery of Tyshkine (Senogda) type (~3100–2100 BP) are defined as the early Iron Age and the Middle Ages.
The article is devoted to the analysis of pottery traditions of the population associated with the existence of “long houses” on Staraya-Maina hillfort (Ulyanovsk Oblast), dated by the Great Migration Period. The research is based on the ceramic collection found on the hillfort during the excavations in 1990–1991. This paper presents a typological description of vessels and the results of technological analysis conducted by the author according to A. A. Bobrinsky’s method. The analysis revealed two massive pottery traditions, one of which was widely known on Imenkovo culture settlements, while the second one was a new discovery. The author suggests that this group of ceramics might be associated with an inflow of population from the Middle Oka region and from the Oka-Sura region in the fifth century AD, which brought the typical complex of garnishments of Ryazan-Oka type to the Middle Volga region.

The present study was mostly aimed at reconstructing the traditions of ceramic manufacturing that were practiced by the people of the recently identified Mariinskoye culture of the Early Neolithic (the 8th–7th millennia BC) in the Lower Amur. This paper presents the results of a comprehensive analysis of ceramics via a historical-cultural approach to the studies of ancient pottery production. General pottery traditions have been established, indicating a cultural homogeneity for the population of the Mariinskoye culture. The work represents a methodological study that suggests various perspectives of this approach.

A. V. Heiko, R. M. Reida, S. v. Sapiehin REPATRING OF POTTERY BY THE POPULATION OF CULTURE CHERNIAKHIV-SYNTANA-DE-MURESH The article deals with repairing of pottery by the population of culture Cherniakhiv-Syntana-de-Muresh. One of the oldest and the most popular kind of repairing was fastening. It meant that pottery which was cracked and broken was repaired by joining the parts together. The holes were drilled to the both sides of cracks of pottery. Usually there were pairs of holes (figs. 2-5). lt is unknown, which instruments were used to drill such holes. Obviously, these were bones, bronze or iron awls. This is the only method of repairing fixed in Cherniakhiv culture. Also it is difficult to understand how they fastened the parts of cracked and broken pottery. They could use leather straps or sinews of animals. The algorithm of repairing of pottery could be like this: 1. Drilling the holes to the both sides of cracks. 2. Making or searching a leather strap or a rope of proper length. 3. Joining the parts together with the help of leather straps or ropes. P. M. , Caneriu, C. B, PeMoHT rJrr,rHsHoro nocy.Ey. . . 4. Greasing and puttying the cracks (they could use resin, wax, flour dissolved in water). 5. Tying up under the rims of pottery with a rope or a strap (as it was fixed in the modern ethnographic materials). 6. lt should be mentioned here that points 3 and 5 are the authors' reconstructions which are not proved by any archaeological finds and by physical and chemical analyses. And if this algorithm was used, the functions of pottery could be restored only partly. For example, according to our graphic reconstruction (fig. 1), the repaired pot might hardly be used for preparing hot dishes because of thermal influence on repaired parts. At the same time, it was possible to use such pottery for cold liquid. So, as for pottery which they didn't use for cooking, its functions after repairing could be restored completely. Pottery became cheaper at that time because of the high level of development of Cherniakhiv culture's crafts. That's why the repairing was not so widely used among the population. lt is also interesting that no antique pottery with repaired parts was found on any sites of Cherniakhiv culture.

Eastern LBK pottery: some observations on production techniques and the symmetrical structure of ornaments (Floreşti and Niezwiska), 2021
There are two collections that are stored in Saint Petersburg originating from the first LBK sites (Floreşti I and Niezwiska) investigated in the USSR during the 1950-60s by Tatiana Passek and Katerina Chernysh. Despite the incompleteness of this material, it allows us to make several observations regarding technical aspects of pottery production and its ornamentation. The production of LBK vessels is based on a coiling with subsequent forming by the "paddle-and-anvil" technique. Principal distinctions between production techniques make it possible to exclude the idea of links between the LBK and the subsequent Precucuteni-Tripolye A culture. The specifics of the forms and techniques of LBK ornamentation allows to propose that such ornamentation originates from non-ceramic prototypes. Additionally, the symmetrical analysis of Eastern LBK ornamentation indicates differences in symmetry preferences between the LBK and Cucuteni-Tripolye populations. According to the hypothesis of D. K. Washburn (2018), such a difference may indicate distinctions in the social structures of these cultures.
