Abstract
The article responds to A. M. Oblomsky’s publication, published in Stratum plus (4, 2021). The methodology for reconstructing cultural and historical processes is one of the essential issues in the archaeology of the Roman period in Eastern Europe. It should be based on the scientific developments of Western European (mainly German) scholars. The method of constructing “cultural-historical groups” is criticized, in fact, based on a relatively insignificant sample (“rediscovered culture”) of ceramic fragments originating from exclusively partially excavated settlements. The basis for identifying the “chronologicalcultural horizon” is precisely the chronological horizon — a set of dating items of the same time in a particular territory associated with burial and settlement objects, containing ceramic vessels of a specific set of shapes.
