ПАМЯТНИК АРХЕОЛОГИИ «КОКШАРОВСКИЙ ХОЛМ — ЮРЬИНСКОЕ ПОСЕЛЕНИЕ»: НЕКОТОРЫЕ АСПЕКТЫ СОЦИОКУЛЬТУРНОЙ ИНТЕРПРЕТАЦИИ

Abstract

Fixation in the cultural layer of the archaeological site of all ceramic types of the Trans-Ural region: early Neolithic (the last third of the 7th — the turn of the 6th–5th millennium BC) the Koshkino and the Koksharovsko-Yur’inskaya (Kozlovo) cultures, Late Neolithic (the turn of the 6th–5th millennium BC — the middle of the 5th millennium BC) of the Poludenskaya and the Basyanovskaya (local variant of the Boborykino) cultures, allows setting the tasks of the relationship of these complexes from the point of view of solving not only the “classical” problems of archaeology: typology, stratigraphy, absolute and relative chronology, etc. but also some socio-cultural interpretations. On the materials of such a specific source as an archaeological one, the solution of such problems is available in the analysis of only some archaeological sites. The authors of the article state, firstly, the dual nature of the social organization of primitive collectives within the heterogeneous community that created this unique archaeological complex, especially manifested in the early Neolithic stage in the face of the Koshkino and the Koksharovsko-Yur’inskaya population groups, whose activities were sealed by both joint production and cult practices and, most likely, the commonality of family and marriage relations, which was based on the principle of exogamy. Secondly, the authors assume for the Koksharovsky Kholm sanctuary the status of a cult place not only of a local district, but as an interregional center of a significant sociocultural space. Thirdly, one can observe the preservation in the Late Neolithic time of the microlithic flint processing technique, which in the Basyanovo community could have performed not only a production, but also a cult function. Fourthly, at the origins of the functioning of the “Koksharovsky Kholm — Yur’inskoe Settlement” archeological site was, most likely, the Koshkino group of population.
