Неолитический и энеолитический комплексы стоянки Кедровый мыс-1 в Южном Зауралье

Abstract

The article presents the results of the study of the site Kedrovy Mys-1 on Lake Maloe Miassovo in the Southern Trans-Urals. The site, which was a place of not long-term inhabitation of the ancient population, was fully investigated. The site was inhabited in the Neo-Eneolithic and Early Iron Age; below in the work are published materials of the Stone Age, significantly prevailing in the collection. Despite the poor preservation of ceramics, it was possible to identify and reconstruct more than 100 vessels of the kozlovskaya, poludenskaya and boborykinskaya Neolithic traditions, as well as of the lipchinskaya and Ssurtandinskaya cultures of the Eneolithic epoch, replenishing the source database with new data. Also some methodological aspects of field research are considered, which are associated with an attempt to stratigraphic and planographic isolation of the undestroyed Neolithic layer and the isolation of stone implements of this era. This is due to the specific geomorphological conditions of the region, traditionally one of the most difficult tasks of archaeological research in the mountain forest zone of the Southern Trans-Urals.
