Abstract
The article examines a complex of fragments of pottery and ceramic products of the Early Iron Age, obtained in 2020 during excavations at the village of Firsovo-15. This site is located in the Pervomaisky district of the Altai Territory, the work was carried out in the southwestern part of the settlement. During the study, fragments of earthenware originating from at least 108 vessels were found. Among them there are 73 ornamented rims, 18 rims without ornaments and 24 walls. The ornamental composition, in general, includes no more than two elements, one of which is a pearl or a rounded fossa. In addition to the vessel fragments, the Early Iron Age materials probably include four fragments of clay spindle whorls and a ceramic “chip”. The obtained materials are typical for the considered epoch and belong to the Old Aleic culture of the Upper Ob region. Keywords: early Iron Age, altai, Upper Ob Region, ceramics, Old Aleic culture
