Abstract

The article publishes and examines an archaeological collection of seven fragments of ceramic dishes, found in 2022 in the Kriminalnaya cave, which is located on the territory of Gornaya Shoria in the upper reaches of the Mrassu river. Archaeological objects were found in one cluster with animal bones and the remains of a fire pit near the entrance to the cave and probably make up a single cultural and chronological complex of finds of human life. Fragments of ceramic utensils, of which four were ornamented and two were corollas, probably belonged to three vessels. According to the results of comparing the described elements and motifs of ornamentation of fragments of the collection of ceramic dishes, a preliminary conclusion was made that these finds can be attributed to the circle of post-Andronian cultures of the transition from developed to late bronze.
