О горизонте второй–третьей четверти VI в. до н. э. поселения Марьянское 1 в Нижнем Прикубанье

Abstract

The paper deals with the materials of the early Iron Age from excavations of the settlement-site of Maryanskoye 1 investigated in the Krasnoarmeysk district of Krasnodar Kray on the bank of the Kuban River. The main attention is paid to the chronological horizon of the 6th century BC which is the main stratum at the site. In order to define its chronological position, an analysis is presented and analogues of the artefacts characteristic of Kuban sites of the early Maeotic period are attracted. Particular consideration is paid to Greek imports. The aggregate of the obtained data allows us to date the horizon under study to within the second–third quarter of the 6th century BC and its materials are to be considered in the context of the Maeotic culture.
