Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the role of the “triple zigzag” motive in the ornamentation of ceramics of the Irmen cultural and histirical community of the south of Western Siberia. It is revealed that this ornamental motif was used quite rarely. A comparative analysis of the Irmen ornamentation of various territories showed a more frequent use of the “triple zigzag” motif by the population of the southern part of the Tomsk-Narym Ob region, Barnaul-Biysk Ob region and Omsk-Irtysh region. These data were compared with the available results of the analysis of the ornamentation of ceramics of other cultures of the Late Bronze Age. It was found that the “triple zigzag” motif was actively used by the carriers of the Molchanovo, Korchazhkinsk and Suzgun cultures of the late Bronze Age. This may be an argument in favor of the assumption that the Irmen population borrows this motif in the process of intercultural interaction.
