КЕРАМИКА, ИЗГОТОВЛЕННАЯ С ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕМ ГОНЧАРНОГО КРУГА, ИЗ РАСКОПОК ПОСЕЛЕНИЯ БУРЛА-3 В 1987-1988 ГГ.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the introduction into scientific circulation of the preliminary results of studying the collection of ceramics, made with the use of potter’s wheel, from the settlement of Burla-3, originating from the excavations of V.S. Udodov in 1987-1988. The collection is kept in the funds of the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography of Altai, Altai State University. The authors analyzed the shapes of vessels, ornaments, raw materials and molding compounds. As a result, it was determined that the main part of the dishes were pots. Jars and jug-shaped vessels are few in number. Ceramics, made with the use of potter’s wheel, are practically devoid of ornament. All vessels are made of sanded clay. Three traditions have been identified in the selection of raw materials for the preparation of molding compounds: 1) the composition of molding compounds from two clays; 2) from one ferruginous clay; 3) from ferruginous clay with the inclusion of a white substance evenly distributed throughout the molding mass of the vessels. The authors come to the conclusion that the predominance of dishes, ceramics, made with the use of potter’s wheel, which is not typical for the main cultures of the Late Bronze Age of the region, indicates the alien nature of the population of the village. Taken together with the presence at the site of a kiln for fi ring vessels, fragments melted to a glassy state and deformed from exposure to high temperatures, it is most likely to have been produced locally, possibly aimed at import.
