Предварительные результаты технико-технологического анализа керамики с поселения Потаповы лужки-III (Томское Приобье)

Abstract

The article presents the results of a technical and technological analysis of the developed and late Bronze Age ceramics from the Potapovy Luzhki-III settlement in the Tomsk Ob river region. The studies were carried out within the framework of the historical and cultural approach according to A.A. Bobrinsky’s method. The main task was to identify the specific features of cultural traditions in the selection of raw materials and the preparation of the pottery paste, and a comparative analysis of the data obtained. As a result of the study, it was established that iron-rich and non-iron non-sanded and heavily sanded clays were used for the making of ceramics. The Samus ceramics are made mainly from plastic clays differing in their degree of iron content, and the vessels of the late Bronze Age are made from low iron content clays with high content of fine sand. A single recipe was revealed: clay + crushed stone + organic matter. A comparative analysis with previously obtained data showed that the discovered tradition to use low iron content clays and non-iron clays for the ancient ceramics of the Tomsk Ob river region is also characteristic of the Bronze Age ceramics from the Potapovy Luzhki-III settlement. Also characteristic of this area is the addition of crushed stone to the pottery paste. It is noteworthy that there are no signs of mixing of cultural traditions in the preparation of the pottery paste on the site.
