Abstract

The following paper summarizes the study results of the Kizhi Museum-Reserve archaeological expedition in 20132016. During this period Kosmozero, Vanchozero, Turastamozero and Ladmozero on the territory of the Zononezhsky peninsula in the Medvezhyegorsk district and the Suna River within the boundaries of the Kivach state reserve in the Kondopoga district were studied. The purpose of the study was to establish the high-altitude patterns in the location of the Stone Age settlements in the interior of the Karelia. As a result of the works 23 ancient settlements on the territory of the Zaonezhsky peninsula were located on the ancient terraces of the Onega Lake bays at heights of 3 to 12 meters above the current water level in the reservoirs, the most ancient monuments of the Mesolithic era occupying the highest hypsometric marks. A new archeological complex of 20 monuments was discovered, timed to the ancient coastal terraces of the Onega Lake and at altitudes of 4 to 14 meters above the modern water level and in the Suna River.

Highlights

  • As a result of the works 23 ancient settlements on the territory of the Zaonezhsky peninsula were located on the ancient terraces of the Onega Lake bays

  • Судя по их высоте над современным уровнем воды в Онежском озере, с учетом имеющихся сведений об изменениях его береговой линии на протяжении эпохи голоцена [Девятова, 1986], можно полагать, что в период бытования поселений данные озера являлись глубоко вдающимися в материк заливами Онежского озера

Summary

Introduction

За этот период времени были проведены обследования озер Космозеро, Ванчозеро, Турастамозеро и Ладмозеро на территории Заонежского полуострова в Медвежьегорском районе и среднего течения реки Суна в границах Государственного заповедника «Кивач» в Кондопожском районе. В результате проведенных работ было открыто 23 древних поселения на территории Заонежского полуострова, которые располагались на древних террасах заливов Онежского озера на высотах от 3 до 12 метров над современным уровнем воды в водоемах, причем самые древние памятники эпохи мезолита занимали наиболее высокие гипсометрические отметки.
