Abstract
The paper describes the complex of Early Neolithic Upper Volga culture pottery from site Zamostje 2. The analysis revealed that the vast majority of ceramics found during the excavation of site belong to the first stage of development of the Upper Volga culture - ceramics without ornaments and fragments with ornaments comprised of small dots and notches. Conducted extensive radiocarbon dating by different kinds of materials made it possible to determine the time of existence of the Upper Volga culture on the site Zamostje 2 within the 6850 - 6200 BP. Nevertheless, a small series of dates obtained from crust on fragments, demonstrates a more ancient age as compared with the main array of dates. The nature of such phenomenon currently not entirely clear .
Highlights
The other problem of the radiocarbon dating of pottery is the reservoir effect if the freshwater and the seawater fish or seafood were used in a cooking process
The careful chemical pretreatment of ceramics must guarantee the removing of humic acids forming after burial of pot-sherds and as well as in result of food cooking
The examination of δ13C should be provided for organics from pot-sherds
Summary
The other problem of the radiocarbon dating of pottery is the reservoir effect if the freshwater and the seawater fish or seafood were used in a cooking process. Всего найдено 327 фрагментов, или 1,8% этого представляет собой последовательную цепочку раз- типа от всей керамики.
