Summary

Introduction

Характерный для нижневолжской (накольчатой) гончарной традиции рецепт ИПС + ОР без минеральных примесей, составлял в посуде елшанского населения Волго-Уралья 82% (от изученной керамики), в правобережье Средней Волги 9– 10% «керамики елшанского облика» и единично зафиксирован в накольчатой керамике Марийского Поволжья для сосуда, изготовленного из ила [5, с.
