Abstract

The following paper deals with the study of the Sperrings culture. More than a decade has passed since the last general publications on early Neolithic of Karelia. During this period, new sites of the Sperrings culture have been discovered and studied, first AMS-dating has been received from the ceramic fragments, monuments of the early Neolithic in the neighboring territories have been studied. As a result of two decades of the archaeological research in Karelia more than a dozen of new monuments were discovered and investigated, including poorly explored areas of the Northern Ladoga and Karelian isthmus. The Sperrings culture centre is the Onega lake basin, where more than 200 settlements are known. The existence period of the Sperrings culture in the Onega lake basin on the basis of AMS-dates is 53064250 cal BC. These data are also consistent with AMS-dating of bones of Koirinoya III settlement in the North Ladoga area. The Sperrings ceramics appeared on the territory of Karelia at the same time.

Highlights

  • The following paper deals with origins of the pottery traditions in the early Neolithic European North of Russia

  • Among the series of dates taken as a chronological frame for the Neolithic forest belt around 7000 years ago, there are deeper/ancient definitions for pricked fragments, as well as vessels with comb-style ornamentation
