Two New Finds of the Chalcolithic–Bronze Age from the Fars River in the Northwestern Caucasus

Abstract

The article reports a Chalcolithic–early Bronze Age scepter .ftnial and an ornamented axe-hammer. Both objects have been found in the submontane region of the northwestern Caucasus. Analysis of the shapes of these rare artifacts allows consideration of the problem of cultural contacts between the populations of the Western Caucasus and Southeast Europe during this period.
