Abstract

The article presents the results of ceramics study from the settlement Novozykovo-3 (foothills of Altai) related to two chronological periods. It has been established that the Early Iron Age was dominated by the traditional use of plastic clays, adding gravel in the molding mass, often mixed skills in the application of mineral admixtures (gruss+chamotte), and there are virtually no known recipe without artificially introduced minerals in it. The Mayminskaya ceramics is often characterized by low- and medium-plastic raw materials, while recipes with gravel and without artificially introduced minerals are similar in quantitative indicators. The rare ones include clay+gruss+chamotte, clay+chamotte+organics, clay+sand+organics. The differences in the use of tools for the application of ornament have been noted. In the Mayminskaya ceramics there have been identified differences in preparing the molding masses which coincide with certain traditions in the ornamentation of vessels. According to the results of technique-technological analysis, it has been revealed that in the Early Iron Age the mixing with the population, who came from the forest-steppe was more typical, while in the Early Middle Ages it was with people from the highlands.
