Abstract

The article presents for the first time the results of the study of the site Ostrov Nyasha-I, located in the north of the Lower Tom region, discovered in 2021. The stratigraphic situation at the site is analyzed, and a conclusion is made about its single-layer nature. The preliminary results of the cultural and chronological attribution of the ceramic complex of the monument are presented, which allowed to reveal the simultaneous occurrence of the Novokuskovsky and Igrekovsky types of ceramics. Two AMS-dates obtained from charcoal from the culture-containing layer and two AMS-dates obtained from carbon deposits on ceramics are presented. According to the authors of the article, the freshwater reservoir effect leads to older the last dates. This fact, combined with the presence of materials from two cultural traditions in a single-layer site, allowed raising questions about the possible incorrectness of most of the dates available for Neolithic-Eneolithic sites of the Tomsk-Chulym Ob region, and the need to revise the cultural and chronological scheme of the designated region. Based on absolute dates, the site Ostrov Nyasha-I is dated to the end of the first — second quarter of the 5 millennium B.C. and attributed by the authors to the Late Neolithic period. The special role of the monument in the construction of the cultural and chronological scheme of the Lower Tom region and the need for its further research were noted.
