SARGARINSKO-ALEKSEEVSKAYA CERAMICS OF THE KULUNDA SETTLEMENTS (Preliminary Results of the Study)
Abstract
The paper presents a generalization of the results of a comprehensive study of Sargarinsko-Alekseevskaya ceramics from the settlements of the Kulunda steppe: Rublevo-VI, Burla-3, Zharkovo-3, Kalinovka-II. It has been established that the basis of the ceramic series is pots. The ornament is mainly located on the shoulders, less often on the neck of a pots. Seven methods of decoration and 73 types of ornamental motifs has been recorded. Compositional patterns often consist of only one motif, one motif repeated three or more times, or two different motifs. A comparative analysis of the forms and ornamentation of the collections of individual monuments in the region made it possible to identify common and individual features of the complexes. The firsts include the shapes of vessels, their similar percentages, common motifs, and the relative simplicity of ornamental compositions. The seconds includes the peculiarities of placing the ornament in the zones of the vessels and the ornamentation techniques. A generalization of the results of a technical and technological study of ceramics showed a similarity in the ferruginous degree of the raw materials used and the presence of recipes that included both gruss and fireclay. The differences between the Kulunda sites are associated with the degree of plasticity of the raw materials and the ratio of the molding mass recipes. As a result of comparison of the obtained data with the Sargarinsko-Alekseevsky materials from the settlements of Central Kazakhstan, their similarity with the ceramics of the studied region in terms of external features (shape and ornament) was established. However, technical and technological analysis data show differences between regions. The identified features indicate the specificity of the process of interaction between regional populations and migrations.Downloads
