Chronological Complexes of the 20th Kuzkino Station in the Lower Kama River Region

Abstract

The materials of the 20th Kuz'kino habitation site, now destroyed by the waters of the Kuybyshev reservoir are published in the article. The resource was surveyed in 1965, surface finds being represented by pottery and stone tools. The pottery assemblage and stone tools had been left mainly by the Kama Neolithic culture population. This period of habitation is the earliest and can be dated to the first half of the 4th millennium BC. Besides, there are artifacts associated with the cultures of the Eneolithic and Bronze period (Volosovo, Lugovskoye, Maklasheevka) and the Early Iron Age (Textile Fabric-Marked Ware and Ananyino cultures).
