Complex of finds of a multi-layered settlement in the North-Eastern Azov region (Neolithic – Late Bronze Age – Early Middle Ages)

Abstract

The article is devoted to the material obtained during excavations in 2000-2001 a small settlement in the North-Eastern Azov region. A few materials of the Eneolithic, the construction of the early Middle Ages and the main material at the settlement, belonging to the Late Bronze Age, are described. The ritual complexes found in the settlement are analyzed. The collection of bone items was studied in more detail, which led to the conclusion that bone tools were used in this settlement as needed in small quantities, but at the same time, some small items were probably produced from bone for exchange with other small groups nearby.
