Cultural and Chronological Complexes of the Beryozovaya Griva I Settlement in the Lower Kama Region

Abstract

The article analyzes the materials of one of the multilayer settlement monuments of the Primeval period, located in the Lower Kama region – Beryozovaya Griva I settlement. The materials of the settlement trace back several stages of its functioning. The earliest stage belongs to the Late Neolithic. The ceramic complex of the early stage by its formal-typological features belongs to the Kama Neolithic culture. In the Late Chalcolithic the site was developed by the bearers of Garin culture. The functioning of the site in the Late Bronze Age was associated with the bearers of Srubnaya and Lugovoy cultures ceramics, as well as ceramics of the Atabayevo stage of the Maklasheyevka culture. The final functioning of the Beryozovaya Griva I settlement should probably be associated with the presence of the population of the Ananyino cultural and historical areal in the Lower Kama region. Thus, the functioning of the Beryozovaya Griva I settlement, probably with some interruptions, continued from the middle of the V millennium BC up to the I millennium BC.
