Cultural and Chronological Complexes of the Zolotaya Pad I Campsite in the Lower Kama Region

Abstract

The article deals with the materials of one of the multilayer settlement sites, the Zolotaya Pad I campsite located in the Lower Kama region. The materials of the site trace back several stages of its functioning. The earliest stage belongs to the Late Neolithic. The pottery assemblage of the early stage of the settlement functioning by its formal-typological features belongs to the Kama Neolithic culture. Probably, in the final Neolithic the bearers of ceramics of the Ruskiy Azibey type inhabited the territory of the settlement. In later times this area was occupied by bearers of the Novaya Ilyinka type ceramics. In the Late Eneolithic the settlement site was occupied by the bearers of the Garino culture. The final stage of the campsite's functioning falls on the Early Iron Age.
