THE FEDOROVO CULTURE CERAMICS OF THE SETTLEMENT KURIA 1 IN THE LOWER TOBOL REGION

Issue 3 from 01.07.2014

The article considers the results of the techno-technological analysis of the ceramics of Fedorovo culture of the settlement Kurya 1 in the Lower Tobol region. The research allows unraveling the traditions of selecting and preparing the basic plastic raw material, setting the moulding masses and constructing the vessels. The skills of potters in surface treatment, hardening and moisture permeability removing were revealed. Following the results of the comparative analysis of the pottery traditions of the settlement's citizens, their mixed characters in selecting the plastic raw material and composing the moulding masses have been discovered. The comparison of the data with the technological information about ceramics assemblages from the crossborder regions showed that at least a part of the Fedorovo culture citizens, particularly those that had the skills in selecting raw material with the naturally occurring impurities from the river clamshells and forming of the moulding mass with land waste, are considered to be aliens on the territory of the Lower Tobol region.
