Pottery of the Kalinkino Culture from the Barsov Gorodok III/2 Settlement: Technical and Technological Characteristics

Purpose . Barsova Gora is a unique archaeological and landscape site located in the Tyumen Region (West Siberia) of Russian Federation. The technical technological analysis Kalinkino ceramics from Barsov gorodok III/2 settlement (25 vessels) was performed accordance with method developed by A. Bobrinsky. Results For manufacture vessels at settlement, ferruginous clays were selected. Five subspecies clay have been identified, differing sandiness degree natural impurities composition. most common weakly sandy inclusions brown ironstone. Three recipes for molding compond defined: 1) + chamotte (21 vessels); 2) sand (3 3) (1 vessel). Vessels made using patchwork molding, presumably on base mold. Surfaces processed mechanical smoothing glossing. There are 10 variants combining different tools. variant vessel both surfaces serrated tool. Firing pottery could take place reducing or semireducing gas environment. Conclusion A comparison traditions culture III/20 revealed their similarity. It manifested selection production. dominant recipe compound sites chamotte. overlay. differences range artificial additives used ceramic production, compound, surface treatment options. Pottery Gorodok demonstrates similarity Barsovo products. use sanded as main mineral impurity. also converges Surgut Kulay cultural-historical community due to However, there significant between manifested: it lies shadings flap veneer pottery.
