The publication introduces the ceramic complex of the Kempirtas burial ground into scientific circulation. Technological
analysis of ceramics was carried out within the framework of the historical
and cultural approach to the study of ancient pottery, developed by A.A. Bobrinsky. The study showed that for the manufacture of
dishes, medium-ferruginous, slightly sandy clays (100%) were used, and as a
result of studying the degree of sandiness of the clays and the composition
of natural mineral impurities, two “places” for the extraction of initial
plastic raw materials were identified. Analysis of the molding masses made it
possible to find out that the most widespread recipe was “was
clay + clear and milky quartzite crushed mineral + organic solution” (88.2%),
which indicates the homogeneity of the population that left this monument. Thus,
by analyzing the traditions of choosing raw materials and composing molding
compounds, namely their high degree of uniformity, it is possible to assume
that the population was related. The vessels of open and closed rims are
noted in the same quantity (46.7% each). Analysis of the ornamentation made
it possible to identify two traditions of decorating tableware — comb and
smooth. The materials from the Kempirtas burial
ground are included in the circle of burial objects of the Alakul (Atasu) cultural and
historical community of |
