CERAMICS OF THE SCYTHIAN TIME FROM THE EXCAVATION OF XLVII ON THE
EASTERN SITE OF THE ELIZAVETOVSKOYE SETTLEMENT ON
THE LOWER DON
The
work is devoted to the publication of one of the most widespread
categories of remnants of the material culture of the
Elizavetovskoe settlement, located at the mouth of the Don River.
Rescue work 2023 was carried out in the north-eastern part of the
settlement for the first time in more than 150 years of its study.
During the excavations, a new defensive structure was discovered
for the Elizavetovsky settlement, apparently destroyed as a result
of military expansion no earlier than the third quarter of the 4th
century BCE, which allowed us to clearly separate the discovered
stucco ceramics that existed on its territory. As a result, two
groups were identified from the entire array of studied human
markings: I — the upper stratigraphic layer and II — the lower
stratigraphic column. In turn, the second group was divided into
subgroups, depending on the location of the fragments: to the west
or east of the open defensive ditch and its filling itself. As a
result of the analysis, differences in technology and technique of
making molded ceramics were identified between the groups. In
addition, a change in the morphological features and types of
vessels used on the territory of the settlement was recorded. A
representative series of fragments of the upper parts of vessels
decorated with riveted rollers with various ornamental plots is
considered separately. All of them come from group II and are
completely absent from the upper stratigraphic column. At the same
time, vessels with riveted rollers were extremely sparsely
distributed in the rest of the settlement.
Key
words:
stucco ceramics, vessel ornament, Scythian period, Lower Don,
