In the area of the Podolsk Upland and the Upper Dniester in the second half of the 5 th and first half of the 4 th millennia BC the communities of three Eneolithic cultures periodically co-existed: Tripolye (stages BII, CI), Malice (late phase) and Lublin-Volhynian (classical phase). For these cultures, the mentioned area was a peripheral zone of ranges upon which various mutual relations, manifested in ceramic and flint production, took place. The most explicit evidence of intercultural relations are manifested in the pottery production, when the technical and stylistic traditions are diffused among culturally different communities, living on the same or neighbouring territories. To identify the nature of the intercultural relationship, an analysis of selected ceramic collections was carried out, taking into account the successive stages of production: raw material selection, ceramic mass preparation, forming vessels along with surface treatment, decorating and firing. We also used petrographic analyzes and chromatography-mass spectrometry to determine the organic components of the ceramic painting of the Tripolye and Lublin-Volhynian cultures.
The study addresses remains of two peculiar graves unearthed at the site Mikulin 9 in the Dobużek Scarp (Pol. Skarpa Dobużańska) area in Western Volhynia. Unique character of the burials under consideration consists in the peculiarity of funeral ritual performed, scenario of which was basically divided into two acts of burning of the deceased – once on cremation pyres, and then in the eventual places of their interment (grave pits). Both the graves under consideration as well as analogical finds from the western part of the Lublin-Volhynian Upland and its northern foreland can be connected with an impact form the Pontic area and dated back to the Early Scythian Period. Historically, their presence is commonly considered as a result of westward migrations of forest-steppe people form the area of nowadays Ukraine triggered by the appearance of Indo-Iranian Scythian tribes. In the case of the presented burials no less significant from the peculiar eastern burial rite performed seem their localization. When discussing the Dobużek Scarp area as a destiny point of one of such migrations, clearly Pontic character of the escarpment’s physiography should be taken into consideration. The local conditions of the already unsettled loess paha of Dobużek escarpment must have peculiarly attracted pastoral communities arriving from the east. Moreover, the graves were placed in a very exposed point within the preexisting prehistoric landscape, to wit – they were dug into today non-existent but then dominating the area long barrows of the Funnel Beaker Culture. It seems likely that by the act of burying their kinsman into the exposed Eneolithic mounds the incomers tried to create an ancestral tie with the area and thereby justify their presence “here and now”.
Коллективная монография посвящена известному археологическому памятнику-Немировскому городищу на Южном Буге. Основу исследования составили данные, полученные при раскопках городища в ХХ в. и хранящиеся в Научном архиве Института истории материальной культуры РАН, архиве и коллекциях фондов Отдела археологии Восточной Европы и Сибири Государственного Эрмитажа (Санкт-Петербург). Рассмотрена история изучения памятника С. С. Гамченко (1909 г.), А. А. Спицыным (1910 г.) и М. И. Артамоновым (1946-1948 гг.). Подробно освещены два периода заселения территории городища: в энеолите (трипольская культура) и в раннем железном веке (раннескифская культура). Показано значение городища в раннем железном веке, когда в его материальной культуре отложились западный гальштаттский (в широком значении этого термина) импульс и ранние контакты с греками. Предложена общая схема развития материальной культуры Немировского городища в разные исторические эпохи-от энеолита до новейшего времени. Книга состоит из шести глав и девяти приложений, которые включают каталоги индивидуальных находок трипольской культуры, каталог греческой архаической керамики, а также результаты естественнонаучных анализов керамики трипольской культуры, восточногреческой керамики и поверхности ручки бронзового зеркала. Многие архивные материалы и находки из коллекций впервые вводятся в научный оборот. Издание предназначено для археологов, историков, специалистов в смежных областях науки, студентов и всех, интересующихся археологией и древней историей Северного Причерноморья и Европы. The collective monograph is devoted to the famous archaeological site-Nemirov hill-fort on South Bug. At the basis of investigation are the materials from the excavations of the settlement in the 20 th century kept in Scientific Archive of the Institute for the History of Material Culture RAS, Archive and collection funds of the Department of Archaeology of Eastern Europe and Siberia of the State Hermitage Museum (Saint Petersburg). The book reviews the history of the excavation of the site by S. S. Gamchenko (1909), A. A. Spitzyn (1910), and M. I. Artamonov (1946-1948). The book gives a detailed account of two periods of the occupation of the settlement: in Eneolithic time (Trypillia culture) and Early Iron Age (Scythian culture). The authors showed the significance of the hill-fort in the Early Iron Age, when two impulses reflected in its culture-Hallstatt (in the broad meaning of the term) and early contacts with the Greeks. The general scheme of development of the material culture of the hill-fort in different historical periodsfrom Eneolithic time till modern epoch-has been suggested. The book consists of the six parts and nine supplements, which include the catalogues of individual finds of Trypillia culture, Greek Archaic pottery and the results of natural-scientific analyses of Trypillia pottery, East-Greek pottery and of the surface of the bronze mirror handle. A lot of archive materials and finds kept in collections are published for the first time. The book is destined to arc...
