Kashi Pottery from the Podymalovo-1 Settlement (Based on the Results of Excavations in 2019).

Abstract

The article discusses the Kashin ceramics discovered during the excavations of the Podymalovo-1 settlement in 2019.The first classification of fragments of glazed dishes discovered at this settlement in 2017 was carried out by E.V. Kamaleev. The researcher was able to characterize 16 identified shards, on the basis of which he dated it to the end of the 13th - 14th centuries both as individual cultural strata and the studied complexes. In 2019, during the excavations carried out at the site, A.I. Tuzbekov managed to find 28 more fragments of Kashin dishes. Most of the dishes were heavily fragmented; they had lost their original appearance. However, using the classification developed by V.Yu. Kovalem for glazed ceramics, based on the principle of the primacy of the features of the function of ceramics and the technology of its production in comparison with the features of decor and morphology, the researcher was able to analyze the identified fragments, date individual layers and complexes to the middle — 2nd half of the 14th century and to draw a conclusion about the presence of trade relations of the inhabitants of the settlement with the large urban centers of the Volga region.
