The Upper Volga culture (UVC) in the Volga and Oka basin is one of the earliest pottery cultures in Eastern Europe. The Sakhtysh IIa site is attributed to the core area of the UVC, with pottery encompassing all stages of this culture. A detailed analysis of artefact deposition in different lay­ers allows the creation of chronological models of early pottery development in this region. A series of new radiocarbon dates of food crust on pottery sherds which typologically belong to different stages of UVC at Sakhtysh IIa, as well as an overview of the oldest pottery are presented in this article.

Статья посвящена результатам исследования жилища на стоянке Байбек в Северном Прикаспии. Планиграфические данные позволили представить его конфигурацию, размеры и конструктивные особенности. Стратиграфические наблюдения свидетельствуют о специфике его функционирования. Технико-типологические признаки керамического и каменного инвентаря подтверждают культурное единство комплекса и его отношение к каиршакскому типу. Радиоуглеродные даты указывают на начало первой четверти VI тыс. до н. э. и подтверждают сооружение заглубленных в материк жилищ на данной территории уже в раннем неолите. Палинологические образцы дают информацию не только о природно-климатической ситуации в этот период, но и о строительных деталях жилища. В археозоологических определениях представлены лишь дикие виды животных (преобладают кулан и благородный олень) и рыб. Липидный анализ показал, что в нагаре содержатся признаки растительной и животной пищи. Вся совокупность данных свидетельствует, что Северный Прикаспий был одним из наиболее ранних регионов перехода к неолиту в Восточной Европе. . The paper presents results of studying a dwelling at Baybek in the northern Caspian region. Planigraphic data enabled the authors to describe its configuration, size and design features. Stratigraphical observations demonstrate specific features of its use. Technical and typological traits of ceramic and stone tools confirm that all objects from this assemblage belong to the same culture of the Kairshak type. Radiocarbon dates put the site around the beginning of the first quarter of 6 mill. BC and confirm that sunken-bottomed dwellings were constructed in this area in the Early Neolithic. Palynological samples provide information not only on the nature and the climatic situation in that period, but also on construction elements of the dwellings. Archaeozoological assemblage includes only wild species of animals (kulan and red deer prevailing) and fish. According to the lipid analysis, encrusted deposits adhering to the interior or exterior surface of vessels are associated with plant and animal food. The corpus of data clearly demonstrates that the northern Caspian region was one of the earliest territories in Eastern Europe where transition to the Neolithic took place.

Radiocarbon Chronology

The radiocarbon dates obtained on materials from archaeological sites of the Low and Middle Povolzhye are presented in this article. The analysis of the complex of radiocarbon dates allowed a determination of the most appropriate dates for forming chronological schemes of cultural development in this region. The chronological frameworks of the Early Neolithic in the Low Povolzhye were determined from 6600–5500 cal BC; in the Middle Povolzhye they are from 6500 to 4600 cal BC.

Sakhtysh II burial ground (Central Russia) belongs to the final stage of the Eneolithic Volosovo culture evolution. The Upper-Volga expedition IA RAS conducted the research there during 1960-1980. About twenty ritual hoards were discovered at Sakhtysh II consisting of artifacts clusters with traces of fire exposure. Among them there is a variety of fishing tools: serrated edges, harpoons, fishing hooks. We believe that the coracoid artefacts made of bone, the purpose of which is still debated, are also harpoons. The variety of the fishing tools forms allow us to speak about the specialization in fishing. Time of use of these hoards is based on coal samples from the ritual hearths which have been determined by radiocarbon dates: 3820 40, 3900 40, 4190 50 BP (Le-2617, 2613, 2615). However, dating of animal bones (bear and badger) from two hoards (№ 9 and 11) in 2017 at the Belfast laboratory provided new AMS dates: 4730 41 and 4445 37. The significant difference between new and previous dates may depend on the reservoir effect, due to the fact that the diet of these omnivorous animals included fish as well as the fact that these two hoards were located outside the main ritual areas, belonging to an earlier time.

The characteristics of the oldest pottery in Eastern Europe, located in three main regions, the Lower Don and Lower and Middle Volga, and a description of different Early Neolithic types of pottery production are described in this article. We present ideas on how and when the oldest pottery traditions were distributed through Eastern Europe according to radiocarbon dates. Also, models of the Neolithisation of Eastern Europe are suggested based on archaeological evidence and absolute chronology.

Neolithic Pottery

From the 1800’s and onwards, pottery sherds have been found at a number of Neolithic occupation sites in Rogaland County, Southwestern Norway. In this paper, pottery assemblages from nine contexts are analyzed in order to produce an interpretative chronology. Typological analysis is combined with correspondence analysis and Bayesian modelling of radiocarbon dates. The result is a coherent chronological model that accounts for variations in pottery decoration styles between the late Early Neolithic and the Late Neolithic. There is a development in decorative styles from cord and cord-stamp ornamented vessels followed by a period of pots decorated with cord-stamp, small imprints and incisions, and finally a phase with added lines, comb, and cord-stamp. However, the multi-phased nature of the sites suggests that there are still many unanswered questions. New excavations and re-analyses of older sites are necessary for a better understanding of the developments in Neolithic pottery styles.

Zamostje 2, on the Dubna River, c.100km north of Moscow, appears to offer an ideal opportunity to understand the relative and absolute chronology of Upper Volga Early Neolithic pottery. More than 100 radiocarbon (14C) dates are available from a stratigraphic sequence which spans from the Late Mesolithic to the Middle Neolithic. All typological stages are represented among over 18,000 sherds of Early Neolithic pottery, and many of these sherds bear deposits of carbonised food remains (food-crusts), which can be dated directly by 14C; more than 30 food-crusts have been dated directly. Nevertheless, there remains considerable uncertainty about the date range of Upper Volga pottery at Zamostje 2, and many of the issues raised are relevant to dating early pottery at other sites. Moreover, the absolute chronology of Upper Volga pottery must have some bearing on the interpretation of 14C dates for pottery from adjoining regions. In this paper, we discuss alternative interpretations of the Zamostje 2 evidence.

Nowadays, Underground space exploitation is one of the directions of the main focus in the construction of Hangzhou. This paper comprehensively introduces the schematic design of the underground space exploitation of Hangzhou east station, combined with the underground space development project of the core area in Hangzhou eastern new city zone. Firstly, the background of the surrounding area is discussed to illuminate the important status of the core area of eastern new city zone in Hangzhou’s future construction. Then, the holistic design concept and construction goal of the underground space exploitation of the core area are presented, and its functions and layout are clarified focusing on the railway construction and circumjacent exploitation project of Hangzhou east station. Lastly, the executive plan about the underground space exploitation of the core area of Hangzhou eastern new city zone is expatiated comprehensively.
