The origins of pottery technology in Eastern Jazira and the Zagros Mountains can be seen as a process of several stages, from unfired clay and plaster vessels to the fully ceramic technologies of the Proto-Hassuna period. This paper reviews this process and presents a technological analysis of Proto-Hassuna ceramics to investigate the relationships between the pottery traditions at sites in Eastern Jazira and the western part of the Zagros Mountains.

The paper publishes the long-term study results of the Early Neolithic population pottery technology in the Lower, Middle and Upper Don Region. This research was carried out within the framework of the historical and cultural approach by the method of A.A. Bobrinsky. It was based on binocular microscopy, traceology and experiment in the form of physical modeling. 483 samples of ceramics (conditionally separate vessels) were subjected to techno-technological analysis. They originate from the cultural layers of the Rakushechny Yar camp (294) and I Razdorskaya site (4), located in the Lower Don region, as well as 14 sites of the Middle and Upper Don Region containing Karamyshev type ceramics (185). The authors give a general description of the Early Neolithic pottery of the Don region and a comparative analysis of the data on pottery technology of the Lower, Middle and Upper Don Region population. The problems of the origin and distribution of early Neolithic pottery traditions are considered, the similarities and differences in the neolithization process in the Don region and the Volga region are distinguished.

В статье представлены результаты технологического анализа круговой керамики XI – первой половины XII вв. из нижних пластов раскопа 2013 г. на Конюшенном дворе в Ростове. Технологическое изучение керамики проводилось по методике А.А. Бобринского. В производстве использовались преимущественно сильнозапесоченные ожелезненные глины с дресвой и органикой. К редким традициям относится применение шамота. Предположительно с импортными сосудами связано использование неожелезненной глины и песка. В результате прямой зависимости между формой венчика и технологией не выявлено. Керамику одной морфологической группы изготавливали, вероятно, разные группы гончаров. The report outlines the results of technological analysis of circular ceramics made in the XI – the first half of the XII centuries from the lower layers of the excavation that took place in 2013 at the Livery yard in Rostov. Technological study of ceramics was held according to A. A. Bobrinsky methodology. Hard oversanded ferruginized clay with grus and organic were generally used for ceramics manufacture. Chamotte as material was used quite rarely. Unferruginized clay and sand were presumably typical for imported vessels. The study revealed no direct relation between rim shape and pottery technology. It is likely that ceramics of the same morphological group was made by different groups of potters.

Different approaches of pottery making analysis are represented in this article. Major role is devoted to the description of technological traces, which can be observed on pottery of early-late neolithic in dnepr-dvina region, as well as to variety of methods that can be used in the analysis of ceramics manufacture techniques. different ethnographic evidences are discussed here, which allow interpreting changes occurred in technological sphere, that might not always be connected with cultural factors. description of operational sequences used for pottery making dated to early-late neolithic of this region, is represented in this article. characteristic features of these techniques, existed at different periods are analyzed, as well as changes occurred in different parts ofexisted operational sequences. it is supposed that similarity of decor, technology of pottery making, and vessels forms, typical for synchronous sites located in different parts of dnepr-dvina region, might be a marker of one society lived on this territory. Whereas local features in vessels form, decor, and technology of pottery assemblages located on definite sites within small microregions, might reflect cultural identity of society/societies lived there.

Развитие гончарной технологии прошло в своем развитии несколько этапов, и все они зафиксированы на территории восточной части Северной Месопотамии и гор Загроса (Северный Ирак и Западный Иран). Древнейшая керамика Северного Ирака с большой вероятностью технологически связана с керамическими комплексами Загроса. Широкое распространение керамики в регионе фиксируется в период протохассуны, технология изготовления которой подробно рассмотрена в статье. Development of pottery production technology went through several stages recorded in the eastern part of Upper Mesopotamia and the Zagros Mountains (Northern Iraq and Western Iran). The earliest pottery of Northern Iraq is more likely to be linked technologically to pottery assemblages in the Zagros Mountains. Wide dissemination of pottery in the region is recorded in the Proto Hassuna period. The paper considers in details the production technology of this period.

The article gives the results on the problem of pottery technology usage in the population which left a multilayered stratified settlement of the neo-Eneolithic Age of Rakushechny Yar. It is located on the island of Porechny in the riverbed of the Don river, which is near Razdorskaya village of Rostov Region in Russian Federation. This research is a long-term study concerning the problem of ancient pottery technology usage in Eastern European territory of Russia. The author found it is important to use both the historical and cultural approach and the method of A.A. Bobrinskiy. This method includes binocular microscopy, tracology and physical modeling experiment. The authors studied 294 samples of ceramics (separate vessels approximately) in Rakushechny Yar. Thus, the article describes the techniques and methods for selecting plastic raw materials, composing molding masses, making vessels, giving a general description of the Lower Don region Early Neolithic pottery. Moreover the author uses the comparative analysis to describe the new knowledge and give more information on the problem concerning the pottery technology usage in these regions. The author gives similar and different specific features of the neolithization process in the Don and the Volga regions as well as the questions concerning the origin and the development of early Neolithic pottery traditions in south steppe zone of the Eastern Europe.

This article presents the largest collection of Early Neolithic pottery in the Southern Angara region, which was found at the Ust-Khaita site. The problem of the correlation between burials and settlements of the Neolithic in the South of Central Siberia has not been resolved yet. Therefore, there are two periodization schemes, which are based on the materials of burials and settlements. The second scheme is based on pottery, which is the main source for the study of historical and cultural processes in the Neolithic. That is why, it is important to study large collections of ceramics. One of the largest was found at the Ust-Khaita site. It is located in the Belaya river’s middle flow. The excavations were carried out in 2000 and the results have not been fully published. In this article we described the pottery of the Early Neolithic and carried out a technical and technological analysis. The Early Neolithic vessels are found in layers 5a and 5 and are divided into two groups. The first group is ceramics with cord impressions. It is called the Khaita type (38 vessels). The second group is ceramics with net impressions (32 vessels). We have identified three types of ornamentation for Khaita pottery. The bottom of the vessel was made on base forms, the role of which was played by other pots. The authors obtained new confirmation of the use of ornamented fragments or small vessels as anvils for knocking out the walls of Khaita pots. In particular, we found that the knolls on the inner surface are traces of the use of fragments decorated with pricks like anvils. Net-impressed ceramics show a variety of mesh weaving and mesh printing methods. The facts of use as an anvil for knocking out fragments of Net and Khaita ceramics have been diagnosed. For the first time, a net decor was found at the junction, as well as nail impressions as an element of the ornament. Also there are the vessels in the collection that show a mixture of cord and net pottery features. This fact and the closeness in the morphology and technology of the two groups of ceramics testify to the close interaction of the carriers of these two pottery traditions and their cultural affinity. The location of the Early Neolithic ceramics under conditions of clear stratigraphy made it possible to date these complexes by the 14C method. As a result, their age is determined in the range of ~8400–6900 cal BP and it puts Ust-Khaita in a number of objects with the earliest dates for these ceramics in the Southern Angara region and the Cis-Baikal.
