КЕРАМИКА РАННЕГО ЖЕЛЕЗНОГО ВЕКА С ПОСЕЛЕНИЯ ТУХ-ЭМТОР-IV (бассейн р. Васюган )

The article presents the results of a study of ceramics of the Kulai cultural and historical community from the settlement of Tukh-Emtor-IV , located in the basin of the Vasyugan river on the shore of Lake Tuh-Emtor. The complex of ceramics of the Early Iron Age from this site is being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. Ceramics of the Sarov stage have been identified for the first time, which indicates a small influx of this population to the Vasyugan. The research was conducted within the framework of a historical-and-cultural approach. The features of raw material, the composition of the pottery paste and the ornament were studied. For the technical and technological analysis, 22 fragments are presented: 19 — the Vasyugan stage of the Kulai culture and 3 — the Sarov stage. The Vasyugan vessels are made of iron clay. Clays are usually heavily sanded. As a rule, there are a lot of fine natural sand inclusions in clays. In the preparation of pottery paste, mineral impurities were usually not added. The vessels of the Sarovsky stage are made of iron clay, one vessel is made of plastic raw materials, two of the slightly sanded. Chamotte was added to the pottery paste. Currently, it can be argued that 3 traditions have been identified in the preparation of molding masses: 1) with chamotte; 2) with broken stone temper and 3) without mineral impurities, each of which has its own distribution territory (Priketiye, Tomsk Ob region, Vasyugan). This makes it possible to establish the direction of contacts of the population in the era under consideration
