Pottery of posolskaya type was highlighted in the 1970s and was named by the eponymous multilayer\narcheological site Posolskaya (Southern Baikal region). In various embodiments, posolskaya ceramics is\nwidespread in the south of Eastern Siberia. Intensive research of the multilayer stratified objects in\nthe south of Central Siberia allowed to determine its age. At this stage of research its existence in the\nregion can be dated to a wide interval – 6900-4100 years ago (Uncalibrated age), the boundaries of\nwhich require clarification. As a result of the analysis of the posolskaya vessels from the archeological\nsite named after Generalov (River Chuna) some aspects of the molding technique were identified. It\nwas found that they had been constructed from wide tapes and had been stamped thoroughly. On\nthe two vessels were found peculiar techniques that previously had been observed on the materials\nof the Bronze Age in Western Siberia. Each subsequent tape should overlap the previous tape dried\nup, the outer surface of which was stamped with a cord mallet and was treated in the same way.\nAs a result, the negative junction mirror imprinted prints of the cords with the dried positive tape.\nThere were two options of molding of posolskaya type vessels: from the mouth of the mold without\nthe use of the base and the bottom-up and with a split of the body and the bottom. The diagnosis of\nthe technique described above is the key to the reconstruction of the molding process of vessels of\nposolskaya type. For further identification of the type of the program and design one should conduct\na series of additional experimental studies
