Neolithic Settlement Sulukol 1

The article addresses the interaction of the steppe (Mahanjar) and forest (Boborykinо) Neolithic populations at the Sulukol 1 settlement. The settlement is located in Turgai (Northern Kazakhstan). As part of the study, a technical and typological analysis of stone implements using binocular microscopy and a technical and technological analysis of a ceramic collection using petrographic analysis and binocular microscopy were carried out. The main result of the work was the conclusion that the ensemble of finds deposited at the Sulukol 1 site demonstrates common features of the stone industry and pottery techniques of the Neolithic of Turgai and the Trans-Urals. At the same time, there are a number of features that suggest some syncretic nature of the Sulukol materials, due to the interaction of the Turgai and Trans-Urals Neolithic. The nature of these interactions, most likely, has a socio-cultural aspect, expressed in the creation of mixed family and marriage groups
