Finds unearthed at the Suchu settlement in 1974 include lithics, ceramics, and portable art and ritual objects, now owned by the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography in Novosibirsk. Most of them have not been described before. In this study, they are analyzed using methods of stratigraphy, planigraphy (assessment of position within and between dwellings), petrography and typology (lithics), binocular microscopy (ceramics), and chronology (ceramics, objects of portable art and ritual). The results suggest that finds from excavation I (1974) mostly represent the Middle Neolithic (Malyshevo and Kondon cultures and the Belkachi complex),Late Neolithic (Voznesenovskoye culture), and Final Neolithic. Certain artifacts date to the later periods (Bronze and Early Iron Ages and the Middle Ages). Certain ceramics are unrelated to the Lower Amur complexes. A reconstruction of dwellings is attempted. The typological analysis of lithics revealed a variety of tool and spall types. Various minerals were employed, the principal ones being aleurolite, argillite, and siliceous rocks. Most ceramics, portable art, and ritual objects represent the Middle Neolithic Malyshevo and the Late Neolithic Voznesenovskoye cultures
