Journal Title: Поволжская Археология - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 19
Abstract
The authors publish first findings of archaeological studies (2013–2014) on Lebyazhinka VI Eneolithic settlement, which is situated on the Sok River in Samara Oblast. They describe stratigraphy, structures, ceramic complexes, bone and stone tools. The settlement yielded debris of four pit-houses, of which one was fully investigated. There are four groups of Eneolithic ceramic sherds. The first one includes ceramics with the “inner rib”, the second is similar to Chekalino IV and Tok type items, and the third one is close to the vessels from Lebyazhinka III settlement. The fourth group belongs to ceramics of Khvalynskaya culture. Ornamentation with comb stamp is typical for all groups, supplemented with rope prints in the third and fourth groups. The stone inventory mostly consists of tools made on flakes, and lamellate items are also present. Bone tools and faunal remains, including domestic species, are well represented.
