Транскультурация эпохи бронзы по данным анализа гончарной технологии памятников Береговского археологического микрорайона в Башкирском Приуралье
Transculturation of the Bronze Age according to the Analysis of the Pottery Technology of the Monuments of the Beregovsky Archaeological Microdistrict in the Bashkir Urals

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the results of the technical and technological analysis of the ceramic material obtained in the course of the study of the monuments of the Late Bronze Age of the Beregovsky аrchaeological microdistrict located in the Meleuzovsky district of the Republic of Bashkortostan. It is geographically positioned on the right bank of the Belaya River. The microdistrict is characterized by a dense concentration of archaeological monuments on a fairly compact and strictly limited territory of the right bank of the middle reaches of the Belaya River. From the north, the microdistrict is bordered by the Malaya Belaya. The western border is the channel of this river. The Nugush River is a natural southern border. From the east, the microdistrict is limited by the western spurs of the foremost ridges of the Southern Urals (200–400 m in height). The investigated territory occupies a part of the wide (up to 7 km) floodplain, which is divided by numerous dead river channels. The length of the microdistrict is 15–17 km, the total area is 136 km2 . The analysis of ceramics has been carried out within the framework of the historical and cultural approach, according to the methodology developed by A.A. Bobrinsky. In the course of the study, a large number of recipes of molding masses have been identified. This can be associated with the active processes of transformation of adaptive pottery traditions that occurred, probably, during the intercultural contacts between the representatives of the Srubnaya and Alakul archeological cultures.
