Summary/Abstract: Archaeologically, the monuments of Scythian time of the middle reaches of the Seim river are very little studied. This was reflected in the fact that such a massive material as stucco molds for a long time remained without due attention. Ceramics from the settlement of Shiryaevo, where excavations were conducted in 1949-1950 and 2017, are used to analyze the ceramic complex. All known categories of stucco molds are considered: pots, bowls, cups, jugs. Their typology and statistical data are given, allowing to draw certain conclusions of the ethnocultural nature. The results of the research allow us to conclude that the local ceramics has much in common with the ceramics of the Scythian time monuments of other regions of the Dnepro-Donetsk Forest-Steppe, which indicates the genetic connection of the population. At the same time, a number of features of the material complex have been traced, including in pottery traditions, which is explained by the border of the middle reaches of the river Sejm with a forest zone and contacts with carriers of other cultural traditions.
