Summary/Abstract: The article defines typology of small Maikop-Novosvobodnaya community vessels, which are commonly known in archaeological literature as beakers and tulip-shaped vessels. There is a perception that these forms are similar to the vessels of the funnel beaker cultures, and reflect the migration of the latter tribes to the Ciscaucasia, which enabled the formation of Novosvobodnaya group of sites. The article presents a typological analysis of the Western Caucasus beakers and an overview of the forms of goblets of Trichtenbecher culture published by R. Kossian (2005). The author concludes about almost complete absence of typical ornamented Trichtenbecher beakers in Western Ciscaucasia. This outcome of the benchmarking analysis does not enable treating the carriers of the funnel beaker cultures as initiators of the formation of spiritual and material culture of the Novosvobodnaya community tribes in the piedmont Adygea.
