COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE BORIAN AND GARIN CERAMIC COMPLEXES OF THE ENOOLITE EPOCH ON THE TERRITORY OF PERM PREDURAL
The article presents the results of comparing the external morphological and ornamental characteristics of the Garin and Borian ceramic complexes of the Middle Urals. The ceramic complexes of 7 archaeological sites of the Perm Ural region were analyzed: 47 vessels of Borian culture and 160 vessels of Garin culture. A structural analysis of the ceramic ornament was carried out on the basis of the scheme proposed by Yu.B. Cetlin. As a result of comparison of ceramic complexes, one can note the following: the external morphological characteristics of the vessels of Borian and Garin cultures have much in common. For example, the surface of the vessels of these cultures was subjected to treatment with a solid object with internal, and sometimes externally. In addition, the vessels of these cultures are characterized by flattened and rounded corollas, as well as the straight and open form of the neck. For Borian collections, thick-walled vessels are typical, while Garin vessels have both small and large wall thickness. The rectangular shape of the comb-shaped elements prevailed on the vessels of the Garin culture, while oval-shaped combed impressions predominated on the vessels of Borian culture. On the vessels of the Garin culture, impressions with a large number of teeth prevailed, and on the vessels of the Borian culture impressions with an average number of teeth. On boric vessels there are nodules of predominantly rectangular shape of very large length and medium width, on Garinsky vessels - round shape of small and medium length and medium width. The ornamental elements of the ornament are represented on the vessels of the boron culture by round and square shapes, medium length and large width. On the vessels of the Garin culture, there are pit depressions of round, oval, triangular and square shape, of various sizes. The most common motifs of the ornament on the vessels of the Bor and Garin cultures are rows of inclined right and left impressions of the comb stamp. On the vessels of the Garin culture, a greater variety of motifs, including complex motifs, is noted, which are absent on the vessels of Bor culture.
