Cultural planigraphy and topochronology of the Stary Moskovsky Trakt-4 and Stary Moskovsky Trakt-5 settlements in northwestern Baraba forest-steppe (preliminary results)

Based on the results of 2016-2018 excavations of the Stary Moskovsky Trakt-4 and Stary Moskovsky Trakt-5 settlements, preliminary conclusions about the planigraphy of Neolithic and Early Metal Age complexes are presented. Materials of 2018 research are described. The artifacts attributable to the Comb-Pit cultural complex are located close to the eastern border of the terrace (southeastern periphery of the Stary Moskovsky Trakt-5 settlement and the northern part of the Stary Moskovsky Trakt-4). However, the relationship between comb-pit pottery and dwellings No. 1-8 of the Stary Moskovsky Trakt-4 settlement remains unclear. Archaeological works in eastern parts of the sites will be continued.
