About the patterns of interaction between the bearers of autochthonous and intrusive cultural pottery traditions during the bronze to iron age transition in the West Siberian forest-steppe

We presents here the results of analyzed ceramic complexes the Bronze to Iron Age transition in the West Siberian forest-steppe. We marked out two types of sites: 1 - with autochthonous ceramic tradition; 2 - multicomponent. Analysis of the second type supposes three patterns of the interaction between the bearers of autochthonous and intrusive cultural pottery traditions. 1 - mechanical. It marks by exclusively “imported” pottery without the trace od adaptation to local environment (Chicha 1 hillfort, Linevo 1 settlement). 2 - syncretic. It is fixed at sites, where ceramic collections demonstrated not only the appearance of new population, but also the synchronous existence of the different cultural groups, their interaction and mixing in the frame of single complex. Syncretic pottery is a result of these processes. The collections of Chicha 1 hillfort, Linevo 1 settlement show the numerous and various examples of the contacts and presence of syncretic ceramic complexes. Researchers noticed such processes at the sites of Irtysh Region and Transurals, Achinsk-Mariinsk forest-steppe, Tomsk-Narym Ob Region. 3 - mediate, as a result of realized second pattern. It is associated with appearance of population, who became the bearers of syncretic pottery. The movement of population is archaeologically fixed by the presence of ceramics with combined traits and absence of “primary” clean component. The example of such pattern is the material from Mylnikovo settlement, where the bearers of figured-stamp tradition of pottery ornamentation had appeared in refashion, with lost or mixed technics and had not influenced on the common line of cultural development. These patterns can be fixed at the single site synchronously. Usually, in this case, they belong to different ceramic tradition. The educed patterns are applied to characteristic of other historical periods, because they translate the common trends of interaction between heterocultural ceramic traditions.
