The current focus on the Neolithic complexes from the settlements near Kazakevichevo village (1959-1960 excavation campaign)

The new data, obtained in the Lower Amur River in the second half of 20 - early 21 centuries, gave an opportunity to revise interpretation of Neolithic settlement complexes, previously found near Kazakevichevo village. Collection was obtained during the surveys of 1959 and 1960 and contain the Neolithic artifacts, pottery foremost, remains of all well-known cultures and range of cultural-chronological types. According to morpho-typological analysis, lithic artifacts are compared with Osipovo, Mariinsk, Malyshevo, Kondon and Voznesenovo cultures and Final Neolithic complex also. The cultural chronological analysis determined that pottery is related to cultures mentioned above and “Petropavlovsk” and “Boisman ” types. Cultural and chronological analysis of the pottery has determined that it belongs to the above cultures, to “Peter and Paul” and “Boisman” types. We give a modern estimate to stadied materials. Osipovo ceramics divided into two groups, one of them is more archaic. Mariinsk is correlated with the later development stages in comparison with materials from Suchu. We marked out early and developed complex within a Malyshevo. Ceramic “Boisman” type correlates with second and fourth development stages in Primorsky culture and materials from Amurzet site (Middle Amur). Each ceramic complex has the analogies with the other Lower Amur sites. These data permit to determine the area near Kazakevichevo village as the transitional zone, where Neolothic population from the Amur and Ussuri Regions contacted. The home areas of Mariinsk and Voznesenovo culture were considered deeply.
