Summary/Abstract: The work is devoted to the publication of a new radiocarbon chronology of the Neolithic-Bronze Age period of the region in the southeast of the Gulf of Finland. The material for the study was obtained during the authors’ excavations in recent years. Eight different archaeological cultures (ceramic traditions) have been identified in the region, and new dates have been obtained for each of them — a total of 21 dates, of which 20 have been obtained using the AMS method. The Neolithic period includes three different traditions of the Comb Ware cultures — Rhomb-pit Ware, Typical Comb Ware, and Comb Ware with combined admixture, the chronological boundaries of which are limited to the 4th millennium BC. Then, after a chronological gap in the second quarter of the 3rd millennium BC, the Corded Ware culture appears. Partially synchronous with it are dated sites with Textile ceramics with an admixture of organics (the last third of the 3rd millennium — the second quarter of the 2nd millennium BC). Then, after a significant break, the tradition of Textile ceramics of the Bronze Age continues in the form of a local group of Textile ceramics of the Galik type, which is dated to the end of the 2nd — beginning of the 1st millennium BC. The Volkhov type sites belong to the end of the Bronze Age. As a result, a model of chronological development of different archaeological cultures has been created for the sites from the southeastern coast of the Gulf of Finland for the period of cca. 4000—0 BC.
