In the study of ceramics, an integrated approach is used to reconstruct all the main stages of pottery development. The article presents the results of studying the technology of making ancient pit-comb and rhomb-pit pottery during the Neolithic and the early Eneolithic periods (from the late fifth to the early third millennia BC). Key words: Neolithic ceramics, ancient pottery, technology, ceramic traditions, period between the late fifth and early third millennia BC, Karelia
