КЕРАМІЧНІ ЗНАХІДКИ З ТРИПІЛЬСЬКОГО ПОСЕЛЕННЯ ТОПОЛІ
POTTERY FINDS FROM THE TRYPILLIAN SITE TOPOLI

Summary/Abstract: In the 70s years of the XX century the Sabatynivka-type of settlements appeared in the archaeological historiography (V. Danylenko, M. Shmaglii, 1972: 10). Sabatynivka and Berezivska HES were “classical” or “canonical” sites of Sabatynivka-type sites in previous years. Kam`yane-Zavallia, Shamrai and another sites from Southern Bug region were discovered in recent years. These sites researchers attributed to the Sabatynivka-group of sites. The taxonomic status of the group can be refined by detailed study of the complex of finds from these settlements. This may be the part of the research of the Trypillia-Cucuteni cultural-historical community. Topoli is one of such sites. The main aim of the article to determine its pottery complex and find its status in the Trypillia-Cucuteni system. Over the period from 1996 to 2016, as mentioned earlier, a number of settlements were discovered in the Mid Southern Bug region. The Trypillian site Topoli was revealed in 2003 by Oleksandr Peresunchak (Peresunchak, 2014: 174). The first finds in Topoli were burnt clay and fragments of the undecorated pottery. While working in inspections with employees from the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences in Ukraine, the researchers managed to collect a collection of pottery, which consists of 484 fragments. Researchers attributed this settlement to the Trypillia stage B1 (Peresunchak, 2014: 174; Burdo,2015: 14). A pottery collection must comply with this stage sites to determine the chronology. The pottery complex is the most numerous of the groups of finds from group of finds. The author identified the categories of the pottery from this settlement and ornamental styles according to N. Burdo. The author also considered the dating of the settlement in the context of similar settlements. In the work of N. Burdo (Burdo, 2015: 19-22), four main categories of the pottery from the Sabatynivka-type of settlements and the subcategories from these categories were identified. The collection has examples of all categories, which presented in different quantities.
