The article presents ceramic materials from the excavations on the Pashenkovo Russian medieval settlement of the Golden Horde period, located in the Middle Don. The site is located on the territory of the village of Pashenkovo in the Khokholskiy district of the Voronezh region. The main purpose of the study is to determine the chronology of Russian pottery from the Pashenkovo settlement based on the technical and morphological features of the ceramics and a comparative analysis with materials from other sites, located on the territory of the Middle and Upper Don. All analyzed ceramic material from the Pashenkovo settlement comes from the filling of the pit and the layers above it, which represent a single complex. Individual finds from the territory of the site made it possible to tentatively date it within the XIV century. The analyzed pottery consisted of more than one thousand fragments, which included fragmented upper profile parts, walls and bottoms of pots. As a result of the work carried out on the archaeological site, a pre-Mongol ceramic tradition was identified, which has complete parallels in the Upper Don and Ob regions. The greatest similarity in technical and morphological characteristics, and sometimes complete identity, is found with the pottery from the Semiluki settlement, located 45 km upstream of the Don river on its right bank. Based on the obtained data, the authors propose to date the pottery assemblage of the Pashenkovo settlement within the second half of XIII-first half of XIV century.
