The article features the results of rescue investigation of the Maltsevo IV site located on a low fl oodplain dune in the lower reaches of the Toyma river, the right tributary of the Kama (Republic of Tatarstan). A portion of a frame-and-pillar structure and household pits of the settlement were uncovered at an excavation with an area of 100 square meters. All the ceramic material of the site from the layer and fi lling of the pits corresponds to the Lugovskaya culture of the Late Bronze Age of the Volga-Kama region (17th - 15th centuries BC). This data gives the author opportunity to make a conclusion about the site had a single-layer character. Considering the location, thickness of the cultural layer, and certain features of the buildings, the author suggests a seasonal nature of Maltsevo IV site, associated with the grazing of cattle, which its inhabitants were engaged in.
