The paper presents an analysis of the most studied Neolithic cultures of the forest belt from Scandinavia and the Eastern Baltic States to the Volga-Kama region and the Urals (7th-4th Millennia BC). The analysis was carried out using the following elements of the Neolithic package: ceramics, polished woodworking tools, long-term dwellings, large burial grounds, shrines and imported items. In the course of the study, the materials representing 16 archaeological cultures of this region were collected by the author. As a result, the most developed Neolithic cultures of the forest belt were identified, with due account of the currently existing data. The most common features – ceramics and polished woodworking tools – were also identified. The rare feature is the presence of shrines. Conclusions are made on the level of development of the studied cultures.
