Abstract

The paper addresses one of the most representative and signifi cant categories of items discovered in the cultural layers of the Volga-Kama settlements - a spinning wheel. Zuevoklyuchevskoe I hillfort – one of the largest fortifi ed settlements of the Kama Region - is the origin of arguably the most extensive collection of spinning wheels of the Early Iron Age. The interpretation of spinning wheels as artifacts of the weaving culture in archaic societies, starting from the Neolithic period, is no longer unambiguous. Hence the more relevant references to each complete collection of fi nds. The material, shape and decoration of the spindle wheels originating from the stratifi ed layers of the Ananyino and Piany Bor period are analyzed, and their horizontal and vertical distribution in the cultural layers and sites is assessed, along with the possibility of considering spinning wheels as cultural and chronological indicators.
