Abstract

The relative chronology of events in the Bronze Age in the north of the forest belt was outlined
by S.V. Oshibkina, who identified the Late Kargopol culture in the Eastern Onega and the Sukhona basins of the middle of the II millennium BC – the middle of the I millennium BC, formed on a local Neolithic basis with the participation of small groups of the southern population. Studies of the last 30 years allow author to identify significant eastern / south-eastern components in the cultural genesis of the ancient population of the Middle and Lower Sukhona, which is associated with the nature of the hydrological network of this region. The southeastern component is associated with the spread of the Middle Volga Chirki archaeological culture into the Sukhona basin in the Middle Bronze Age and the spread / formation (?) pottery tradition, close to the Lebyazhskaya archaeological culture of the Northern Urals in the Late Bronze Age. In the Early Iron Age the spread of the Ananyino appearance ceramics with corded and comb-corded ornamentation throughout the river includes the Sukhona basin in the Ananyino cultural and historical area. This paper presents materials of the Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age from the sites of the Middle and Lower Sukhona studied by the author. For the first time, materials of the Motyri-1 settlement (Loshechnaya) with a ceramic assemblage close to the Lebyazhskaya culture are put into the scientific circulation. Scientists see the basis for the formation of the northern Ananyino population in the Lebyazhskaya culture. The description of materials is accompanied by mapping of objects with ceramics of the Chirki, Lebyazhskoye and Ananyino appearance.
