У статті розглядається питання використання керамічних комплексів як основи для ілюстрації синхронного побутування керамічних форм на
широких територіях. Автором відібрано та проаналізовано різні типи комплексів з 42 поселень,
городищ, могильників. Враховано датування та відносну хронологію, запропоновану дослідниками цих пам'яток.
This paper deals with the question of using ceramic
complexes as a foundation for isochronal existence of
ceramic in wide areas.
Author analyzed three types of ceramic complexes such
as covered complexes, complexes considered as closed
and uncovered complexes. The definition of covered ceramic
complex is the one which finished it existing in one
moment, was preserved and didn’t change ever after. For
instance it could be a tomb, a treasure, a burned building,
an inner space of oven (for ceramic complexes). The
second one — complex considered as closed is the complex which combines some artifacts that were dated as
isochronal for particularly period of existence (for example, settlement existence). It could be middle and lower
stratum of building filling or specific building horizon as well. The third one — is a summation of findings which
were uncovered in a way we could not be sure of their isochronal existence. Such complex could be formed for
a long period instead of covered complex and an example of it could be the stratum of settlement filled of finds. The
last types of complexes were used by author only in a case of absence any other marks for ceramic dating.
Several types of ceramic complexes discovered in 42 rural settlements, hillforts, and burials were selected and
analyzed by author. The dating and comparative chronology proposed by investigators was considered by author.
