Кремнеобробна майстерня в с. Межиріч та деякі проблеми пізнього енеоліту Волині

Abstract

In 2016–2017, a flint workshop dating back to 3700–3600 BC was discovered. The research also provided ceramic artefacts of the Trypillian culture and syncretic relicts, combining the features of this culture and western units. The ceramics from this workshop and similar vessels, including those with the features of the Volhynia-Lublin culture from Horiva-Pidłużzja, belong to the early stage of the Brynzeny group in Western Volhynia. They also indicate that the end of the assemblages with Volhynia-Lublin features can be associated with the period around 3600–3500 BC.

In the period of 3600–3500 BC, in the region of central Horynia, the history of artefacts of the Brynzen group began in this area. Moreover, in recent years, the settlement of stages BII (Ostrog-Zeman; settlement and burial ground; Liuczin; Rozważ) and CI (Mezhyrich-Vygin, Slobidka-Berezina) has also been identified and examined in the Ostrog district. In the middle of the Ikwa river, large flint workshops have been recorded, where macroblades were produced (Sapanow, Stowpiec). Recently, V. Tkach has also discovered in this region ceramics similar to the items from Ostrog-Zeman.
