Typochronological studies on Tripolie societies.
The study of typochronology in Tripolie has a long tradition, starting from the 1920s. By the beginning of the 21st century, the main cultural and chronological lines of development of Tripolie had already been outlined. However, there are certain drawbacks with these schemes: different criteria (mainly evolution of ceramic complexes) were used for the type differentiation and building the chronological systems; they often have a regional character; they are not confirmed by C14 data; different regions have been studied unequally; in some of them an apparent lack of data is observed.
Due to such a situation, there is a need to create a chronological scheme for the development of this societies which should be based not only on ceramics, but also on absolute dating, on the size and layout of settlements, technological development (including architecture, as far as it is possible), and other factors. It is suggested to compare the ceramic development with other lines of development, for example the emergence of innovations (such as cargo sledges, kilns, mega-structures, etc.), with the development and transformation of ideology etc.
For this purpose, there will be examined selected basic sites in three test regions, on the basis of which it is proposed to create a chronology, and try to interpolate it in a certain way to other territories where Tripolian settlements are found.
