Abstract

This article considers the results of an analysis undertaken on pottery recovered mostly from multi-phase Iron Age sites in the Trans-Urals region of Russia. It focuses on a particular project involving fieldwork and the subsequent analysis of archaeological contexts and the laboratory studies of pottery morphology, ornamentation, technology, and statistics, with an attempt to apply the concept of style. This type of research project is unusual for Russian ceramic studies and the article begins with a consideration of the formal typological approach to the study of artefacts, which is a traditional aspect of Russian archaeology and is still the primary focus of many research programmes.

Cet article porte sur les résultats d'analyses de céramique provenant principalement de sites multiphasiques de l'âge du fer des régions transouraliennes de la Russie. L'article fait surtout état d'un projet particulier qui englobe l'enquête sur le terrain, les analyses ultérieures des contextes archéologiques, l'examen au laboratoire de la morphologie, de l'ornementation et de la technologie de la céramique et son étude statistique, tout en essayant de mettre en application la notion de style. Ce type de projet de recherche est inhabituel pour l'étude de la céramique russe. L'article débute ainsi avec une réflexion sur l'approche typologique classique de l'étude des artefacts, qui est un aspect traditionnel de l'archéologie russe et reste le sujet principal de beaucoup de programmes de recherches.

Zusammenfassung

Zusammenfassung

Dieser Beitrag behandelt die Ergebnisse einer Analyse von Keramikfunden, die zumeist in mehrphasigen eisenzeitlichen Siedlungen des Trans-Ural-Gebietes in Russland geborgen wurde. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf einem speziellen Projekt, das die Feldarbeit und die anschließende Analyse archäologischer Kontexte sowie die Laborstudien der Keramikmorphologie, ornamentierung, typologie und statistik umfasst, um das Konzept des Stils näher eingrenzen zu können. Diese Form eines Forschungsprojektes ist für russische Keramikstudien ungewöhnlich, so dass der Aufsatz mit einer Zusammenfassung des formaltypologischen Ansatzes der Artefaktstudien eingeleitet wird, der ein traditioneller Aspekt der Archäologie Russlands ist und noch immer die meisten Forschungsprogramme bestimmt.
