A Chronological Study of Pottery from the Kamchatka Peninsula

AMS放射性碳测年表明，托卡列夫文化陶器的年代为3世纪至9世纪，旧科里亚克文化陶器的年代为9世纪至13世纪。在堪察加的西海岸，陶器从8世纪开始使用，至少一直生产到13世纪。在半岛的东海岸，从11世纪到13世纪，覆盖着卷曲绳索印记的粘土船只出现了。除了这种类型的陶器，13世纪到17世纪也使用了具有更复杂的棍状和翻盖装饰的陶瓷。奈吉陶器与千岛阿伊奴的形成过程有着密切的关系，可以分为两种年代状态。较老的阶段是从15世纪下半叶到17世纪上半叶，较新的阶段是从17世纪下半叶到19世纪初。

AMS radiocarbon dating indicates that the Tokarev Culture pottery is dated to a period from the 3rd to the 9th century, and the age of the Old Koryak Culture pottery is from the 9th to the 13th century. On the western coast of Kamchatka, pottery came into use in the 8th century, and it was produced at least until the 13th century. On the eastern coast of the peninsula, clay vessels covered by impression of coiled cord occurred during a period from the 11th to the 13th century. As well as this type of pottery, ceramics with more complex ornament by stick and clamshell was also used from the 13th to the 17th century. Naiji pottery that has a close relationship with the formation process of the Kuril Ainu can be classified into two chronological states. The older stage is from the second half of the 15th century to the first half of the 17th century, and the newer stage is from the second half of the 17th century to the beginning of the 19th century.
