The Early Bronze Age cemetery of Klady and the Majkop-culture in Northwestern Caucasia.
Aleksej D. Rezepkin
Hardcover
The study offers a catalogue of all finds and features from the Maikop-Age Kurgan necropolis at Klady which was excavated by the author nearly completely from 1979 to 1991 and comparable grave inventories. On this basis, it is discussed from which components the Maikop Culture emerged, to what extent a relative chronology can be established through stratigraphy and typology and what can already be said about the absolute dating. Five types of grave constructions were encountered in stratigraphically meaningful contexts, so that four phases can be defined and illustrated in schematic plates of types. The find material indicates connections with the west lasting from Tripol‘e B / Cucuteni A, Amuq F, and Arslantepe VI A until Tripol‘e C1-2, Usatovo, Cernavoda III, and Foltesti I [horizons 8-10 after Parzinger] and supported by C14-dates. Relations with Central Europe exist in the shape of the Novosvobodnaja monuments of a "cultural block" expanding from the Funnel Beaker Culture to the Caucasus and characterized by black burnished pottery and megalithic traditions. Together with Anatolian and Near Eastern elements, it lead to the formation of the Maikop Culture.
