Abstract

The study of the settlement of the Central European Plain during the Late Glacial time has until recently been hampered by the predominance of the view that large glacial lakes were widespread in the upper Volga basin during the Valdai (Weichselian) glaciation, which prevented settlement of vast territories and population migration to the ice-free Fennoscandia from the east and south-east. According to the glacial lake concept, the lowlands along the Dubna River – a tributary of the Volga River – were occupied by the vast Tver Lake in the Late Valdai epoch, the presence of which was previously thought to exclude the possibility of its development until the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary, when the process of deglaciation finally drained those areas. To test this concept, special geoarchaeological studies were undertaken, which included, in addition to traditional archaeological research, the study of the development history of landscapes by methods of geology and geomorphology. It was established that fluvial rather than lacustrine environments dominated the area during the Late Valdai Ice Age, which made possible its occupation by prehistoric population. In support of that, radiocarbon ages of around 15,500 cal BP were obtained from the artifacts corresponding the initial settlement of the Dubna Lowland. The pioneers were populations of the Resseta culture with the East Gravettian traditions. Later, in the Early Holocene, there is a transformation of the Ressetian industry into the Zadnepilevo culture. Seasonal migrations of the Ressetian and Zadnepilevian population are recorded not only by materials of the East European Plain, but also the Scandinavian Peninsula, where the monuments of “eastern impulse” are represented.

冰川晚期和全新世早期东欧平原中心伏尔加河上游地区的初步定居(基于对扎博洛茨基泥炭沼泽地区的地质考古研究)
直到最近,对晚期冰川时期中欧平原定居情况的研究一直受到以下观点的阻碍:在瓦尔代(魏希塞利)冰川时期,伏尔加河流域上游广泛分布着大型冰川湖,这阻碍了广大地区的定居和人口从东部和东南部向无冰的芬诺斯坎迪亚的迁移。根据冰川湖概念,伏尔加河支流杜布纳河沿岸的低地在瓦尔代晚期被广阔的特维尔湖占据,以前认为特维尔湖的存在排除了其发展的可能性,直到更新世-全新世边界,脱冰川过程最终将这些地区排干。为了验证这一观点,我们开展了专门的地质考古研究,除了传统的考古研究外,还利用地质学和地貌学的方法对地貌的发展历史进行了研究。研究结果表明,在瓦尔代冰期晚期,该地区的主要环境是河川环境而非湖泊环境,这使得史前人群有可能占领该地区。为了证明这一点,从杜布纳低地最初定居的文物中获得了大约公元前 15500 年的放射性碳年龄。先驱者是具有东格拉维蒂传统的雷塞塔文化的居民。后来,在全新世早期,雷塞塔工业转变为扎德内皮列沃文化。不仅东欧平原,斯堪的纳维亚半岛的材料也记录了雷塞塔人和扎德内皮列沃人的季节性迁徙,那里有 "东方冲动 "的遗迹。
