Хліборобство, застигле в глині

Зібрано й упорядковано глиняні вироби, що мають хліборобську символіку. Виділено двікатегорії предметів: речі з хліборобськими зображеннями та вироби, до яких додано зернівкикультурних рослин. На перших наявні як абстрактні символи, що інтерпретуються як хліборобські,так і примітивні реалістичні зображення. Вироби з відбитками зернівок культурних рослин можнарозділити на культові й побутові. Поєднанням того й іншого є певне культове використаннязбіжжя під час виготовлення звичайних речей щоденного вжитку. The author has accumulated and organized clay finds that have agricultural symbols in the article.The material is represented by products from the Neolithic period, when pottery was originated and,accordingly, ornamentation and technologies began to develop.There are two categories of artefacts: objects with agricultural images; products with added grains ofcultivated plants. Products with images are represented by household items: utensils and spindles. Thereare both primitive realistic images and abstract symbols that are interpreted as agricultural. Primitiverealistic images include drawings that schematically like to spikelets (dishes of the Trypillia culture,spindles of the Early Iron Age) and ploughing tools (ware of the Eneolithic period, Lengyel culture, spindlesof the Early Iron Age). The calendar with agricultural signs from Lepesivka site of Chernyakhiv culture canbe included to the conditionally abstract symbolism.The other type of agriculture tradition is the deliberate process of admixture of the grain to the clayproducts. It includes the most popular items: cult figurines, "small loafs", commonware and parts of stoves.There is a set of clay models, which included a plow, a yoke, as well as bull figurines (Early IronAge, Bilsk settlement). This set also brightly illustrates the farming traditions of the ancient population.All these examples emphasize the importance of agriculture in the different peoples, who lived mainlyon the reproduction of the economy. The purpose of my essay is only to pay attention to this interestingphenomenon of perception of the world through the prism of a combination of two traditional industries:agriculture and pottery.
