Summary | The Volga-Kama region plays an important role in the understanding of the Neolitization processes of both the local and the neighboring territories cultures. Precise definition of the Volga-Kama cultures correlation requires establishing the reliable chronological boundaries of the individual stages or the entire culture evolution. After 2007 we obtained about 350 dates for a significant number of the Neolithic sites in the region. The studies were performed in various laboratories using both the traditional techniques and the ÀÌS. The study materials included coal, animal bones, soot, soil and organic inclusions in ceramics. This provided for the verification of the obtained values. The significant number of obtained dates added statistic stability to the sample. Processing of the obtained data for each territory of the Volga-Kama region produced the sufficiently reliable chronological boundaries for both the individual archaeological sites and each culture. We established that the Neolithic cultures developed in the Northern Caspian coast in the period between 6600–5500 cal ÂÑ, in the Lower Volga region — 6500–5400 cal ÂÑ, in the forest-steppe Volga region — 6600–4600 cal ÂÑ, in the forest Middle Volga region — 5900–4500 cal ÂÑ, in the Sura area — 6200–4500 cal ÂÑ, and in the Moksha area — in 5500–4500 cal ÂÑ. | ||
