Summary Settlements with a similar material culture dominated in the West Siberian taiga zone in the 6th and 5th millennia BC. They are characterized by pottery with rounded bottoms, thin walls and incised ornamentation. In the upper and middle Konda River area and in the basin of the Severnaya Sosva River such pottery is identified as belonging to the Umyt’insky and Chestyjyagsky cultural type, respectively, in the mid-Ob region it relates to the Bystrinsky archaeological culture. The Chilimka V settlement is situated in the lower section of the Konda River basin, on the border of the Bystrinsky and Umyt’insky areas. It was investigated by I. G. Glushkov in 1988. The Chilimka V complex characterized by pottery with rounded bottoms, thin walls and incised ornamentation was defined as a “Chilimkinsky ceramic type”. The genesis of this type, according to I. G. Glushkov and T. N. Sobolnikova, is connected with migrations of Kelterminar population to the taiga zone in the 3rd millennium BC. The fundamental question of the definition of the “Chilimkinsky ceramic type”, which arose during the development of the modern cultural and chronological scheme of the Neolithic, required to re-examine the materials of the excavations. We have established that the site is multi-layered. The Neolithic dwelling was penetrated by several late Neolithic burials. In addition, some shards of the Bronze Age were discovered. The analysis of Neolithic ceramics demonstrates its objective similarity to both Umyt’insky type and Bystrinsky culture. Based on this, it is suggested to combine the settlements of these types into one cultural-chronological horizon of the taiga Neolithic of the north of Western Siberia.
