The paper presents the results of the petrographic analysis of stone jewelry from the Upper and Middle Kama region, Russia. We analyzed materials from the sites of the Chashkinskoye Ozero 2 encampment, the Bor 1 settlement, and the Zaboinaya 2 encampment. As a result, it was concluded that during the Chalcolithic in this territory, serpentinite (serpentine slate, serpentine) was used as the main raw material for the creation of non-utilitarian objects. The occurrence of this rock was recorded in the Saranovsky Massif located in the Gornozavodsky district of Perm Krai. The study of the finds from the Upper and Middle Kama region shows visual differences of the objects. The finds from the Chashkinskoye Ozero 2 site are characterized by low hardness and fragility of the rock. Specimens from the Bor 1 and Zaboinaya 2 sites are harder and more tenacious.

摘要

The paper presents the results of the petrographic analysis of stone jewelry from the Upper and Middle Kama region, Russia. We analyzed materials from the sites of the Chashkinskoye Ozero 2 encampment, the Bor 1 settlement, and the Zaboinaya 2 encampment. As a result, it was concluded that during the Chalcolithic in this territory, serpentinite (serpentine slate, serpentine) was used as the main raw material for the creation of non-utilitarian objects. The occurrence of this rock was recorded in the Saranovsky Massif located in the Gornozavodsky district of Perm Krai. The study of the finds from the Upper and Middle Kama region shows visual differences of the objects. The finds from the Chashkinskoye Ozero 2 site are characterized by low hardness and fragility of the rock. Specimens from the Bor 1 and Zaboinaya 2 sites are harder and more tenacious.
