The paper addresses the stratigraphic distribution of ceramic assemblages in the sediments of ditch A – the earliest construction feature at Chicha-1. Materials from two excavation areas (8 and 16) are examined. Several types of pottery associated with various ceramic traditions are identifi ed. Migration routes into the Baraba forest-steppe zone during the Bronze Age to Iron Age transition and stages of human occupation at Chicha-1 are reconstructed.
