E.A. Kashina and N.M. Chairkina.
Decorated birch-bark artifacts, housed at the State Historical Museum, Moscow, are a unique category of fi nds from Section VI of the Gorbunovsky Peat-Bog. They have no parallels among other peat-bog assemblages of the North Eurasian forest belt. This study addresses the morphology and technology of these artifacts, their archaeological context, and similarities with the Early Bronze Age pottery.
