Аннотация:This article publishes new archaeological finds from the ancient period of the Alexandrova Gora hillfort, and determines the placing of these items within the system of the Lake Pleshcheyevo region. The ceramic items seem homogeneous with an admixture of clay, with ornamentation from pits and a comb stamp, with ornamention within their lower sections. Flint objects were also found. The ceramics have analogies both in sites from the end of the Bronze Age, and the beginning of the early Iron Age along the Upper Volga. On the basis of available evidence, this ancient period, probably from before the appearance of the first hillfort, dates back to the 12th - 8th centuries BC. The materials discovered should be correlated with antiquities of the “transitional stage” of the end of the Bronze Age, prior to the time of the appearance of the fortifications. During this period and for unknown reasons, the population of a large territory of the Volga-Oka interfluve area, begins to occupy higher locations for their settlements.
