Economy

Dnepr-Donets culture I

The Dnepr-Donets-I culture was a hunter-gatherer culture with ceramics. Anthony carefully dates them between 5800 and 5200 BC. BC and at the same time as the Bug-Dniester culture .

Dnepr-Donets culture II

The range from 5200-5000 to 4400-4200 (confidence intervals of the radiocarbon dating) v. The subsequent Dnepr-Donets-II culture was a Neolithic culture of the Eastern European Copper Age , called the Eneolithic there.

Burials

Burials were made in grave pits where the buried were sprinkled with ocher. In addition to individual graves, larger graves with burials placed one after the other were common. The habitus is described as typical of people of European descent.

Ceramics

The early use of typical pointed-bottom transport ceramics resembles the behavior of other Mesolithic cultures in the periphery of Neolithic cultures. Other examples of this can be found in the Swifterbant culture in the Netherlands, Ellerbek, the Ertebølle culture in northern Germany and Scandinavia, the ceramics of the “ceramic mesolithic” of Belgium and northern France (including non-linear ceramics such as that from La Hoguette, Bliquy , Villeneuve-Saint-Germain) and in the Roucedour culture in south-west France.
