Newly available radiocarbon dates show the early signs of pottery-making in the North Caspian area, the Middle-Lower Volga,and the Lower Don at 8-7 kyr cal BC. Stable settlements, as indicated by "coeval subsamples," are recognized in the Middle-Lower Volga (Yelshanian) at 6.8 kyr cal BC and the Caspian Lowland at about 6 kyr cal BC. The ages of the Strumel-Gostyatin. Surskian, and Bug-Dniesterian sites tire in the range of 6.6-4.5 kyr BC, overlapping with early farming entities (Starcevo-Koros-Cris and Linear Pottery), whose influence is perceptible in archaeological materials. Likewise, the C-14-dated pollen data show that the spread of early pottery-making, coincided with increased precipitation throughout the forest-steppe area.
