Title: К вопросу о взаимодействии неолитического населения степной и лесостепной зоны в Поволжье
Abstract: This article examines the interaction of Neolithic cultures of steppe and forest-steppe of the Volga, the main reason of which was climate change. The influence of the southern on the northern cultures was unidirectional. Intensive climate aridization at the turn of the seventh and the sixth millennia B.C. resulted in nomadic tribes migration from Asia Minor. Therefore, Yelshan culture was formed in the Samara river basin. For a long period of time the population of the steppe and forest-steppe areas lived autonomously. By the middle of the sixth millennium B.C. mid-Volga culture was formed on the basis of Yelshan antiquities without any significant influence from outside. As a result of the climate aridization in the last quarter of the sixth millennium B.C. there was a northward shift of the people who owned Tenteksor artefacts. Some of them come into intensive contacts with the population of mid-Volga culture and that makes the ceramic traditions of the local population change.
