The article presents the first results of the study of vessels found in the monuments of the Bronze and Early Iron Ages of Kazakhstan by removing silicone casts from the surface of ceramics. The method consists in finding and identifying traces of seeds, insects and other three-dimensional objects on the surface of ceramic products. The study of ceramic prints allows: 1. identify which types of plants were used in the past; 2. establish which tools were used to make pottery; 3. discover organic materials used by ancient societies, etc. In total, 103 fragments of vessels were analyzed from the Saba burial ground (Kostanay region), where vessels of the Bronze and Early Iron Ages were found, as well as from the Early Iron Age burial ground of Tortoba (Aktobe region). As a result of the study, it was possible to successfully identify common millet at the Early Iron Age burial ground of Tortoba using the method of silicone replicas in ceramics. The discovered samples of millet of the Early Iron Age from Western Kazakhstan are the first example of millet fixation in the form of an imprint in the walls of ceramic vessels. This work is the first experimental study of ceramic prints of the Early Iron Age of Western Kazakhstan. The result not only sheds new light on the use of millet in this era, but also highlights the success of the application of this technique in this geographical area. ; В статье изложены первые результаты изучения сосудов, найденных в памятниках бронзового и раннего железного веков Казахстана, методом снятия силиконовых слепков с поверхности керамики. Метод заключается в поиске и идентификации следов семян, насекомых и других трехмерных объектов на поверхности керамических изделий. Изучение керамических отпечатков позволяет: 1. выявить, какие виды растений использовались в прошлом; 2. установить, какие инструменты использовались для изготовления гончарных изделий; 3. обнаружить органические материалы, использовавшиеся древними обществами и т. д. Анализу были подвергнуты 103 фр. сосудов из могильника ...
