A small number of settlements are known in the Vologda, Leningrad and Arkhangelsk regions. Säräisniemi I ceramic monuments are known in northern Karelia, northern Finland, northern Norway (Pasvik river and Varanger fjord area) and Kola peninsula. In Karelia, Finland and northern Norway received similar series of AMS-dates that define the beginning of the early neolithic in the interval 5300–5200 BC. C. On the question of the origin early neolithic cultures in north-eastern Fennoscandia, there is no consensus. Some researchers believe the sperrings culture and säräisniemi I emerged on the basis of the local mesolithic cultures, while others associate them with the emergence of new groups of the population. In the author’s opinion, most closely in the form of vessels, painting of the vessels with ochre, the elements of the ornament, and the ornamental compositions is the pottery of the second phase of the upper Volga early neolithic culture, which could influence the appearance of pottery in the basin of lake Onega, including through the penetration (infiltration) of certain groups of the population.
