A reconstructed drawing of a vessel from Kamyanka on the Dnieper. A band of repeated marks runs around its rim.

Boris Rybakov compared its three decorated sections with those on other vessels and proposed a rough association with summer agricultural festivals. But he explicitly warned that the Kamyanka vessel was not a calendar: most of its signs were unclear, and at most they suggested the agrarian part of the year.
