Abstract: The article presents the method and results of an investigation of 885 ceramic sherds from Chornolis hillfort, Tyasmyn hillfort, and Kalantaiv hillfort of the Chornolis culture in the middle Dnieper region. Although highly fragmented ceramic sherds are the most frequent type of archaeological material at these sites, this is the first time their morphology and decoration have been statistically analysed. The discovered correlations among pottery parameters helped us to establish a framework for comparison of the hillforts. These findings clarified the microchronology of the sites and cultural relationships of the Chornolis culture.
