The article discusses a collection of ceramic ware obtained during excavations in the mound of the Tesinskaya period within the city limits of Krasnoyarsk in 2021–22. Based on existing classifications and pottery analysis, 76 vessels from the filling of a crypt with a collective burial were characterized. The research showed that the basis of the collection are vessels characteristic of the Tagar-Tashtyk period and having analogies in the materials from the burial mounds of the Achinsk-Mariinsk forest-steppe and the Minusinsk Basin. At the same time, the sample includes shapes and ornaments typical of the pastoralists’ pottery from Tuva, Altai and Transbaikalia, which, based on a combination of factors, makes it possible to attribute the published ware to the pottery tradition of the Tesinskaya culture of the late 1st millennium BC.
