A typologically uniform ceramics is represented by vessels ornamented with impressions of a comb stamp. Two radiocarbon dates were obtained for the fragments of charcoal that made up the burnt structure (?) of the dwelling – 4130 ± 90 (Le-6204) and 4770 ± 300 BP (Le-6205), of which the first is the most reliable. The dwelling № 1 of the settlement Lasta VIII is one-time assemblage.
