The article is devoted to the ceramic complex from the inner moat of the Pastyrske hill-fort (plot, investigated in 2017). At the site fragments are at least 20 ceramic vessels — 16 hand-made vessels and 4 whell-made vessels. Chronological indicators found on the object allow to determine the chronological date of creation of the complex within the middle of the 7th — the middle of the 8th century.
The nature of the layer in which the ceramics was found indicates that the ditch was purposefully filled in a short time after the fire on the territory of the settlement. This ceramic crockery is most likely to come from structures located on the territory of the «citadel» of the settlement and were destroyed during a fire.
