The Role of the Central Scientific Institutions in the Development of Kuban Archaeology after 1917
The article considers the initial stage of formation of the Kuban archaeology after the October revolution, highlights the most significant works of the Kuban pioneers of archaeology who discovered and fi rst explored many of the now well-known monuments of archeology of Kuban. Examines the role of Moscow and Leningrad scientifi c institutions and expeditions, the infl uence of scientifi c schools and individual scientists and archaeologists to the educational level of archaeological research of the Kuban.
A.A. Miller and B.S. Zhukov organized the Kuban and Taman Peninsula archaeological expeditions, which became the school for many archaeologists. These expeditions were to explore techniques for local scientists. Local scientists
participated in the expeditions of A.A. Miller, B.S. Zhukov, etc., and thereby adopt advanced for its time, a technique of field works.
The first researchers of the archaeological monuments of the Kuban were уmployees of local museums and University professors: N.A. Zakharov, M.V. Pokrovskiy, A.F. Leshchenko, the Efforts of local archaeologists and ethnographers
begin systematic studies of villages and settlements of the Kuban area. These previously uninvestigated types of archaeological monuments have been studied in line with the new methodology, typical for paleoethnological school.
Special attention has been paid to the study of mass archaeological material, particularly ceramics. In 1920-ies there is a very strong interaction with local scientists with their colleagues from headquarters. Collaboration between scientists was manifested in the participation in the expeditions, as well as in joint participation in archaeological conferences. Many prominent scientists of the time, not only of the Central scientific institutions, and local scientists, to promote advanced methods, were subjected to repressions in 1930-ies. In the future, archaeology in the USSR embarked on a Marxist footing.
