The authors raise the problem that appears from the difference in the content of the concepts “historical and cultural monument”, “antiques” and “archaeological object”, which ultimately leads to the connivance of such illegal activities as the looting of archaeological sites. Activities related to trade, exchange, donation of archaeological objects are often perceived as quite legitimate. Thus, the civil turnover of archaeological objects is one of the main factors stimulating criminal “black digging” that destroys historical and cultural monuments. According to Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 73 of 25.06.2002, all archaeological objects are subject to mandatory transfer to the state in accordance with the procedure established by the federal body for the protection of cultural heritage objects, i.e. any actions on civil turnover of archaeological objects are subject to mandatory encumbrance.

Today, the archaeological heritage is an integral element of the objective side of the composition of the crime provided for in Art. 298 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. At the same time, the effectiveness of the mentioned article, in our opinion, raises certain doubts. First of all, this is due to the fact that encroachments, the subject of which is the archaeological heritage, have a high level of latency. In addition, when applying Part 1 of Art. 298 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, in the vast majority of cases, there is a problem of proving that illegal archaeological explorations, excavations, other earthworks or underwater works were carried out precisely on the site of archaeological heritage. This paper is devoted to the study of archaeological heritage as a subject of criminal encroachment and clarification of the terminological apparatus used in defining the specified element. During the research, all existing archaeological heritage sites in Ukraine were divided into three groups: 1) known archaeological heritage sites; 2) intended objects of archaeological heritage; 3) unknown objects of archaeological heritage. The given gradation gives rise to certain peculiarities regarding the status of archaeological heritage objects and the adaptation of measures aimed at their protection. Yes, criminal protection under Art. 298 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine applies only to objects of archaeological heritage of the first group. Legal protection is provided to known objects of archaeological heritage that have just been discovered or those that exist as monuments of national or local importance, that is, objects that have been granted the legal status of «object of archaeological heritage» by the state. In any other case, it is impossible to prosecute the guilty persons for the illegal conduct of archaeological explorations, excavations, other earthworks or underwater works on the object of archaeological heritage, which belongs to the second or third group. They do not have the corresponding legal status of «site of archaeological heritage», despite the fact that they are such in essence. It became necessary to introduce changes to the current legislation for the purpose of preventive protection not only of objects of archaeological heritage with a clearly defined legal status, but also of those that do not have it.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes illegal activities aimed at predatory excavations of archaeological monuments, known as "black digging", and also raises the problem of civil turnover of archaeological objects as a factor stimulating such criminal activity. The authors raise the problem of a vague understanding of the legal status of such concepts as "historical and cultural monument", "antiques" and "archaeological object" both among members of the public and in the legal community. Since the civil turnover of historical and cultural monuments is allowed with some restrictions, lawyers consider the purchase and sale of archaeological artefacts to be quite legal. However, the law imposes restrictions on the civil turnover of archaeological heritage objects, still there has not yet been a single precedent of bringing to justice dealers in archaeological objects. To combat the illegal storage and trafficking of archaeological objects, lawyers need to analyze the legal basis and eliminate the existing legal conflict, which allows persons engaged in illegal activities to avoid responsibility for such offences.

AbstractObject-based, experiential learning/evidence-based inquiry engages young minds and models how research is conducted. It is clear that this kind of authentic experience stays with students long afterward. Our research investigated 74 fifth-grade public school students’ conceptions of evidence, of the provisional nature of archaeological and historical interpretations, and of the purposes for using archaeology to study the past. Three and four years later, we conducted follow-up interviews with 29 of the students to investigate what they remembered about their archaeological experience, including classroom instruction, excavation/labwork, and concepts related to archaeological processes and historical information. Our study shows that in-depth archaeological study has considerable sticking power. It also provides important insights into how students think about archaeology, history, and the past, and how they relate “things” to the past and to past cultures. In particular, it shows that the materiality of archaeology offers students opportunities to create multiple, evidence-based interpretations when they are taught to understand culture in material ways. Our study also offers concrete suggestions for anyone considering using objects to teach about the past: use an inquiry-based approach, take students’ prior knowledge into account, use metaphors carefully with younger children, and make the human-object connection explicit for all.

AbstractCare of archaeological materials should begin when recovered in the field. Care and stabilization of objects in the field will greatly increase their research and exhibit potential. Identifying problems and understanding basic solutions to object care and stabilization is an important part of training for all potential object handlers. Proper care and stabilization of objects can and should be a priority for all object users—excavators, lab analysts, museum staff, and researchers. Constant dialogue and communication between repository specialists and archaeologists can be the most useful source for care of all archaeological objects.

The study of geo-ecological factors allows not only to determine the nature of human economic activities but also reveals natural influences affecting the placement of archaeological objects in the past. Special attention is given to «Stone piles» («Lappish cairns») — stone piles widely found within the studied territory. Despite years of archaeological research, the nature of these structures remains enigmatic, though archaeological artifacts are often absent. The application of geo-chemical research methods enables the assessment of ancient human impact on the surrounding environment and also provides insights into their activities and motivations for selecting specific locations. Analysis of geo-chemical indicators such as SiO2, Al2O3, MgO, CaO, Fe2O3 helps reveal distinct microrelief features. The examination of anthropogenic activity-related geo-chemical modules within the archaeological site, such as P2O5(anthrop), CaO(anthrop), K2O(anthrop), Rb(anthrop), facilitates the reconstruction of functional zones within the site and identifies the type of economic activities conducted there. This study has for the first time identified geo-ecological factors influencing various types of archaeological sites, including settlements, burial grounds, and ritual objects. Through the analysis of geo-chemical, archaeological, and landscape parameters, it was possible to establish the influence of these factors on the distribution of such objects in the past.

Abstract:It has been more than 20 years since the raids on the premises at the Geneva Freeport were linked to Giacomo Medici. The seizure of photographic records led to a major investigation of acquisitions by museums and private collectors. This was expanded following the confiscation of archives from Robin Symes and Gianfranco Becchina. Over 350 items have been returned to Italy from North American public and private collections as well as auction houses and galleries. This article reviews the returns and identifies some of the major themes. It also notes some of the unresolved cases both in North America and in Europe and Japan.

Full textAbstract:
To date, extensive judicial practice in cases of administrative offenses qualified under Article 7.15.1 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation cannot be called unambiguous. It has exposed a number of fundamental problems that need to be resolved. 1. The problem of identification by a specialist or expert of things seized from a person suspected of making a transaction with archaeological objects. The relevance of this problem arises from the uncertainty of the definition of "archaeological objects", as well as the absence of any universal methodology for classifying movable things as archaeological objects. The expert's opinion on the belonging of a thing to the number of archaeological objects, regardless of the circumstances of acquisition, is based on its age. The presence of oxides and impurities on the object is interpreted as proof of its origin from the cultural layer. However, such an approach to the identification of antique items removed from the cultural layer or from the person against whom the proceedings on an administrative offense are being conducted is far from indisputable. 2. Turnover of archaeological objects. In the descriptive and motivational part of judicial acts, archaeological objects are often defined as having the status of things withdrawn from circulation. At the same time, the presumption of State ownership applies to archaeological objects lying on the surface of the earth, in the ground or under water. Based on a systematic analysis of the norms regulating relations regarding the turnover of archaeological objects, it can be concluded that the federal legislator, in strictly stipulated cases, allowed the possibility of civil turnover of a certain part of the movable archaeological heritage. In this regard, archaeological objects should be classified as objects of civil rights, limited in circulation. 3. The objective side of the administrative offense. The basis for initiating a case of an administrative offense under Article 7.15.1 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation should be the fact of a transaction with an archaeological object. Otherwise, the proceedings initiated in the case are subject to termination due to the absence of an event of an administrative offense or the composition of an administrative offense. At the same time, judicial practice abounds with examples of judicial decisions in the absence of the fact of the transaction. 4. Recognition of the right of ownership of individuals and legal entities to movable antiquities by virtue of the statute of limitations. With regard to things in private possession, created in the recent past (XIX – XX centuries), as well as numismatic and other collections whose belonging to archaeology, taking into account the information feature, is very doubtful, the right of private ownership should be recognized due to the acquisition prescription.

The paper proposes examples of archaeological objects fixing using Geoinformation system (GIS) as an effective computer-supported system used for a digital visualization and analysis of geographic features and events happening on them. The main preference of using these methods is disclosed due to elaborations of specialists worked in Architectural-archaeological expedition of Archaeology Institute of NASU for several years. There is an experience gained in field and urban space.
According to this thesis main preferences that is noticed by authors are: 1) an accuracy of fixing in a difficult conditions; 2) multipurpose and flexibility of coordinate system; 3) a unique format of different file types; 4) an opportunity of object reconstruction based on earlier drawing; 5) creation a topography ground (basic plan) for future excavations; 6) combining in one GIS model different types of information that is appropriate to an archaeological object; 7) join the attribute tables of database related to archaeological objects fixed during the excavation in GIS formats.
An effective algorithm of object fixing is proposed by using the most basic methods of GIS.

One of the limitations of satellite techniques in archaeological investigations is the land cover. Heritage objects may be more or less visible depending on the land cover type. Low vegetation, such as grass or small shrubs, will usually allow us to determine the location of archaeological objects if the difference in height between the object and vegetation is not significant enough. Forest or high vegetation cover makes it more challenging to determine the location of potentially artificial structures. This project's study area covered 50×70 km of the lower reaches of the Vistula River, Poland. The authors searched for anthropogenic objects close to watercourses and analysed nine different (point, line and surface type) objects having a defensive, sepulchral or settlement function. Circular objects, ditches and earth embankments, burial mounds and strongholds of regular forms were found during this research. Based on nine different models processed with LiDAR-based DEMs, several characteristics and relationships of various types of objects were demonstrated. Moreover, optimal models for searching for archaeological objects in forest areas were defined.

Full textAbstract:
Machine Learning-based workflows are being progressively used for the automatic detection of archaeological objects (intended as below-surface sites) in remote sensing data. Despite promising results in the detection phase, there is still a lack of a standard set of measures to evaluate the performance of object detection methods, since buried archaeological sites often have distinctive shapes that set them aside from other types of objects included in mainstream remote sensing datasets (e.g., Dataset of Object deTection in Aerial images, DOTA). Additionally, archaeological research relies heavily on geospatial information when validating the output of an object detection procedure, a type of information that is not normally considered in regular machine learning validation pipelines. This paper tackles these shortcomings by introducing two novel automatic evaluation measures, namely ‘centroid-based’ and ‘pixel-based’, designed to encode the salient aspects of the archaeologists’ thinking process. To test their usability, an experiment with different object detection deep neural networks was conducted on a LiDAR dataset. The experimental results show that these two automatic measures closely resemble the semi-automatic one currently used by archaeologists and therefore can be adopted as fully automatic evaluation measures in archaeological remote sensing detection. Adoption will facilitate cross-study comparisons and close collaboration between machine learning and archaeological researchers, which in turn will encourage the development of novel human-centred archaeological object detection tools.

Full textAbstract:
Well before the turn of the century, it had become clear that archaeology's aspiration to study the past was, true to the modern project, a pretext for a deeper desire to fabricate its objects. Material culture, materiality, the material past, material residues, heritage—the objects of interpretive (post-processual) archaeology could only be characterized as a continuation of this modern project. While finding symmetry was tied to an upheaval from this mode of disciplinary production, it may now be characterized as one cue among others in more agile archaeological theory. After briefly contrasting archaeological thought before and after the turn of the century, this article sketches out some of the core features of an object-oriented approach to things, including symmetry, irreduction, emergent causality, and strangeness, among others. It then outlines how, by finding our way alongside things, we might aspire to ever more creative work with archaeological objects and their pasts. Finally, it closes with a few words on Posthumanism.

Despite great variability in archaeological and ethnographic material culture across North America, a handful of objects are ubiquitous in assemblages of different ages and geographies. These index objects are clues to ontological principles, such as animacy, that guide the interactions between Native Americans and the material world. The impact of relational ontologies on the formation of heterogeneous archaeological assemblages may be evaluated through analyses of index objects and contextual associations. To this effect, this article presents the outline of an assemblage-based relational taxonomy, where spatial, temporal, and formal dimensions are combined with object biographies, interactive roles, and social relations.

As a result of the Russian aggression, which began in 2014, hundreds, if not thousands, of cultural heritage sites were destroyed or damaged to one degree or another. Against this background, the objects of archaeological heritage, which include settlements, hillforts, barrows, burial mounds (kurgans), etc., stand out. Work on collecting information on damaged archaeological sites began back in 2014. In 2016, after a monitoring mission to study the state of archaeological heritage in the war zone within the territory of Luhansk region, information began to be collected somewhat more actively. Starting from February 2022, when even more Ukrainian territory was subjected to military action, even more archaeological heritage sites were damaged or completely destroyed. Identification and analysis of cases related to the destructive impact of the war on the archaeological heritage is the main task for the near future. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop methodological recommendations. The publication proposes the allocation of three conditional groups of locations of archaeological heritage objects: group A - objects in the zone of cessation of hostilities or in the zone of active hostilities in the unoccupied territory (controlled by Ukraine); group B - objects in the zone close to the front line, military operations were not carried out, but archaeological objects were damaged by the military (territory controlled by Ukraine); group C - objects in the zone where hostilities are no longer taking place, or in the zone of active military operations in the occupied territory. Given the existing information, a preliminary typology of the nature of damage to archaeological heritage objects was developed, which includes 6 items: 1. mounds with partially destroyed embankments as a result of shelling (presence of ruptures from explosions); 2. mounds damaged as a result of the arrangement of protective structures/support and observation point or firing points with the help of machinery or hand tools; 3. settlements, hillforts, and ground necropolis, on the day surface of which there are ruptures from explosions (the integrity of the object is damaged); 4. settlements, hillforts, and ground necropolis that were damaged or destroyed as a result of the construction of protective structures; 5. mined areas; 6. areas with objects of archaeological heritage allocated for large-scale construction of military infrastructure (Crimean Peninsula). The construction of civil infrastructure in the occupied territories is a topic for a separate study. In all cases, the degree of damage is indicated separately. The possibility of supplementing or correcting the data is not excluded, since the research process is at the stage of development. It also offers 4 ways of obtaining information about the facts of the destruction of archaeological heritage sites, including private messages, monitoring of social networks and specialized forums, visual monitoring, and research of satellite images. Key words: archaeological heritage, war, Ukraine, methodology.

Full textAbstract:
Of all the complex problems of museum storage of archaeological objects, iron objects represent one of the most difficult. In the process of corrosion, an iron object passes through several stages, from oxidation of the metal surface to full mineralization. The greatest problem consists of the items in the stages of oxidation, when the metal is almost completely corroded and converted into minerals. Mineral peels exfoliate under the influence of active corrosion, leading to a loss of historical significance of the object. In the world’s practice of archaeological iron conservation, there are several different ways of stabilization, but none of them can guarantee the integrity of the iron artifact during its museum storage. To date, the most effective conservation method of stabilizing archaeological iron is alkaline sulfite treatment. However, this method has a number of drawbacks, the main of which is the duration of the stabilizing treatment. The authors consider the possibility of increasing the efficiency of the method of processing archaeological iron objects in an alkaline sulfite solution by means of ultrasonic solution activation. In the course of the experimental study, it has been established that the use of ultrasonic in alkaline sulfite treatment hugely increases the efficiency of the method.

Full textAbstract:
Ethnographic and ethnohistoric accounts of the Andes are rich with descriptions of animated landscapes, substances and objects. It is widely held that these beliefs have deep roots in the pre-Columbian past, and archaeological literature on the Andes routinely draws upon these sources describing the religious importance of mountains, water, plants and animals. While this generalized sense of animism in prehistory is accepted, locating animism archaeologically presents more of a challenge, and like investigations into religion and ritual more broadly, often focuses on special object categories. Spectacular items of fine-quality, exotic materials, or restricted circulation are singled out as ‘special’ by archaeologists, while objects such as plain pots or tools are interpreted as mundanely functional. Further, animistic interpretations that lean heavily on ethnographic analogy run the risk of simply identifying traits in the past which match up with accounts from more recent times. Using materials from the Wari site of Conchopata in the central Andes of Peru, I take up the idea of animism as a ‘relational epistemology’ (Bird-David 1999). This view repositions animism as something that arises out of an ongoing engagement between humans and the world they inhabit rather than as a set of beliefs. This move begins to dissolve the categories of sacred and profane that are embedded in historical studies of religion. Recent shifts in archaeological approaches to ritual provide methodological frameworks for exploring how mundane objects may be transformed into sacred and further allow us to interrogate changes in practice and highlight variation in how animism was deployed in specific locales concurrent with larger social changes.

The article is devoted to a summary of the results of the study of the Katandinsky valley in 2021 (the Republic of Altai). Anthropogenic impact has destroyed and continues to destroy archaeological sites in the specified territory. Fixing what has been preserved to date is the primary task of its archaeological study. The article presents a map of the archaeological sites of the valley, compiled by coordinating archaeological sites using the GARMIN 62 stc navigator in the WGS-84 coordinate system. A brief description of the discovered objects is given: two types of burial complexes of the Afanasievo culture are distinguished, Pazyryk mounds in the Katanda 1 burialfield, Turkic fences and mounds of the early Middle Ages are marked. The results of a geophysical study of one of the mounds in the Katanda 2 burial field are presented. According to the results of the magnetic survey, it is concluded that the object most likely belongs to the Afanasievo culture. Thus, it is established that using geophysical studies, it is possible to determine the cultural affiliation of funerary monuments, in cases where it is not obvious. We are talking about the numerous completely blackened mounds of the Katandinsky valley. The article presents drawings of objects found on the plowed territory of monuments. Among them there are bronze buckles of the Scythian period, as well as objects that can be attributed to the Turkic era. Of particular note is a bronze plaque in the form of a curled panther, a pendant representing a schematic representation of a human figure and a cast-iron blade from a plow, made in China. A random set of discovered objects reflects the history of the development of the valley.

Abstract Large underwater construction projects generate hundreds of potential cultural heritage objects requiring archaeological assessment and – potentially – mitigation. Some can easily be avoided in planning, whereas others cannot. Singular objects tend to present a dilemma in heritage management: their archaeological significance tends to lie in their association to an – at the time of finding – unknown context rather than in the object itself. Though these objects may be protected by heritage legislation, they are often undesired in museum collections, and even if destined for disposal, they can only be salvaged and documented at significant cost. Their cultural heritage ‘value’ is often, though mostly tacitly, considered low or at least undecided. We argue that in-situ preservation by record can be a viable solution for such objects, provided that appropriate documentation methods are employed. Fortunately, these objects are often targeted by other types of pre-construction surveys and inspections, usually conducted using remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), making hours of third-party video footage available to the archaeologist. This article examines if existing third-party video inspection data can be used towards acceptable archaeological recording without compromising the cost-efficiency so crucial to the industry. Hence, the focus of this article is the typical industry-standard inspection-, work class-, or even low-end hobby-ROV (from where the jump to legacy data or, indeed, crowdsourcing is obvious), suggesting a few simple amendments to data acquisition specifications which may potentially save the cost of a dedicated archaeological inspection campaign.

The article reflects the theoretical foundations of the research on the tourism potential of the Mykolaiv region of Ukraine. It has been established that this issue is not sufficiently disclosed in foreign and domestic literature. Eight main types of preserved objects of the studied region are identified. The existing objects of the historical and cultural heritage of the Mykolaiv region within districts (in particular, archaeological, historical, architectural, natural, and sacred) are characterized, and a map of their locations is developed. The density of tourism objects in the administrative districts of the region is calculated. It has been established that the highest density of all types of tourism objects is in the Mykolaiv district. Historical, sacred, and natural objects prevail in the Pervomaisk district, archaeological, natural and Cossack heritage – in the Voznesensk district, natural, architectural and archaeological objects – in Bashtanka district. Tourist routes are developed by objects of the archaeological and Cossack heritage of the region, and a corresponding map is created. It was revealed that the Mykolaiv region has a number of strengths in the development of tourism potential: rich archaeological heritage (in particular, «Olbia» and other ancient settlements, hillforts and sites, island – an archaeological monument Berezan); preserved Cossack necropolises; large heritage of ethnic minorities (German, Polish, Jewish, Czech, Turkish and Karaites); monuments of shipbuilding and fleet, lighthouses; the largest zoo in Ukraine; rich natural potential, in particular, canyons (Aktovskyi, Arbuzynskyi, Mygiya rapids); museums (missile forces, shipbuilding and fleet); etc. However, there are some problems (abandoned state of cultural heritage objects, lack of popularization, illegal archaeological excavations, etc.) and threats (war) to the development of tourism potential of the Mykolaiv region.

Assaf Nativ has written a bold and challenging paper and one which prompts a great deal of reflection. Although highly theoretical, it is also a paper that engages quite directly with the concerns of our discipline and is a good example of what one might dub philosophical (or meta-)archaeology rather than philosophy applied to archaeology. Moreover, Nativ has a very clear style of exposition that gives the reader a great deal to sink his or her teeth into. Which is precisely what I want to do now. And if what follows seems excessively critical or negative, I hope it will also be taken as a sign of my respect for his taking on a topic fraught with difficulties and a conviction that my commentary should try and match up to his own carefully argued text.

Archaeology turns round its objects as much as it turns them out. This is partially an artefact of its reflection, which is not always linear; it is sometimes cyclic. The cyclic is not a perfect circle. Our objects open themselves in new ways to archaeological engagement, but this new relevance surfaces through creative inspiration triangulated off previous orientations. In revolving around our objects, inevitably we return to a familiar place, even though it is where we have never been (González-Ruibal 2014). The linear orientation, by contrast, is progressive. It fashions its every step anew. Thus its movement is supersessive – it pushes forward by violently casting overboard what is considered to be of less value (often on misconstrued grounds) and assuming its position. Whereas the former oscillates with various degrees of awareness, the latter strikes out with inevitable levels of amnesia. To attain a genuinely novel position one must struggle against forgetting former orientations, for to eliminate is to run the risk of repetition – blind to whether or not one ever truly invents – and even redundancy – with multiple copies the impact of our work is diminished. Still, if true improvement constitutes progress, then archaeology, when properly executed, moves in spirals, and our objects move with us.

The introduction of Object-Oriented philosophies has resulted in the development of two main atti- tudes to the study of the past. Some scholars have suggested the development of archaeologies that fo- cus on the fragmentary nature of the archaeological record – inviting a more descriptive approach to doing archaeology – whereas others have used simi- lar frameworks to revitalize the study of social pro- cesses. Both tendencies lean towards archaeologies that embrace ontological enquiry, moving away from questions of human access. In a reflection re- garding things, archives and social processes, this article strives for enquiries which favour theoretical examination that encompasses the study of reality as well as the study of the ways in which archaeolo- gists gain knowledge about the past.

The economic assessment of damage to movable and immovable objects considered part of archaeological heritage is a matter of increasing interest, both at the legal level and in terms of government management. The primary reason for this interest is the urgent need to agree on a sound and reliable approach to economically quantifying not so much the cultural value of the damage caused as the civil liability for having caused it in those cases in which it was produced by a harmful human act. Assessment methods require a broad consensus to be considered reliable. The lack of consideration given to this matter has only made the absence of such a consensus more acute. This paper offers a mainly Spanish case-based analysis of the most common valuation methods for both movable and immovable archaeological objects. With regard to movable objects, it examines the problems involved in both the exclusive use of an object’s market price as its cultural value and the lack of justification for the chosen valuation system, concluding that current methods are insufficient. This insufficiency, also perceived by the authors of the expert reports used in the analyzed proceedings, has been dealt with arbitrarily. With regard to immovable object, it concludes that the systems currently used to assess the damage to sites are likewise insufficient, despite having been legally acknowledged in some cases. This paper will thus examine the methods used in environmental assessments—whose parallels with archaeological heritage are clear—and proposes that they be adapted for this purpose.

One of the means to preserve and study cultural heritage objects is aerial photography by unmanned aircrafts combined with a complex of photogrammetric techniques. The article provides data on 3D-modeling of the territories of various archaeological heritage objects located in the Ural and Siberian federal districts of the Russian Federation. The main goals of photogrammetry are visualization of the state of areas with such objects, analysis of relief elements of the modern surface, and documentation of archaeological excavations. The article concisely describes the chaine operatoire — operational and production chains of actions during archaeological field work — inspection and excavation and briefly describes the scientific results of photogrammetric work at the surveyed archaeological sites. In addition, the main disadvantages of the photogrammetry technique when using images taken by unmanned aircraft caused by the imperfections of the software and at times the unsatisfactory results of aerial photography are presented. With the help of three-dimensional modeling, we can create a visual 3D image of the territory of an archaeological site. Photogrammetry data were used in practice, both during field work (monitoring the technical condition of archaeological objects, determining the spatial characteristics of relief elements on the site), and in the process of writing various scientific reports (correcting elements of the topographic plan, planning measures to ensure the preservation of archaeological heritage objects; keeping records of a dig site and its sections, stratigraphic and planigraphic profiles, constructions, structures, etc.). The development of 3D-modeling technologies contributes to obtaining more precise information about the objects under study; currently it is one of the most reliable and simple ways to visualize cultural heritage objects.

There are almost all types of archaeological monuments (settlements, burial grounds, pictograms, ancient production sites) on the territory of the municipal formation of the city of Ekaterinburg, most of them are represented by settlements located along the banks of watercourses and lakes. The dating of the sites covers a wide range from the Mesolithic to the Late Iron Age. At the same time, no more than 10 % of the sites have been explored. The number of archaeological sites in the Ekaterinburg municipality as of 2023 totals 124 objects (according to the State Security authorities). At 66 objects of cultural (archaeological) heritage, the boundaries of the distribution of the cultural layer are defined, and information about them is included in the Unified Register of Objects of Cultural Heritage of Russia. The remaining sites are in the status of identified objects of cultural (archaeological) heritage. They have yet to be added to the register. This article presents a general overview and characteristics of objects of cultural (archaeological) heritage located within the modern boundaries of the municipal formation of the city of Ekaterinburg. It also considers the results of work to determine the boundaries of the spread of the cultural layer on objects of cultural (archaeological) heritage from 2013 to 2022, necessary for entering information about sites in the state cadaster of real estate, methodology and prospects of work in this direction, as well as the need to define the boundaries of all scientifically significant archaeological heritage sites on the territory of Ekaterinburg.

In this article I propose the indiscernible objects experiment of Arthur Danto as analogy to discuss on the nature of the industrial archaeological remains. The interdisciplinary research conducted at the Fundo Vaitea, in Rapa Nui (Eastern Island), is presented as an excellent example for the kind of analysis that I propose here. Conceptually considering archaeological remains of this site as material culture theoretically similar to works of art, I discussed issues concerning the distinction, interpretation and transformation of common objects in archaeological vestiges, proposing to understand these as memory-objects. From this aesthetic dimension I propose another standpoint of the problem associated with the study and heritage policies of the recent past materiality, taking as well into account social practices and the particularities of archaeological time involved in this process.

Abstract. Archaeological data is processed to ensure that it can be easily accessed and used. The integration of the documentation into GIS tools is carried out in the post-excavation phase. The final documents are completed on the basis of intermediate documents made on the excavation site. Time during the excavation is precious and any action that takes time is questioned to allow to devote a maximum of resources to the most important tasks. Many tasks are associated with a traditional paper entry. The aim of this study is to experiment with the use of means of automating the management of archaeological documents in order to minimize the repetition of recording acts of different kind. The integration of computer technology in the field is gradually being achieved through the use of tablets, but their use on the excavation site remains a strong constraint. The first task of this automation lies in the possibility of identifying objects of interest during the excavation. In order to make this recognition of archaeological entities possible it is necessary to ask when they are easily identifiable: in the excavation report. The hypothesis formulated here is that excavation reports can be used as a source for creating learning data sets of neural networks dedicated to the recognition of archaeological objects on site. Two important steps in automating the integration of archaeological data are presented here, the extraction of images and their semantics from excavation reports and the learning process of a neural network for the recognition of archaeological entities at the site of their discovery. The extraction of images and the identification of what they contain allows to enrich neural network learning datasets. Tests have been made to validate the ability of such tools to reliably identify particular objects. We chose CNN to test the ability to recognize archaeological objects in an excavation context. It is an image-based network. What is sought here is the ability to recognize an object for a neural network.

AbstractThe philosophical movement known as speculative realism (SR) has much in common with archaeology. As well as a shared concern with objects and with time, both have orientations towards an external reality that exists (or existed) outside the domain of human knowledge. This paper explores overlaps and commonalities in these two very different types of investigation. Proceeding from an archaeological perspective, it critically assesses the relevance of some of the key ideas of SR for archaeology, while also looking at ways in which these can be challenged, honed, adapted and transformed through encounters with archaeological objects. It asks the question, what can archaeology usefully contribute to the SR project?

Full textAbstract:
Despite the fact that Palaeolithic sites in Ukraine are objects of cultural heritage and protected by law, a large number of them is on the verge of total destruction. Organization of the processes of protection and preservation, as well as monitoring of the state of such sites, is based entirely on state legal acts. The Law of Ukraine On the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage defines the protection of the archaeological heritage as a complex of measures carried out in accordance with the legislation by state authorities, enterprises, institutions, organizations, citizens, aimed at keeping records, protection, preservation, proper maintenance, appropriate use, conservation, restoration, rehabilitation and museisation of archaeological heritage objects, as well as dissemination of knowledge about archaeological heritage. A characteristic feature of the objects of the archaeological heritage is the material embodiment of scientific information, which is largely stored in the place of its formation, regardless of the state of preservation. The basis for the protection of the archaeological heritage is its properties, which impose a ban on any work on this area, except for works related to the scientific research of the archaeological heritage. State regulations in the field of cultural heritage regulate relations connected to the protection of the archaeological heritage of Ukraine – an integral part of the cultural heritage of humankind, a vulnerable and non-renewable source of knowledge about the historical past, as well as determine the rights and responsibilities of archaeological heritage researchers. Scientific research of archaeological heritage is the scientific activity aimed at gaining new knowledge about the objects of archaeological heritage, patterns of development of ancient society and man on the basis of the results of the analysis of archaeological materials and documented information (publications, scientific reports, etc.) of archaeological character. It is extremely important to create the necessary conditions for the state to carry out scientific studies of Palaeolithic sites in order to organize a proper regime for their protection in terms of legislation. Key words: site, archaeological heritage, cultural heritage, protection of Palaeolithic sites, law, legal norms.

Full textAbstract:
The geomorphological, geological, and archaeological objects of the Sian Lowlandhave been studied, and their significance as potentially popular geotourist attractions has been substantiated. The Sian Lowlandis located in the northwestern part of the Ukrainian Carpathian Foreland and is a constituent geomorphological element of the Sian-Dniester interfluve. The lowland’s relief is smooth, characterized by the alternation of ridge-like elevations of the Vyshnia‒Vizhomlia, Vizhomlia‒Shklo, Shklo‒Zavadivkainterstreams and shallow trough-shaped river valleys with gently inclined non-terraced slopes and often waterlogged bottoms. The topography of the Vyshniaand Shklo valleys is varied with dunes concentrated in two strips – one stretches along the right side of the Vyshnia river valley through the villages of Malniv, Martyny, Sokolia, ArlamivskaVolia, Khorosnytsia and Zarichchia, and the other one is developed in the Shklo river valley between Krakivets and Yavoriv. The northeastern part of the Sian Lowland has undergone a significant anthropogenic transformation – the Shklo River channel has been regulated, and a complex of anthropogenic landforms and deposits has been formed within the boundaries of the Yavoriv mining district: karst processes and phenomena have been activated. Less large-scale anthropogenic changes have occurred in the lowland’s southern part, which is proposed to be covered by a geotourist route that will run through Rodatychi ‒ SudovaVyshnia ‒ Zarichchia‒Khorosnytsia ‒ ArlamivskaVolia ‒ Sulkivshchyna. The main geotourist attractions here are the following geological, geomorphological and archaeological objects: the preserved valley of glacial meltwater runoff between Rodatychi and SudovaVyshnaya, which is now drained by the Rakivriver, as well as the dunes spread in the valley and the archeological monument KniazhyiMist; eolian, fluvial landforms and deposits, outcrops of fluvioglacial accumulations and archaeological sites developed in the vicinity of the villages of Zarichchiaand Pisky:a complex of eolian and fluvial landforms and deposits, as well as archaeological sites, developed nearKhorosnytsia village; eolian landforms and deposits, an archaeological site near the village of ArlamivskaVolia; glacial accumulations, which were discovered in a quarry located east of the village of Sulkivshchyna (north of Mostyska). These settlements are connected to each other and to Lviv by the M-11 highway (Lviv‒Mostyska‒Shehyni) and/or the Lviv‒Shehynirailway line, which provides convenient access to the proposed geotourist attractions. The developed geotourist route also makes it possible to unite the so far separate Carpathian, Carpathian Foreland and Roztoczegeotourist routes into a single network. Key words: geotourist attractions; Sian Lowland; eolian deposits; dune; terrace; fluvial landform; archaeological site.

The results of the research of the Mariupol State University Archaeological Expedition in the Northern Azov Sea region in 2021 to make an inventory of known archaeological sites and determine the area use modes of archaeological cultural layer protection are published. The aim was to create favourable conditions for the preservation of the national historical and cultural heritage and increase public responsibility for the state of protection and conservation of archaeological objects. The expedition was conducted in Mariupol and Volnovakha districts of the Donetsk region. The task of the archaeological survey was to carry out research work to determine the location of archaeological heritage monuments (objects) and to inspect these objects, determine their parameters and current technical condition. 48 mound groups and 53 solitary mounds were surveyed. A total of 209 archaeological sites were accounted for during the survey, 34 of which are newly discovered sites. The crisis situation of the most valuable archaeological monuments - kurgans in Ukraine in general and in the Donetsk region in particular has been revealed. It is noted that in addition to natural factors that have traditionally caused the transformation, destruction and eventual disappearance of archaeological sites, a more significant danger to monuments of cultural and historical heritage of Ukraine today are factors of anthropogenic type. A short list of current anthropogenic factors affecting the state of conservation of archaeological objects of the Northern Azov Sea region is given. Emphasis is placed on the real threat to the preservation of the national cultural heritage of Ukraine and its cultural values during military operations. The main problems and ways of their possible solution for the preservation of cultural-historical (archaeological) heritage of Ukraine in the conditions of Russian aggression are formulated.

Laser cleaning tests were performed on five archaeological copper alloy objects using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser at 1064 nm. As a comparison, a section of each object was cleaned mechanically. Prior to cleaning, cross-sections were prepared to characterise the corrosion crust and help to locate the position of the original surface. Laser cleaning was not successful at removing burial deposits on two of the objects. For the other three objects, the laser removed most of the corrosion crust. This was not always satisfactory, as cleaning was sometimes accompanied by the loss of the original surface. In addition, laser-cleaned surfaces were matt compared to mechanically cleaned surfaces. In some instances, the former had a disfiguring purple hue which was attributed to the formation of particles that could be seen when examining the surface using scanning electron microscopy. For all the objects examined here, superior results were obtained by mechanical cleaning.

Although the history of automated archaeological object detection in remotely sensed data is short, progress and emerging trends are evident. Among them, the shift from rule-based approaches towards machine learning methods is, at the moment, the cause for high expectations, even though basic problems, such as the lack of suitable archaeological training data are only beginning to be addressed. In a case study in the central Netherlands, we are currently developing novel methods for multi-class archaeological object detection in LiDAR data based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). This research is embedded in a long-term investigation of the prehistoric landscape of our study region. We here present an innovative integrated workflow that combines machine learning approaches to automated object detection in remotely sensed data with a two-tier citizen science project that allows us to generate and validate detections of hitherto unknown archaeological objects, thereby contributing to the creation of reliable, labeled archaeological training datasets. We motivate our methodological choices in the light of current trends in archaeological prospection, remote sensing, machine learning, and citizen science, and present the first results of the implementation of the workflow in our research area.

Over the centuries, archaeological heritage of Ukraine has been developing under the influence of many factors. Research on such antiquities is a significant task of science for a detailed study of our history, deeper understanding of all stages of the formation, development and promotion of modern culture. Issues arising while protecting archaeological sites are relevant not only for Ukraine but also for many countries of the world. Preservation of history is the important task of every civilised country. Each monument is the source of information, and artefacts of a certain period in their totality represent a holistic cultural layer of history of people who lived in Ukraine no matter whether they were our ancestors or not.
The paper outlines the issues of legal regulation of the research of movable archaeological objects (artefacts). Attention is drawn to the legislation on protection and preservation of archaeological and cultural heritage, procedure of cultural properties circulation in Ukraine. The main focus is on enshrining the concept of movable archaeological objects in legislation of Ukraine and some foreign countries. The issue of elaboration of this topic in the legislation and in forensic science is also addressed.
Movable archaeological objects are exchanged and traded, such as Palaeolithic art, Bronze Age ornaments, stone axes, etc. Since they can be subject of crimes, and accordingly, can be investigated in forensic institutions, it is required to create a methodology for investigation of movable archaeological objects (artefacts) and conduct systematic research activities for the needs of forensic experts to ensure efficient provision of justice in Ukraine. It is also emphasised that while forensic examination of movable archaeological objects it is vital to establish their authenticity or non-authenticity.

In recent times, archaeology has seen continuously growing interest from neighboring disciplines desiring to capitalize on archaeology's experience with the evaluation of material culture. In order to be able to answer the questions now posed to our field of research, we have to be conscious of our methods and their epistemological potential. On the basis of a characterization of archaeological sources, this article focuses on four relevant fields of inquiry with regard to the archaeological analysis of an object, that is, its materiality, archaeological context, spatial distribution, meanings, and power. Moreover, I suggest that an integration of aspects of Bruno Latour's Actor-Network Theory will enable archaeologists to gain further insights into the complex entanglement of humans and objects in the past.
