Full textAbstract:
Archeology is the only branch of human study that relies more on material remains left by people than on direct observation of human behavior or on written evidence. This focus on material evidence compels archaeologists to improve the methods and techniques of collecting and interpreting data that ensure the extraction of maximum information from available sources. The article provides an analysis of existing national and foreign information and geoinformation systems representing data on archaeological finds, cultural sites, and research documentation. A description of the existing standards, which regulate the list of attributes of geoarchaeological objects, is provided. The article also describes the stages of conceptual and logical modeling of the “ArchaeoNomos” database, which represents a unified repository for all data accompanying archaeological investigations, archaeological research and design, and documentation of research activities of the Scientific Research Center “Baikal Region” of Irkutsk State University. The problem of automating the processes of storage, processing, modification, and interpretation of geoarchaeological data is formulated. The system analysis of the subject area, system specification of an application that works with a database, the surveying specialists of the subject area to identify associations between database objects are presented. The infological and physical models of data presentation in the database are described, which allows the integration of the accumulated archaeological data into larger scientific associations. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of using relational databases as repositories for archaeological data are outlined. The purpose of creating the “ArchaeoNomos” database is to implement measures for the preservation of the archaeological heritage, including the introduction and the use of the database by scientists that systematize and automate access to accumulated scientific data, including literary sources. The sub-goals include solving the problem of organizing and storing archaeological data, implementing multilingual interfaces in the information system, organizing information support for field and laboratory archaeological research, transferring the physical (nondigital) historical data storage system to a digital system. “ArchaeoNomos” database allows to keep records, analyze, visualize, and interpret data on geoarchaeological sites of Irkutsk and the Irkutsk region.

Full textAbstract:
The article contains information about the emergence, building and development of the city of Khlynov (later Vyatka and Kirov). The objects are brought into correlation with the city maps of 1759 and 1784. The analysis is focused on the archaeological works — excavations, exploration, and supervision — carried out on the territory of the Kremlin during the 1935–2019 period. It was those works that made it possible to specify and correct the data of the written sources and allowed determining the location of specific objects. The authors of the archaeological works were scientific employees of the Kirov Regional Museum of Local Lore, the Research and Production Center for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Objects of the Kirov region and other academic centers (M. P. Gryaznov, L. P. Gussakovsky, L. D. Makarov, A. L. Kryazhevskykh). The article describes the topographic and geographical features of the development of the territory of Khlynov’s settlement. It provides an interpretation of archaeological and historical data, as well as description of objects of architectural complexes discovered during the archaeological research of the territory. The reliability of the interpretation of the data of archaeologists of different periods is analyzed, too.

Full textAbstract:
We discuss newly developed chronologies for two Classic Maya centers – Ek Xux and Muklebal Tzul – in the Maya Mountains of southern Belize. Previous research by the Maya Mountains Archaeological Project investigated these remote centers in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In 2022, the Bladen Paleoindian and Archaic Archaeological Project re-established archaeological research at Ek Xux and Muklebal Tzul with the goals of developing more detailed, multiproxy chronologies to understand the development and decline of each center, how they articulated with each other, and their relationships to nearby mortuary rockshelters. Here, we discuss the results of our 2022 test unit excavations, detailing the construction history of two elite residences as well as the civic ceremonial core of Ix Kuku’il in the foothills of the Maya Mountains. We provide a preliminary analysis of their chronologies based on architectural constructions and ceramic typologies. Finally, we highlight regional connections and interaction spheres of southern Belize drawing on our findings from the Ek Xux and Muklebal Tzul excavations and previously published ceramic typologies. This paper provides a foundation for future research in incorporating the Maya Mountain centers into multiproxy chronologies and the interaction spheres of southern Belize and beyond.

Research objectives: The aim of the study is to analyze the history of the city of Kasimov, show its development, and explore the issues of chronology and localization of individual urban areas. Research materials: Archaeological research data, written and cartographic sources, previously published works on this issue. Results and scientific novelty: This article deals with the history of the medieval city of Kasimov. This was the capital of the Kasimov Khanate from the middle of the 15th to the end of the 17th centuries. The study is based on the results of archaeological excavations and extensive historical data. It provides a detailed analysis of the development of a medieval city from the pre-Mongolian center on the Volga-Oka trade route to the capital of the Kasimov Khanate. The author highlighted the areas that arose at different times. The Kasimov archaeological complex is historically associated with the pre-Mongol period in the city’s history. At the end of the 13th century, the city was moved to the area of the Old Posad. In historical sources, it was called Gorodets Meshchersky (13th – the first half of the 16th centuries). Kasimov of the Khan’s time (middle of the 15th – middle of the 16th century) was located in the same place. In historical sources, it was known as Tsarevichev Gorodok. Settlement in the area of Tatarskaya Gora and Tatarskaya Sloboda began later than the middle of the 16th century. The Khan’s mosque bilding was also built at the same time. The territory of the modern city center with the Kasimov Kremlin was being developed at the end of the 16th – beginning of the 17th century. The author has traced the continuity of the development of medieval settlements from the Kasimov archaeological complex (the ancient settlement of Zemlyanoy Strug, the settlement of Dorofeevo Pole of the 9th – 13th centuries) to the Gorodets Meshchersky (13th – the first half of the 15th century) and to the capital of the Kasimov Khanate and the modern city. The article establishes the time of formation of the historical core of the medieval city and the stages of development of territories on the basis of archaeological research.

Abstract European countries interest for archaeological heritage, as part of the cultural landscape, was firstly expressed at the London Convention (1969), whose content was later revised by La Valetta Convention (1992). Romania joined this Convention in 2000, thus assuming the mission to protect and preserve the archaeological heritage, facing with massive economic development and urban expansion. Although we speak of a consecrated historical center, in Timisoara’s urban landscape preventive archaeology has become a reality only from 2004, when first researches were conducted. During the last few years, local infrastructure development has determined an extension of archaeological investigations over the historical area of the city, with major influences especially over public transportation (most of the times hampered, sometimes deviated, even blocked in the specific area, during archaeological research). Our approach focuses on multiple facets and implications of preventive archaeology over Timisoara’s urban landscape, from immediate, obvious issues (such as population’s satisfaction regarding archaeological investigations, their consequences (over access in the area, safety or transportation)), to long-term results (over local tourism, urban development or locals’ education for protecting and promoting cultural heritage).

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of the possibility of recreating the architectural and artistic image of the historical landscape, which has the status of an archaeological monument of the XVII century and includes a wooden fortress of the XVI–XVII centuries. In the recreated fortress, it is planned to organize an interpretive center “Hillfort Odoevskoe”.
Materials and methods. The research consisted of the field surveys, the study of historical, historical-architectural, local literary sources, documents, and identification of quantitative parameters necessary for the reconstruction of the fortress, as well as the use of these data in the conceptual architectural design. There is a lack of sources on the research subject. The discovered records mention the hillfort only in the context of general and local history. The research was carried out at the level of archaeological exploration; no iconographic materials were found.
Results. The study has found the possibility of a reconstruction of Odoev wooden fortress and proposed the concept of the architectural organization of the interpretation center “Odoevskoe settlement”. The research emphasized the importance of this recreation to increase the expressiveness of the urban composition, enrichment, and development of the functional structure of Odoev town. Odoevskaya fortress was a part of the Tula or Big zasechnaya line. Its creation in the XVI century and reconstruction in the XVII century were significant for the development of the state strategic measures . The passport of the hillfort monument states that it is of interest to reconstruct of the general system of fortifications of the XVII century. Odoevskaya fortress is a rare example of preserved natural and historical relief, the territory of which is free from buildings. The paper presents the rough plan and general characteristics of the hillfort reconstruction project. It also considered the proposals on the possibility of using structures with the allocation of several functional zones.
Conclusions. The study positively estimates the possibility of recreating the architectural and artistic image of the historical landscape, including the fortress of the XVI–XVII centuries and using the territory and constructions to organize the interpretation center.

Full textAbstract:
The excavation of Dăbâca castle started in the early 1960s. The contextualization of the results was heavily influenced by ideological preconceptions since the fortification was identified as the political-military centre of legendary “lord Gelou” by archaeologists, based on the material of only three seasons of archaeological research and a written source from a much later period. According to the archaeological and numismatic finds, the fortification was built in/after the first third of the 11th century, but the castle system reached the peak of its life in the 12th century. This is clearly demonstrated by the coins those were found in the graves in Castle Area IV, A. Tămaş’s garden and the graveyard of Boldâgă/Boldogasszony, just like by the diverse structures of the settlement. The transformation of the castle as a political and administrative center can be dated to the late 13th century. It seems that the changes in Dăbâca’s role were not the result of the Mongolian invasion, and can be traced back to other, both administrative and political reasons.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose. The basis of the research is the collection of horseshoes accumulated over the course of archaeological research of the historical center of the city of Tara in the Omsk region between 2007–2019. Currently, the collection contains 50 items. It is the largest collection among the studied Russian cities of Siberia. The aim of the study is to determine the level of development of certain technologies, transport and military affairs among the population on the basis of this category of items – from their manufacture to maintenance. The emergence of horseshoes became a step in the development of the economy, as it significantly increased the efficiency of the use of horses – the main driving force before the emergence of mechanical engines. Results. The collection items obtained over the course of archaeological research in Russian Siberian cities allow us to study the process of distribution of these devices in this region and the development of technical maintenance of horseshoe horses – production and replacement of horseshoes. The Tara collection, together with the context of their location, made it possible to study the ‘life’ of these items in detail – from manufacture to wear-breakage and their replacement. The main result of the study was the understanding of the need for constant ‘technical’ maintenance of putting horseshoes on horses, which was very significant in the military and economic aspect of the Russian Siberian city in the 17th – early 20th centuries. Conclusion. Study of appearance and distribution of such a technological method as putting horseshoes on horses in Russian Siberian cities allows to show the development of metalworking technologies and the appearance of innovations in other sectors of the economy – construction, trade, and so on.

Full textAbstract:
National Archaeological Site Parks are strategic projects in China for innovatively exploring the scientific protection and rational utilization of large heritage sites for the purpose of balancing urban development and protecting cultural heritage. Therefore, research on the spatial–temporal evolution and influencing factors of National Archaeological Site Parks can improve and optimize their management and pattern systems and is therefore of great significance for the sustainable development of large sites and their surrounding areas. Targeting the 135 National Archaeological Site Parks of China, this paper adopts the nearest-neighbor index analytical method, the kernel density estimation method, the standard deviation ellipse method, the method of constructing an indicator system, and an SPSS factor analysis method to analyze the spatial–temporal evolution and influencing factors of these parks. The findings are as follows: (1) In terms of the temporal evolution, the number of National Archaeological Site Parks increased from 2010 to 2022, and the ages and types of the large heritage sites they are built upon gradually became more balanced and diverse. (2) In terms of the spatial evolution, National Archaeological Site Parks form two high-density areas in Central China and East China. Their overall distribution is consistent with China’s “Hu Line”. (3) In terms of spatial–temporal evolution, the center of gravity of National Archaeological Site Parks’ distribution is advancing toward Southwest China, and the trend of a more balanced distribution is rising. (4) Finally, regional development, heritage tourism, historical resources, and government support were observed to be factors that affect the spatial–temporal patterns of the National Archaeological Site Parks. Based on these findings, we propose specific strategies for coordinating and linking the above four major influencing factors to promote the rational utilization of large heritage sites and the sustainable development of National Archaeological Site Parks. We aim to improve and optimize the management and pattern systems of National Archaeological Site Parks, to promote urban renewal based on large heritage sites, and to provide valuable insights for policy makers and heritage practitioners in other countries with historical resources around the world.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Archaeological predictive maps can be valuable tools for planning officers, spatial developers and archaeologists. In 2012, the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science asked the St Eustatius Center for Archaeological Research (SECAR) to create archaeological predictive maps for St Eustatius and Saba. The maps were supposed to contribute to more effective management and protection of archaeological sites. The maps were published in 2013 and 2015. The purpose of this paper is to address the question whether the subsequent use of these maps has indeed improved site management and protection. Design/methodology/approach The evaluation proceeded by identifying the users and applications of the maps through questionnaires and an internet search engine, along with follow-up interviews with heritage professionals on both islands. Findings The use of the predictive maps has not yet contributed to improved management and protection of archaeological sites on St Eustatius and Saba. Suggestions have been made to ameliorate this situation and to ensure the preservation of archaeological heritage for future generations. Originality/value The creation of archaeological predictive maps can be an important step towards improving management and protection of archaeological heritage, education and heritage awareness. This is important for St Eustatius and Saba, islands that are characterised by vulnerable archaeological heritage, rapid spatial development and a lack of efficient protection measures. This paper points to the importance of follow-up efforts to ensure effective site management and protection.

The article presents a schematic overview of the history of archaeological research of the underground mosque «Hilvet». The study is aimed at reviewing and analyzing the archaeological research of the underground mosque «Hilvet», one of the major centers of Sufism, which made a significant contribution to the flourishing development of Sufism and served from the ХІІ century to the first half of the ХХ century. Different results of archaeological investigations of the underground mosque «Khilvet», repeated reconstruction of the structure created difficulties in determining the exact history of the construction of the object. Specifying the terms and history of construction of such historical monuments allows us to generalize the functional and typological activities of religious underground structures. Expertise and analysis of archaeological data and data on the underground construction of «Khilvet» were carried out using the methods of historical comparison, type-inductive differentiation. The work aimed at revealing the meaning of scientifically refined opinions with an emphasis on methods of comparison and analysis was used in the systematization of data concerning the time and functional activity of the religious underground structure «Khilvet». Based on the results of repeated archaeological excavations that began in the first half of the 1970s and lasted for almost 30 years, it was possible to determine the exact construction date and condition of the original construction of the religious underground structure. The generalization of data from archaeological and historical research works is presented in scientific circulation with differentiation.

Research objectives: To analyze the problematic issues of the chronology, periodization, historical development, and economic development of the administrative center of the northeastern ulus of the Golden Horde – the Mokhshi city (Narovchatsky settlement). Research materials: Data from archaeological excavations of the Narovchatsky settlement, numismatic collections of the Golden Horde coins, and previously published works on this issue which need a critical approach and the addition of supplementary details. Results and novelty of the research: The history of the existence of this city covers the period from the XII century to the beginning of the XV century. The main sources are materials from archaeological excavations, including numismatic collection of coins minted in the Mokhshi city. Urban development objects are represented by mausoleums, mosques, industrial sites, and residential buildings, information about which is supplemented by finds of jewelry, household items, and weapons. In the pre-Mongol period, a Mordovian settlement arose here and at the beginning of the 14th century, the ulus center was transferred from the city of Ukek to Mokhshi. From that point, the city experienced its most flourishing period when it became not only an administrative but also a trade and craft center. Copper and silver coins were minted in the city. Buildings made of burnt bricks were erected, a white-stone mosque likewise being built. The development of the production traditions of the local Mordovian population continued, influenced by Volga Bulgaria, and noted changes in the spiritual culture of the site can be associated with the spread of Islam. From the mid-1360s, the decline of both the city itself and its rural districts can be observed.

This research paper explores the historical significance of the ancient city of Besnagar, located in Madhya Pradesh, India. Through archaeological excavations conducted by the Archaeological Survey of India, valuable artifacts and structures have been unearthed, shedding light on the city's prominence during the Mauryan and Shunga periods. Besnagar, believed to be a distorted form of Vaishya Nagar, was likely a prominent center of Vaishnavism in ancient times. Situated between the Betwa and Bes rivers, the city was protected by a nearly one-kilometer-long defensive wall on the Udayagiri Road. Outside the city walls, a large reservoir made of massive stones stored water from both rivers, contributing to the city's development. The study aims to shed light on the historical context, architectural features, and religious significance of the Vishnu Temple and other archaeological remains from the site.

Full textAbstract:
The article reinterprets the process of legal support for archaeological research in independent Ukraine. The formation of the legislative framework for the protection and use of historical and cultural monuments was monitored. The «Regulations on the State Register of National Cultural Property» was considered. Attention is focused on the laws «On the protection of cultural and historical heritage» and «On the protection of archaeological heritage», which were adopted with the aim of improving the legal regulation of the protection and preservation of material remains of the past, and the effectiveness of their use in practice is analyzed. The relationship between the current legislation of Ukraine and the development of archaeological research is indicated. The powers of central executive bodies and other cultural heritage protection bodies, without which the implementation of archaeological research at the legislative level is impossible, are considered. Attention is paid to permits for conducting archaeological explorations, excavations and other earthworks. The importance of the preparation of scientific reports by archaeologists in archaeological activities was noted, and it was indicated that thanks to the detailed regulation of the process of conducting archaeological research and submitting scientific reports, the state of archaeological sources improved. Attention is focused on revealing the activities of the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and the Department «Field Committee», which monitors the quality of professional excavations on the territory of Ukraine. The rights and responsibilities of archaeological heritage researchers are highlighted, the legal status of the archaeological expedition is considered. The main provisions of the Code of Ethics of a Professional Archaeologist, which was created to determine the basic moral and ethical norms of professional archaeologists' activities and their attitude to archaeological heritage, are reflected. Attention was paid to the activities of research centers: «Rescue Archeology Service» (1994), «Protection Archeology Service of Ukraine» (2001), «Centre of Archeology of Kyiv of the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine» (2006), which allows identifying and saving valuable monuments tombs of different archaeological periods. It is noted that a significant problem in the field of archaeological heritage protection is the coordination of the activities of developers and subjects of economic activity with the bodies of cultural heritage protection. The importance of cooperation of state bodies for the protection of historical and cultural heritage with archaeological institutions was considered, it was noted that this cooperation will allow to develop an effective system of protection of archaeological heritage, to carry out professional certification of monuments of the past, to improve legislative and regulatory acts, which as a result could improve the state of preservation of monuments of archeology and reduce their theft. It is indicated that in 2021, the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine issued «Proposals on improving the legal protection of archaeological heritage...» to speed up the process of Ukraine joining the Council of Europe Convention, which will allow to more effectively fight against illegal construction works, «treasure hunters» and minimize destruction of archaeological monuments. Key words: monument protection legislation, archaeological heritage protection, archaeological research, scientific report, archaeological monuments.

In June 2021, the Kuzbass team of the Department of Rescue Archaeological Work of the IAE SB RAS, together with employees of the Laboratory of Archeology of the Federal Research Center of Coal and Coal Chemistry of the SB RAS, carried out archaeological exploration as a part of the state historical and cultural expertise of the land plot intended for inclusion into development area of the Karachiyak coal deposit (The Korchakolsky and Korchakolsky Glubokyi sections) of the Kuznetskinveststroi Company in Novokuznetsk District of Kemerovo Region - Kuzbass. Presently, over thirty sites of archaeological heritage belonging to the Final Upper Paleolithic - Early Holocene are known in the Kondoma River basin. The land plot which was assigned for coal mining is located on the left bank of the KondomaRiver Valley around the village of Taylep; on the northern side it is bounded by the Taylep River and is closely adjacent to the Korchakol coal mine on the west. As a result of the works, 285 pits were made over a total area of546 sq. m, and five objects of archaeological heritage, preliminarily dated to the Final Upper Paleolithic - Early Holocene, were discovered. Thirty artifacts were found in archaeological pits, including cores, burins, scrapers, blade, spalls, flakes, and fragments. The raw materials of lithic industries at the Taylep 4-8 sites were pebbles, which widely appear in channel alluvium of the Kondoma River. According to its technical and typological features, the complex of lithic industry from the Taylep 4-8 sites forms a single cluster with the evidence from the Taylep 1 and 2 sites (lower cultural horizon) which were studied during the rescue archaeological excavations in 2020.

Full textAbstract:
Past Maya communities were composed of a number of social, political, and economic components that were bound together in specific ways. Understanding how such components were organized at the scale of the entire community to form a single functioning entity is an important archaeological issue that is presently not well understood. To address this issue, large-scale research into community organization has been initiated at the Terminal Classic (A. D. 800-1000) Puuc center of Sayil. A program of broad-scale surface collections has systematically covered almost 1.5 km2 of the site's mapped urban area (3.5 km2). Preliminary results from the 1990 field season are providing data related to important components of the community such as social differentiation, economic and subsistence specialization, and the spatial structure of political and religious organization. This study is contributing toward the development of new methods for exploring large archaeological sites and can be employed ultimately to address broader issues concerning societal transformations among the Prehispanic Maya.

The article examines the early history of one of the largest historical cities of the Czech Republic – Pilsen. It is shown that the city went through two stages in its development: initially it was one of the most important regional towns of the medieval Bohemian state, and in 1295, in the immediate vicinity of the old settlement, a royal city was founded, endowed with self-government rights and other privileges on the basis of city law, which became the center of economic life and a point of concentration of the population. By the end of the XIV century, it became the third largest city in the Czech Republic and inherited the name Pilsen, leaving the old settlement with the name Old Pilsenets.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the history of preservation of the archaeological monuments of the city of Mérida that keep the memory of the former greatness of the capital of the Roman province of Lusitania. The Archaeological Museum of Merida was founded under the Royal Decree of 1836. Subsequently, it transformed from a small collection of local artworks into the National Museum of Roman Art, i.e., it was recognized and declared as being of national importance. On July 10, 1975, the Royal Decree was adopted to open the National Museum of Roman Art in Mérida. The latter became the first museum to receive the national status outside the Spanish capital of Madrid. Its collections and activities revolve around the Roman period, to which a permanent exhibition in a new specially designed building is dedicated. The Visigothic collection is housed in a separate building of the Santa Clara Church, for which a new exhibition space is currently being planned. The history of the museum’s collections is inseparable from the work of people who made a great contribution both to the replenishment of the funds and to the evolution of the exposition discourse. The museum has embarked on a rich research program to study and popularize Roman history and culture. By continuing as the National Center for the Study of the Roman World, it remains true to the original research task. Therefore, the National Museum of Roman Art in Mérida can be defined as the largest cultural center of all aspects of the daily life of Augusta Emerita, one of the main cities on the western border of the Roman Empire.

Several cities in Indonesia that was built and developed during the colonial era can be categorized as planned cities and grew due to industrial and mining activities. Manggar is a city that grew due to tin mining activities on the east of Belitung Island. This paper will examine the cityscape of Manggar which developed from a simple settlement into a complex settlement. In addition, this paper will also discuss ethnic segregation in Manggar which is one of the characteristics of the city that grew in the colonial era. The source of the data in this article is the result of archaeological research conducted by the Archaeological Center of South Sumatra in 2021. This research compared archaeological data with historical data together with old maps. The results of the analysis showed that Manggar had four phases of development between the early nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In addition, there is also a clear pattern of separation between settlement of one ethnicity with the other ethnicities scattered in Manggar City. The separation of these settlements was a manifestation of the policy of the Dutch East Indies Government issued in 1854 regarding the stratification of social classes based on ethnic groups.

Full textAbstract:
"Over the past two decades, the accelerated development of historical urban centers in Transylvania has determined an increase in archaeological rescue interventions. The phenomenon was also documented in Cluj‑Napoca. However, the legislative framework and the attitude of local decision‑makers remain deficient in protecting and capitalizing on the built historical heritage and archaeological remains in the urban area. The lack of complex research programs focusing on Transylvanian urban environments has also enabled widespread ignorance regarding the archaeological remains of the modern period. The development of the entire field of study of urban historical archaeology has thus been inhibited. This field of archaeology provides the theoretical framework and methodological background for the research carried out in the second part of 2021 on three of the secondary streets of the historical center of Cluj: Gaál Gábor St., Hermann Oberth St. and Emmanuel de Martonne St. The contextualization of the discoveries in the three streets adjacent to the famous Platea Luporum intra muros (Farkas utca, Mihail Kogălniceanu St.) has facilitated the analysis of urban planning efforts throughout the modern age, as well as their antecedents and origins. The research has highlighted different situations for each of the streets in question, regarding their period of origin, possible mutations, and connections with the associated urban lots. Emmanuel de Martonne St. is a late modern creation, planned and executed in two stages during the second half of the nineteenth century. Unlike it, Hermann Oberth St. is considerably earlier in date, possibly medieval, with a well‑defined and documented trajectory since the seventeenth century. Furthermore, Gaál Gábor St. was originally an obscure footpath that originated in the first half of the eighteenth century. It now has a partially altered trajectory due to urban systematization works dated to the beginning of the twentieth century. Their simultaneous research has allowed us to follow a long process of reconfiguration and multiplication of the street network in this micro‑area of historical Cluj."

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn 1979 I initiated a program of archaeological fieldwork in the Tuxtlas Mountains in southern Veracruz, Mexico. One of the working hypotheses guiding this research was that Matacapan, the principal archaeological site in the area, headed a political economy dominated by persons from the great central Mexican center of Teotihuacan. In this paper I present evidence characterizing the economy that Matacapan dominated during the Classic period. My conclusion is that there was significant variation in system organization through time. Findings from the Tuxtlas indicate that the Early Classic regional system was small scale and organized most likely as a bounded hierarchical economy. In contrast, a dendritic political economy developed in Middle Classic times, in which the production of ceramics and/or their contents for distribution beyond the local region was emphasized. The Late Classic system was smaller scale, with most production destined for local clienteles, but apparently it was more commercialized, resembling an interlocking central-place system in several respects.

Full textAbstract:
The archaeological direction in the Japanese studies in Russia originated at the end of the 19th century on the basis of the first trips and acquaintance with the antiquities of Japan (M.I. Venyukov, A.V. Grigoriev, I.S. Polyakov, D.M. Pozdneev), and transformed into an original direction in the Soviet period. The fruitful dialogue between Russian and Japanese archaeologists is largely due to both the territorial proximity and common roots of ancient cultures, starting from the Stone Age, as well as mutual interest in the archaeology of the Pacific basin as a whole. Since the early 1960s, one of the leading roles in this collaboration is played by the Novosibirsk Scientific Center (Institute of History, Philology and Philosophy, Siberian Branch of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Faculty of Humanities of NSU) and such specialists as A.P. Okladnikov, A.P. Derevyanko, R.S. Vasilevsky, and V.E. Larichev. In the first post-Soviet decade, there was a transition to new formats – long-term joint projects and archaeological expeditions, which are carried out on the basis of bilateral agreements between research organizations in Japan and Russian institutes (universities, museums) from a number of cities in Siberia and the Russian Far East. Cooperation reached its peak in 2007/8–2019, enjoying the support of Russian (RSFH, RFBR, RSF) and Japanese scientific foundations, and was implemented in a variety of formats (projects, exchanges, internships, symposiums, exhibitions, publications, etc.) and in a variety of geographical areas, both in Russia and Japan, as well as third countries – in Central Asia (Mongolia) and South America (Ecuador). One of the striking examples of such interaction is the fruitful cooperation of the Division of Foreign Archaeology (Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography SB RAS, Novosibirsk) and the Laboratory of Archaeology (Tohoku University, Sendai), resulting in a large number of publications in leading scientific journals and several dissertation studies on the Jomon and Kofun periods.

Underwater cultural heritage and issues related to its study, preservation and museumification are increasingly emerging in the Russian museological and cultural discourse. Major engineering projects that affect the seabed require underwater archaeological surveys, followed by preservation of underwater artifacts.The process of underwater cultural heritage preservation and actualization in the coastal zone is increasingly taking the popular approach — creation of underwater parks and routes. The theory of formation of underwater parks as museum-type institutions and the development of opportunities for preserving cultural heritage in the underwater environment attract the attention of subject matter specialists. At the same time, the approaches to organizing the ground structure of these institutions do not receive enough attention from researchers.This paper aims at forming a structural concept of an underwater park’s visitor center. The article identifies the main studies concerning the theoretical basis of designing underwater parks and forming visitor centers, highlights the possible tasks, and defines the key functions and structural content of an underwater park’s visitor center.The research is based on Russian and foreign theoretical studies, primarily by authors from the Mediterranean countries. The article considers the design of visitor centers through the prism of mainly Russian works devoted to the creation of visitor centers and museums on the basis of land-based specially protected natural areas.In conclusion, the article highlights promising areas for further research in relation to underwater parks and the methodology for preserving and updating underwater cultural heritage with their help.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractMesoamerican archaeologists have long realized that agricultural food storage helped support large prehispanic centers, especially in places where food production was seasonally constrained by culture and environment. Yet, past storage has rarely been identified or interpreted accurately at Mesoamerican sites – a dilemma that challenges archaeologists to improve research methods. To meet this challenge, recent ethnoarchaeological research into household maize storage behavior among traditional Puuc Maya farmers has revealed that storage is closely interrelated with daily food processing activities. This information has fostered the development of a storage model (based on houselot spatial organization, activity scheduling, and refuse disposal), providing a framework to interpret the material remains of storage-related behavior affected by diverse maize storage techniques. Excavations within modern Puuc houselots have begun to document feature, refuse, chemical, and botanical patterns that indicate storage places. Together, these storage patterns and their spatial associations in Puuc houselots contribute significant information towards building an archaeological storage method.

Full textAbstract:
Bibracte is described as a well-managed property with significant heritage value. Even as the site’s managing body and its partners continue to deliver encouraging and engaging projects, there are barriers to success. Thus, the primary purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the possible future challenges that the current management may encounter. This study used a field work methodology, and comprised interviews, observations, guided visits, discussions, discourse analysis, and the review of an important corpus of material, from which conclusions were drawn. Significant problems arising from various causes were identified. The results reveal that despite the appropriate heritage management, interpretation, and tourism development practices, the heritage and tourism potential remain not fully captured. The management of the site has established its notoriety as an important research center for experimental and educational archaeology, rather than as an important tourist attraction. Thus, the site has failed to become a popular tourist destination. These difficulties are said to have been molded and enforced by imperatives connected to the site and its surroundings, as well as the Réseau des Grands Sites de France title. This research may contribute to elucidating heritage sites and their unknown management difficulties, which will be beneficial to the sites’ employees and visitors.

In the paper, separate information about archaeological finds and predatory excavations on the territory of the Samara Governorate in the middle of the XIX-beginning of XX centuries is collected for the first time. The process of archaeological study of the Samara Governorate in the pre-revolutionary period of development of the Samara archaeology remains unexplored. As a result the author has made a set of archaeological discoveries and excavations made on the territory of the Samara Governorate in the second half of XIX-beginning XX centuries. The list of finds includes all facts of the discovery revealed during the research of archaeological sites and individual artifacts with indication of detection time, place, and composition of the find or treasure. The author revealed 142 evidences of found antiquities according to the research of the second half of XIX-early XX centuries. They are hoards of coins, jewelry, household items, religious objects and other finds accumulated in the scientific centers and museums in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kazan, Samara, Saratov and Simbirsk. Many of finds are lost or their location is unknown. The issues raised in the paper are inseparably linked with the problem of accounting and protection of archaeological sites, preservation of cultural heritage.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the main directions and problems of historical and topographic research of Ukrainian cities of the Middle Ages and early modern times. One of the important areas of historical research is the study of the historical topography of settlements at different stages of their evolution. A necessary condition for such research is the study of the historical topography of settlements at different stages of development. Quite often the reason for insufficient study of the historical and topographic dominants of the medieval city is the limited number of narrative evidence on the history of the city, among which there is no detailed topographic description. In this case, of course, the integrated use of verbal, cartographic and archaeological sources becomes especially important. Only the combination of data of toponymy, historical topography with archaeological and written sources, their mutual verification and addition can give interesting scientific results. Without the data of historical topography, the study of spatial history, historical urbanism is inconceivable, it is the basis of sociotopography. The study of the topography of the medieval city includes a number of problematic issues: time and sequence of foundations of different parts of the city and lost buildings, toponymy and its changes, the degree of authenticity of chronicles and other written sources, archaeological material, city boundaries, roads, etc. Attention to the problems of the historical topography of Ukrainian cities in different periods is due to the need to develop and comprehensively reproduce the characteristics of urban development. Consideration of various aspects of the historical topography of medieval and early modern cities of Ukraine allows us to trace the dynamics of powerful urban centers in time and space. However, today, many historical cities of Ukraine have not become the object of comprehensive scientific research. Among other areas of historical topography studies, the creation of virtual models of urban fortifications in 3d format with reference to the Global Position System has recently become relevant. After all, the latest technology allows you to see deeper and solve those scientific problems, the formulation of which until recently looked fantastic.

A few historical source mention the Kingdom of Loloda as one of the great kingdoms of North Maluku, contemporaneous with the four Islamic kingdoms that developed into sultanates, namely Ternate, Tidore, Bacan and Jailolo. However, compared to these powers, the development of Islamic rule in Loloda is not well known through historical sources, and the kingdom is even said to have collapsed in the early 20th century. In this article I discuss the results of research to trace archaeological evidence about the history of the Kingdom of Loloda. Starting with literary sources, I then describe the results of archaeological surveys in the area mentioned in historical text and public information. Archaeological surveys indicate that the center of the Loloda kingdom was located in the Loloda watershed in Loloda Sub-district, Halmahera Barat District. Archaeological research results suggest the Kingdom of Loloda grew from the 15th century and experienced collapse at the time of European colonialism.Kerajaan Loloda dalam teks sumber sejarah yang terbatas, disebut-sebut sebagai salah satu kerajaan besar di Maluku Utara, sezaman dengan empat aliansi kerajaan Islam yang berkembang menjadi kesultanan yakni, Ternate, Tidore, Bacan, dan Jailolo. Namun dibanding keempat kekuasaan Islam itu, Loloda tidak diketahui perkembangannya, bahkan disebut runtuh pada awal abad 20 dan hilang dalam catatan sejarah perkembangan kekuasaan Islam. Penulisan ini berdasar pada hasil penelitian untuk melacak bukti-bukti arkeologi tentang sejarah Kerajaan Loloda. Dimulai dari pengumpulan sumber literatur, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan survei arkeologi di wilayah yang disebut dalam teks sejarah dan informasi masyarakat. Berdasarkan hasil survei arkeologi, diketahui adanya lokasi yang menjadi indikasi pusat kerajaan Loloda di DAS (daerah aliran sungai) Loloda di Kecamatan Loloda Kabupaten Halmahera Barat. Hasil penelitian arkeologi menggambarkan bahwa Kerajaan Loloda berkembang pada abad 16 dan mengalami keruntuhan sesudahnya ketika kolonialisme bangsa Eropa berkembang di wilayah itu.

Full textAbstract:
While sustainability is widely recognized as necessary for managing heritage sites, balancing preservation demands with tourism development pressures presents significant challenges. A critical gap in the existing research relates to understanding the recurring issues that undermine the long-term sustainability of prominent archaeological destinations in Egypt and visitor well-being. Specifically, more research is needed to identify the specific sustainability and visitor experience problems that persist across Egypt’s major archaeological sites despite ongoing management efforts. Addressing this knowledge gap could help inform strategies for these destinations to balance conservation priorities with tourism in a more sustainable manner that enhances visitors’ cultural exploration. This study contributes a novel multisite content analysis of over 4423 online reviews from TripAdvisor pertaining to three of Egypt’s premier archaeological destinations—Giza Pyramids, Al Mu’izz Street, and Saqqara. Using established text mining methodologies and algorithms within Voyant Tools, critical challenges were identified through word frequency, concept network, and trend analyses. Recurring issues documented included uncontrolled commercialization undermining the ambiance of historic locales, environmental degradation from inadequate waste management and tourism overflows, and overcrowding compromising visitor comfort, health and safety. Deficiencies in signage, transportation, and other tourist services were also prominent themes. The holistic evaluation of cross-cutting concerns faced at the diverse yet interrelated sites advanced the theoretical knowledge on cooperative governance models and competencies necessary for integrative heritage management. The recommendations center on collaborative stakeholder partnerships to reform commercial practices through licensing and enforcement, upgrading aging infrastructure to support sustainable tourism volumes, and implementing zoning and carrying capacity policies tailored to local community contexts. The proposed solutions aim to safeguard Egypt’s irreplaceable cultural treasures by addressing recurrent problems that undermine environmental, economic and socio-cultural sustainability if left unresolved, positioning its archaeological wonders for appreciation and study by present and future generations.

AbstractArchaeologists from the Center for American Archeology (CAA) in Kampsville, Illinois, are engaged in a program to test the potential for ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and electrical resistance tomography (ERT) to effectively document the internal structure of a variety of Middle (ca.2200–1550 B.P.) and Late Woodland (ca.1550–950 B.P.) mounds in the Lower Illinois River Valley (LIV). This project, embedded within ongoing CAA regional research efforts and the Arizona State University Kampsville Field School, demonstrates that both GPR and ERT permit the identification and measurement of significant internal mound structures. Key structural elements can be confidently identified in the geophysical data from the five test mounds, and excavation results can be conclusively linked with results of excavation in mounds that have been tested. This study opens the way for the development of a set of procedures for a regional research initiative in the LIV to understand structural variation between Middle and Late Woodland mounds using ground-based remote sensing methods as a primary source of data and thus minimizing invasive and destructive investigation techniques.

Full textAbstract:
The article attempts to summarize the existing published and known archival sources on the history of the Narodychі town, located in the north of Zhytomyr Region. The results of archaeological research of the town are also generalize, carried out in 1925—1927, 2013 and 2020.
It is mistakenly considered that Narodychi were first made known in the revision of the Ovruch castle in 1545. In fact, Narodychi, as a domain or benefice of the Yelеts noble family, are mentioned in official documents from the 3rd quarter of the 15th century. At the beginning of the 17th century Narodychi grow into a town in which a wooden and earthen castle is built. During the 16th—18th centuries, Narodychі was successively owned to the noble families of Yeltsy, Fox-Potocki and Pavshi. After the divisions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the town was expropriated to the treasury of the Russian Empire.
The first archaeological researches on the territory of the town were conducted Ivan Levytskyi in 1925—1927. He explored and described the remains of three fortifications in the center of Narodychi, an adjacent unfortified settlement and a burial mound. The results of these studies remained unpublished.
The latest archaeological researches of the town were conducted under the author’s direction. During the explorations in 2013, the ancient fortifications sites were identified, the historical topography of the town was clarified, and numerous ceramic materials from the Old Rus’ period, the post-Mongol era, the Middle Ages, and the Early Modern times were found. There were stationary works on the area of fortifications in summer of 2020. As a result, the strength and degree of preservation of cultural layers were clarified, the remains of archaeological objects were recorded (a cellar with artifacts of the 2nd part of 17th century, a wood-chemical production facility, a roaster), the assumptions about the settlement of the central part of Narodychi in the Old Rus’ period were confirmed, data on almost continuous development of town in the Middle Ages was obtained, promising areas for further archaeological research were determined.

AbstractThe Maya archaeological site of Ucanal is located in Peten, Guatemala, close to the contemporary border with Belize. In pre-Columbian times, the site also sat at the frontiers of some of the largest political centers, Naranjo in Peten, Guatemala, and Caracol, in Belize. Entangled between these dominant centers and with ties to peoples in the Upper Belize Valley, the Petexbatun region in Guatemala, northern Yucatan, and elsewhere, Ucanal was a critical convergence zone of political and cultural interaction. This paper synthesizes archaeological research by the Proyecto Arqueológico Ucanal to underscore the ways in which this provincial polity, identified epigraphically as K'anwitznal, maneuvered within and between different cultural affiliations and political networks. We find that the site's role as a political frontier during the Late Classic period was more of a bridge than an edge. During the later Terminal Classic period, the K'anwitznal kingdom gained independence, but continued to serve as a critical convergence of influences and interaction spheres from throughout the Maya area and beyond.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, we update La Milpa’s settlement history using data produced during the course of the Programme for Belize Archaeological Project’s (PfBAP) 15-year tenure (2007-present) at the central precinct of La Milpa, one of the largest urban centers in the eastern Maya lowlands. The research model employed at PfBAP is one that enables multiple research projects to run concurrently, allowing investigators to tackle complex questions of community organization from various research angles. Since 2007, ten different projects have run, sometimes concurrently, within the central precinct of La Milpa. Based on the information gathered from these projects, we propose a narrative for La Milpa’s growth and contraction that is anchored on an understanding of urban space as a reflection and materialization of a community’s relationships – across and through socio-political hierarchies – as well as its surrounding social, political, economic, technical, and ideological environment. As such, the use, development, and abandonment patterns observed in La Milpa’s central precinct are used as proxy for La Milpa’s community history.

Full textAbstract:
The 100th anniversary is a significant milestone in the scientific biography of the Order of the Badge of Honor of the Institute of History, Language and Literature of the Ufa Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, which is one of the leading research centers of the republic and the country, developing ethno-national topics related primarily to the study of socio-cultural history, language, literature and folklore of the Bashkir people. As you know, the centennial anniversary in the life of any scientific organization is a generalization of the path traveled, the accumulated research experience, scientific achievements, the definition of plans and current directions for further work. Over the years of its existence, the Institute has gone through several major reorganizations, formed more than a dozen reputable scientific schools, widely known not only in the republic but also abroad, became the source of academic scientific thought in Bashkortostan and the entire South Ural region, trained hundreds of highly qualified scientific personnel, well-known scientists and researchers in the scientific world, who made a worthy contribution to the development of national humanities. From the study of archeology and ancient history and culture of the region to the analysis of modern socio-cultural processes, ethnography and the anthropology of Bashkirs, the history and current state of the Bashkir language and its dialects, Bashkir folklore, the history and theory of Bashkir literature - this is the thematic range of fundamental scientific research of the Institute's staff. Annual archaeological and dialectological expeditions, holding scientific conferences of various levels, active cooperation with scientific centers of the regions of Russia, near and far abroad, participation in competitions for grants, work with graduate students are inseparable links of the scientific life of the Institute. Landmark archaeological discoveries, works on history performed by large collectives, large multivolume collective works, multi-volume collections of Bashkir folklore, anthologies of Bashkir literature, numerous multi-aspect and thematic dictionaries having not only scientific, but also social, cultural, educational significance, innovative scientific discourses demonstrate the research capabilities of scientists and the ability of the institute to qualitatively solve the problems facing modern humanitarian science.
