Archaeological sites of the late Middle Ages – Modern History period in the Ob-Irtysh forest-steppe: a studying experience

The second half of the 20th century was marked by the rapid development of archeological science in the country and in Siberia in particular. The researches were also conducted on the archaeological sites of the late Middle Ages and Modern History periods.  Gradually, from episodic excavations in the different regions of the Ob-Irtysh, the scientific community moved on to their systematic study. As a result, special centers were formed where such topics were purposefully sown. Among the most successful implementation of the ethno-archaeology project, one should point out the Omsk Center, headed by Professor N. A. Tomilov. Also, an intensive study of the sites of the Modern History period of the designated territory was carried out by specialists from Tomsk State University, Novosibirsk State University and the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography SB RAS.
