Naumova T.V. The study of archaeological antiquities from the Tula krai by members of the governorate scientific archival commissions at the end of the 19th – beginning of the 20th centuries

Abstract: The scientific archival commissions of the Ryazan, Kaluga, and Orlov governorates at the turn of the 19th–20th centuries played an important role in the advancement of archaeological studies of the Tula krai. Members of these commissions launched a vigorous study of the hill forts and burial mounds of the Upper and Middle regions of the Oka river. Research was focused on the Kashira, Aleksin, and Belyov uyezds of the Tula governorate, as well as on the Likhvin and Tarussa uyezds of the Kaluga governorate (modern Suvorov and Aleksin districts of the Tula oblast). Along with preserving the records of monument locations and descriptions, archaeological excavations took up a predominant place. This allowed the introduction into scientific use of valuable archaeological finds, to use them in scientific elaboration towards new information, and to identify the cultural significance and dating of monuments. The basis for this article is the examination and analysis of archival materials concerning the relevant archaeological studies, as well as the publication of results in scientific volumes. The scientific investigations by the members of the governorate scientific archival commissions neighbouring the Tula governorate contributed to the accumulation of new data and of widening the source base for the archaeological monuments of the Tula governorate. The introduction into scientific use of the research results helped to bring the attention of representatives of central archaeological societies and organisations to this territory, and to initiate the study of history and archaeology of this region by local ethnographers.
