Traditions and innovations in the archaeology of primitive and early traditional societies of the Crimea
Today we come to a significant date for the Crimean science - 70 years ago, with the active participation of P.N. Shultz the Research Base of the Academy of Sciences was organized in the Crimea. Soon Pavel Nikolaevich becomes the Head of one of the subdivisions of the already established branch of the Academy of Sciences - the Department of History and Archeology of the Crimea, from which it is possible to start counting the organizational formation of Crimean archeology. The scientist directs all his forces - both theoretical and practical field experience to the creation of a school of modern Crimean archeology. That time was distinguished not only by the complexity of approaches to the study of archaeological antiquities, but also by certain distortions. The very science of archeology in the discourse of the problems of social development was, in a sense, considered almost as the basic discipline that determines the systemic “ad fontas”, and for a long time not only in the Soviet Union. Variable time posed changing tasks for the science. In the early 90s, full of social, political and economic changes, the Crimean establishment, the Crimean scientific elite tried to answer the question, what is the «Crimea peninsula» and what it means in the Ukrainian, Russian, and in the world space.
