Methods of ﬁxing, documenting and information modeling of objects of material culture: principles and approaches
This article deals with the discussion of the principles and approaches to the development of new methods of ethnographic research of material culture, where information technologies are involved. The hypothesis of the study was developed. According to this hypothesis the system of criteria should be based on the position of the applicability in ethnography of a number of digital methods. These methods were already successfully used in related sciences that also deal with the problems of material culture. It was concluded that the methodology of research in the humanitarian sphere is developing in the direction of processing and systematization of information obtained using information technologies. A new approach is the use of modern technologies and research methods for data collection and storage. These methods are also used for museumiﬁcation and graphic reconstruction of objects. The developed authorial techniques for ﬁeld and historical ethnography use new digital methods that are fully applicable to the ethnographic study of objects of material culture, which can take ethnographic science to a new level.
