THE EXPERIENCE OF THE INTERDISCIPLINARY FIELD SCHOOL TO STUDY THE SITES OF THE STONE AGE
In the field season of 2019 in the territory of southern Kyrgyzstan, an interdisciplinary field school for the study of the Stone Age site was organized on the basis of the international Central Asian Paleolithic detachment, supported by the Scientific and Educational Center “New Archaeology” (Humanitarian Institute, Novosibirsk State University). The work of the school took place in the framework of three main blocks - lectures, excavation practice and excursions. During the implementation of the program, students attended lectures on Archaeology, Anthropology, Geology and Archaezoology. They also took a direct part in the archaeological excavations of five Stone Age sites that date between 120-6 kaBP. In addition, students completed individual training with the international experts present which is relevant to their specialization. Thus, within the framework of this field school, it was possible to test a new training format, which is aimed at training specialists of a narrow profile. In general, the implementation of educational programs in this format helps to increase the profile educational level of students, undergraduates and graduate students.
