Abstract
Aim. To show the reasons and characterize the most extensive archaeological research of mounds in Transnistria in the pre-revolutionary period.
Methodology. The analysis of published materials and archival documents devoted to the creation of the Kherson Museum of Antiquities and excavations on the left bank of the Dniester is carried out. Comparative historical and problem-chronological methods were used in the study.
Results. Based on the analysis of the documents, the leading role of V. I. Goshkevich in the organization and the possibility of continuing archaeological excavations in the vicinity of Tiraspol is shown. Along with the positive results of the excavations, the disadvantages of the applied field methodology are also indicated.
Research implications. The biographies of V. I. Goshkevich and I. Ya. Stempkovsky are presented with the involvement of a new historiography. For the first time, the question of their relationship was raised during the archaeological work. It is shown that their productive cooperation played an important role in the study and preservation of the cultural heritage of the region and the formation of the first collections of the Kherson Museum. The materials presented in the article can be used in courses on the history of Russian archaeology, as well as in the study of the archaeology of Transnistria.
