Abstract
Aim. To consider and analyze the initial period of formation of Kuban archeology after the October Revolution and the role in this process of the Literary, Historical and Ethnological Society established at the Kuban Pedagogical Institute, the contribution of its members to the archaeological study of Kuban.
Methodology. The analysis of archival materials and documents of the Institute of the History of Material Culture of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Krasnodar Historical and Archaeological Museum-Reserve named after E.D. Felitsyn, the State Archive of the Krasnodar Territory. Comparative-historical and problem-chronological methods were used in the study.
Results. The article contains materials and documents on the activities of the first scientific association of archaeologists of Kuban after the revolution. During this period, systematic studies of the monuments of Prikuban began with the formulation of new tasks for that time in line with the new methodology. The most significant works of the pioneers of Kuban archeology (N.A. Zakharov, M.V. Pokrovsky) in the 1920s, who discovered and for the first time explored many now well-known monuments of Kuban archeology, are highlighted. Previously unpublished archival documents are being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, as well as a few little-known published materials.
Research implications. The results of the study contribute to the history of the archaeology of the North Caucasus. This work is of undoubted interest to researchers of ancient cultures of the region, since for the first time the materials of post-revolutionary field studies of the archaeological sites of Kuban are published. The materials presented in the article can be used in courses on the history of Russian archaeology, as well as in the study of certain aspects of the archaeology of the Early Iron Age of the Caucasus.
