The maps by S.U. Remesov and archaeological-ethnographic researches

The range of ethnoarchaeological researches is extraordinary wide and puts into itself methodological and theoretical works, field researches of a technique, studying of concrete phenomena of material and spiritual culture, the analysis of new sources. We will consider possibility of maps by S.U. Remezov for identification of perspective territories for studying. The area, which is potentially perspective for researches, settles down on midwaters of river Tom in northeast part of the Krapivinsky region of Kemerovo region. At the end of XVII and the beginning of the XVIII centuries when S.U. Remezov made the maps, this territory wasn't populated. It is clearly visible from the maps that in the territory between rivers Upper Ters of Iskitimka at the end of XVII also the beginning of the XVIII century there was only settlement -Tyulyubersky volost. Russian peasants moved onto this almost free land. Mungatsky ostrog (fort) was built to protect new villages. There was no military threat for this area judging by that the fort had no walls. The conclusion is obvious. At the beginning of XVIII century on free lands between across Tom approximately equally spaced from Tomsk and Kuznetsk appeared Russian complex, including a fort, villages, ostrog's and rural cemeteries, a chapel in the ostrog, in the XIX century and church. In a taiga a net of bottom lands was formed, some of them outgrow into villages. In one settlement Russians gradually assimilated tyulyuber. So, in rather limited territory there are archeological complexes of yearly XVIII century, ethnographic objects of XIX-XX centuries, the old residents remain, there are written and cartographical sources about this region. The area is interesting by the possibility to define accurately the bottom date of complexes, to consider process of settling and territory development, and the subsequent withdrawal of the population from it. The complex has to be pure, without foreign particulates, because even in XIX century this area was on remote from a straight road Kuznetsk-Tomsk. Archaeological works on studying of Russian sites weren't carried, except the search of a location of Mungatsky ostrog by archeologist Yu.V. Shirin and ethnographer V.M. Kimeev. Excavations can be carried out on the areas of villages of Lachinovo, Beryozovka, Berezovoyarka (Russians) and to Saltymakovo (tyulber and Russians). Besides, the Kemerovo archeologists worked in a zone of flooding of the Zelenogorsk hydroelectric power station discovered and investigated sites around Lachinovo and Lachinovsky Kurya, Saltymakovo. Thus the area, chosen since studying of the maps by S.U. Remezov, is perspective for ethnographic and archaeological researchers.
