О пересечениях исследовательского поля этнической экологии и этноархеологии

Abstract

Modern theoretical formation of ecological anthropology and ethnoarchaeology in Russia occurred almost synchronously in 1970-80 in two main centres such as Moscow and Omsk. Such subject areas of ecological anthropology as the study of characteristics of the traditional ethnic subsistence, ethnic specificity of use of natural resources and impact on the environment, as well as the study of ethnic ecosystem formation and operation, turn out to be equally actual in ethnoarchaeology. The convergence of ecological anthropology and ethnoarchaeology is sometimes supported by the essential coincidence of methodology: the retrospective method, system and structural-functional analysis. It is obvious that within the system analysis of subsistence of human groups, interests of both scientific fields closely intersect. The most valuable point is the purposeful identification (based on ethnographic sources) of important details, consistent patterns and cultural phenomena that are associated with a certain human group and its subsistence. Taking into consideration the interdisciplinary dialogue of archaeology and ethnography, we can summarize that on the part of ethnographers, the specialists of ecological anthropology are the best ones, who are prepared for cooperation. On the basis of the Institute of the problems of Northern Development SB RAS (Tyumen), since 2013, a long-term ethnoarchaeological research project “Taz Selkups in 17th-20th centuries” have been successfully carried out.
