Systematic archeological studies were led in the Russian empire from 1830. It is justified by the creation ofprofessional scientific organization from I860. Among those who contributed the to our science, we can cite: the Academy of sciences, the Geographical society, the Archaeological Society in St. Petersburg as well as Moscow Archaeological Society which became the organizer of the archaeological congresses in Russia.

The development of prehistory in Russian empire was in narrow relation with Western Europe. It is therefore completely normal that in the course of the 19th century an international scientific collaboration sets up between the both countries. The exchanges among scientists were as necessary as regular. Trips abroad, work in library and in laboratory, participations in symposiums and conferences allowed France and Russia to develop narrow and lasting scientific relations in Natural sciences.

In the article the stages of settling and development of archeology in the University of Chemivtsi have been analyzed. Based on the materials from archeological researches the author clarifies the university professors.

Students learn the practical aspects of underwater archaeology by taking part in the underwater excavation of the shipwrecks.

On the solid area of7000 m2 there were found 168 burials and 6 objects of a settlement type. All four dwelling places were semi-dugouts, three of them had wattle and daub furnaces.

Obviously, life of this Chemiahov culture settlements did not seize after the arrival of the Huns in South-Eastern Europe.

The article in an attempt to view a dwelling place as an independent archeological source. By the materials of 1st—5th cent. AD (Late Zarubintsi sites, Kyiv and Chemiahov cultures) one can come to a conclusion that the main type of a dwelling place for Pra-Slavs in Middle Dnieper region was a log house, resembling a square form, going 0,1—0,3 m deep into the ground. A wattle and daub hearth served as a heating construction, sometimes a wattle and daub furnace. The continuation in local building traditions is recorded in the earliest monuments ofPenkivka and Kolochyn cultures.

Inhabiting of the forest-steppe and the steppe frontier in South-Eastern Europe by the Slavs predetermined the direct neighborhood ofthe Slavs and nomadic tribes. The contact zone between them in 6’h—Th cent. AD is being determined within the steppe frontier between the South Bug and the Severskiy Donets. The arrangement of the Slavic and nomadic sites at the left bank of the Dnieper indicate the interpenetration of both of the ethnic groups. Written and archeological sources enable to track the inter-ethnical contacts on the various demographic levels within the contact area.

The article introduces into the scientific circulation a complex of building б from Kanev settlement. This building apply to late stage of Rajky culture and dated as ending 9th —first half of 10″‘ cent. AD. The columnar construction of building 6 is ordinary for buildings of Rajky culture, but not for timber buildings ofKaniv settlement. Interior arrangement of building б has a good safety. Some details of interior have analogies in synchronous antiquities, but hearth and sleeping berth assemblies are unique for East-Sla\’ic materials.

This article introduces to the scientific world some new data, which characterizes farming of the representatives of the Saltiv culture.

The article deals with methodological aspects of using the archeological monuments of Stone Age as well as Eneolithic—Bronze Ages (complexes and seperate objects) in effort to create a museum exposition.

The typology of «archeoparks» in situ with the objects of exhibit in situ; without the objects of exhibit; «imagionable» museums («archeodroms» — «experimental settlements») is proposed. The author considered the structure of «archeoparks» in situ in the context of a «zones of protection of the archeological monument».

The author probes the modem state of museums, -which function in higher educational establishments under the management of the Department of Education and Science of Ukraine. She analyses their role in the scientific and pedagogical processes, determines reasons of the certain failings in the organization of their work, and offers concrete measures for solving these problems.
