Аннотация

The monograph of Professor Valery Kimeev is devoted to a highly topical current theme, namely, archaeological study of sites of Russian origin in Siberia. The author considered the ostrogs (Russian fortresses) located in the basin of the Tom River: Tomskii (1604), Kuznetskii (1618), Sosnovskii (1657), Verkhotomskii (1665) and Mungatskii (1715). Using archival and archaeological materials quite fully and objectively, the author reviewed the history of creation, restructuring and development of these sites, as well as established the places of their original location. The book is properly illustrated with archival and modern photographs, images of mock-ups of the ostrogs, drawings of archaeological artifacts, diagrams and maps. At the same time, it is necessary to point out some weak points of the monograph, which can be improved in the course of subsequent studies. However, in general the author has successfully solved the task of modeling the collective image of objects of this type, which is very important when conducting their field reconstructions.
