In Russia, archaeologists have studied the most European part, southern regions. Everything beyond the Urals is practically White spot.

What is the general degree of study of the archaeological heritage of Russia? Less than one percent. This is largely due to the fact that the history of archeology in our country has about 150 years, while in other countries it is 300-400 years. In Denmark, for example, it is believed that almost everything has been studied during this time. We have a huge territory and a meager number of archaeologists, and therefore the white spots are colossal. Judge for yourself: this year, 1,500 open sheets have been issued for the whole of Russia, while the Federal State of Brandenburg in Germany annually issues 1,000 licenses for archaeological research!

The Institute of Archeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences in a press release dated November 29, 2016 announced the creation of the first electronic map of Russian archaeological sites:

Created the first electronic map of archaeological sites in Russia

To date, the database, which forms the basis of the archaeological map, has been loaded with information about the monuments explored from 2009 to 2012 - this is information about 15367 archaeological heritage sites, as well as about 11230 "empty" pits, where no cultural layers were found.

This card itself is unique instrument, which for the first time allowed us to see Russia as a single field of archaeological work, allowed us to see white spots on it,” says Nikolai Makarov.

In particular, it turned out that archaeological sites on the territory of Russia are distributed very unevenly. The higher density of sites in the south, their significantly higher concentration in the European part of Russia compared to Siberia, are not a surprise for archaeologists. However, the maps show the sharpness of contrasts that characterizes almost all chronological sections, the situation of various historical eras. Almost 73% of Russian archaeological sites affected by surveys in 2009-2012 (11176 objects) are located to the west of the Urals.

"This picture reflects not only modern research activity, but to a greater extent - general patterns in the distribution of the population and the development of the territory that have existed since ancient times," said Nikolai Makarov.

He stressed that this is only the beginning of the work, the institute's archives contain information about 133,000 monuments that have been studied since 1945. “We decided that the core of the map would be the most up-to-date information, and it is representative enough to allow us to compile general idea on archaeological geography. Of course, we will continue to enter data and after a while it will become much more complete, ”the scientist noted.

- Who will have access to this system?

For us, this is a “hot” issue - after all, monuments can be very vulnerable if this information gets into the public domain. The policy of its provision should be carefully considered. [Alexey Voroshilov]

There is a very serious problem looting at archaeological sites. Any information that we publish is immediately scrutinized by robbers armed with metal detectors. [Dmitry Korobov]

It is necessary to make sure that, on the one hand, the availability stipulated by the terms of the grant is observed, and on the other hand, the information does not fall into the hands of looters. I think it will need to be dosed so that someone can see the location of monuments without clear coordinates or simply get fresh data on them, but specialists would have the most full information. [Olga Zelentsova]

- “Black diggers”, as a rule, are interested in ancient coins, weapons, etc. valuable relics. But why don't you seize these treasures yourself, if you know where they are?

It is important to clarify here that treasures are not archaeology. Archeology deals with context. In some ways, our science is similar to forensic science. That is, we study antiquities, and it is important for us to know what, how and where was discovered. If you just pull a thing out of the ground and put it in a museum, valuable archaeological information will be lost. Therefore, it is important that some reserved places remain at the sites of the archaeological heritage for future excavations, when scientists have opportunities that are not comparable to ours.

Take the same genetic analysis that is now being actively introduced in archeology - today we know that we need to work with disposable gloves so as not to bring our own into ancient samples. genetic information. It turns out that all the excavations that were made up to a certain point did not meet this condition. [Dmitry Korobov]

The prevailing stereotype of an archaeologist in the person of Indiana Jones, who, risking his life, was looking for treasures and artifacts among wild animals and other different creatures, has a competitor - Google Earth. Google virtual map last years has become a serious research tool modern archaeologists and treasure hunters.

Google Earth is a 3D model of the Earth, fully covered with detailed space and aerial photographs. The SPOT 5 satellite works for the project. The birds-eye smart streaming technology is used, which allows loading more detailed photo textures as the camera approaches the object. For most people, the program remains a curious toy, but some have approached this tool professionally.

The term "armchair archaeologist" was coined in 2006, after an American, Scott Madry, made several archaeological discoveries in France using a Google virtual map. However, with the opening of more than two thousand promising archaeological sites V Saudi Arabia The "cabinet" method has recently reached a completely different level. Australian David Kennedy does not roam the planet with a revolver and dusty ancient map, his working tool is Google Earth. He scanned 1,240 square kilometers of Saudi Arabia and found 1,977 promising sites for excavation, including 1,082 stone burials, writes NewScientist.

"I've never been to Saudi Arabia, it's not a country where you can easily go," admits the scientist, who works at the University of Western Australia in Perth. In his opinion, aerial photographs of the territory of this country are inaccessible to most archaeologists and it is difficult, if not impossible, to cover the entire territory with them. "However, Google Earth can overcome this hurdle," says Kennedy. He asked a friend in Saudi Arabia to take pictures of some of the objects he found on site and compared them to images of graves he had seen in Jordan. Kennedy concluded that these finds were traces of ancient pre-Islamic cultures and could be up to nine thousand years old. “But Google Earth cannot determine whether we found a structure made by the Bedouins 150 years ago or ten thousand years ago,” the scientist says and adds that he will soon try to check his guesses on the spot, having received permission to excavate.

The discoverer of "armchair" archeology was not an archaeologist at all, but an ordinary Italian programmer, Luca Mori, who in 2005 studied maps of the area around Sorbolo near Parma and noticed an oval object about 500 meters long there. Turned out it was a twist. ancient river. Next to her, Luka noticed a rectangle that looked like the remains of a building. Only then did archaeologists confirm that the object is an architectural monument of the era of Ancient Rome.

Inspired by this event, the aforementioned Scott Madry of the University of North Carolina in 2006 worked with satellite maps Google Earth discovered about a hundred promising places in the region of Burgundy (France) previously explored by him, belonging to a variety of eras: from bronze age before the Middle Ages. By comparing the location of your finds with the catalog archaeological sites, Scott found that 75 of them are indeed the ruins of ancient buildings.

Not less than loud opening in March 2008 did Lee Berger, a professor at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, who, using a virtual map, discovered unknown graves and caves - habitats of fossil man, and the camp was located 40 kilometers from Johannesburg - a place that is extremely busy today. After equipping the expedition, scientists discovered there two hominid skeletons preserved in good condition dated between 1.78 and 1.95 million years ago. This is how Australopithecus sediba was discovered - a candidate for an intermediate link connecting Australopithecus and Homo.

We also note the success of Brazilian and Finnish researchers in 2009, who, while examining images, saw giant geoglyphs (trenches) of regular square and round shape on the border of Brazil and Bolivia. It is believed that these are the remains of the city of El Dorado, where countless treasures are buried. From a satellite, it looks like a series of geometric figures carved into the ground, but the archaeologists and historians who published the report believe that these are the remains of roads, bridges, ditches, streets and squares of a certain city with a population of up to 60 thousand people. The ruins date from 200-1283 AD.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of virtual archeology. Fantastic! How can you dig Troy without leaving your office? Nevertheless, the list of discoveries of virtual archeology is growing every year.

ARCHEOLOGY OF PROGRESS

The term "virtual archeology" was first used in 1990. The scientist from Paul Reilly, the creator of this unusual scientific discipline, explicitly stated that its tasks include the use of computer technology to create high-quality images, as well as the promotion of archaeological research.

A quarter of a century has passed since then. During this time, virtual archeology has gained unprecedented popularity around the world. In St. Petersburg, and not just anywhere, but in the Hermitage itself, for the second year in a row, the International Conference on Virtual Archeology is being held, at which specialists share their experience in computer reconstruction of archaeological sites and historical events, discuss the ability of 3D printers to recreate antique artifacts, and discuss the creation of virtual museums.

If just a couple of decades ago, in order to confirm or refute a scientific hypothesis, you had to travel to the place of a possible discovery, now sometimes it’s enough just to click on the computer screen with the mouse. The interactive map will show you in detail Right place on the globe and enlarge the image to the required size. And then the matter is small: analyze the data obtained and, if they fit into the theory being tested, go to the place to carry out field work.

THE COLLAPSE OF INDIANA JONES

As you know, the most outstanding archaeologist of all times and peoples is the fearless Indiana Jones, who, risking his life, repeatedly went on dangerous journeys in search of ancient artifacts. Today, such heroism is no longer so relevant, because there is, for example, Google Earth - virtual card"Google". This card alone is sometimes enough for a startling scientific discovery.

It was thanks to Google Earth that the term “armchair archaeologist” appeared in 2006. Then the American Scott Madry made several archaeological discoveries without leaving his office. Using just a computer map, the researcher found about 100 prospective excavation sites dating from various eras: from the Bronze Age to the Middle Ages.

TREASURE ISLAND MAP

Perhaps the day is not far off when, thanks to high computer technology there will be no geographical or archaeological secrets left on Earth. Already being compiled today long lists virtual discoveries.

In 2005, the Italian Luca Mori decided, for the sake of simple human interest, using Google to explore the surroundings of his hometown- Parmas. Lazily looking at the computer, Mori unexpectedly discovered unusual artifact oval shape right in a wheat field near the city. without giving him special significance, the disciplined Italian nevertheless informed the employees of the National Archaeological Museum about his observation. His employees, having gone to the site, discovered the remains of an ancient Roman villa and many unique samples of ancient ceramics. The story gained publicity, becoming a classic example in virtual archaeology.

After this discovery, as if from a cornucopia, millions of enthusiasts around the world clung to computer screens in the hope of finding the ruins ancient city with treasures, uninhabited lands and other artifacts.

In 2008, two million year old Australopithecus remains were discovered. The author of the discovery, paleontologist Lee Berger, like Luca Mori, comfortably sitting in an armchair in a cozy office, casually pressed the mouse button, launching Google Earth. South Africa. First of all, the professor was interested in the caves there, which are considered the cradle of mankind. On satellite images, according to signs known to him alone, Berger discovered the entrance to previously unknown caves, ideally suited for the life of primitive people.

Not particularly counting on success, the professor nevertheless organized an amateur expedition to the discovered caves, taking his own nine-year-old son and one of the students as assistants. The result exceeded all expectations: the brave trio discovered more than 50 habitats of Australopithecus, the direct ancestors of man.

During excavations in one of the caves, two perfectly preserved skeletons of a woman and a teenager were found, whose age is estimated at 1.78-1.95 million years! The find is all the more interesting because it was two million years ago, according to scientists, that primates began to walk on two legs and use tools for hunting and labor. Around the same time, they began to form the rudiments of speech.

In the same 2008, a major geographical discovery of virtual archeology took place. British scientist Julian Beilis, studying satellite photographs, discovered a previously unknown tropical forest located in remote mountains. After the very first expedition equipped in " lost World» on Mount Mabu, biologists have discovered more than 100 new species of plants, flowers, butterflies, monkeys and snakes. The study of the mysterious forest continues to this day, and the researchers jokingly nicknamed it the Google Forest.

It must be said that 2008 turned out to be a particularly fruitful year for discoveries of virtual archeology. Combining Google Earth images of the territory with infrared photography, scientists clutched their heads. Under a layer of soil just a kilometer from the famous drawings of the Nazca plateau, several ancient pyramids have been discovered!

In 2009, Brazilian scientists saw previously unknown geoglyphs on the border of and on computer images. Geometric figures turned out to be the remains of an ancient city with a population of 60,000 people. The find dates back to 200-1283 AD, and a number of researchers associate it with the famous golden city of Eldorado.

Since then, researchers of the ancient secrets of the planet no longer waste time on the disembodied search for artifacts on the ground, but first compare their versions with satellite images.

In 2011, having decided to study the deserts for ancient artifacts, Australian David Kennedy painstakingly studied satellite imagery. In the images, the scientist identified more than 2,000 places in which ancient objects covered with sand were visible. The field test yielded stunning results. Stone wheels, bird traps, ancient tombs and more have been found. Moreover, most of the artifacts are over 9,000 years old!

STONEHENGE VIRTUALLY DISCOVERED

Of the latest sensational discoveries of virtual archeology, undoubtedly, the study of the basement floor of the famous Stonehenge stands out. Based on the results of virtual excavations carried out by scientists from the UK and, several new hypotheses were put forward at once.

During their research, scientists using radar and magnetometers with GPS navigation scanned the entire territory of the complex - more than 10 square kilometers. Through laborious work, they compiled a three-dimensional map of the archaeological site. On it, the researchers were surprised to find several underground objects that were not previously identified. These instruments clearly indicated the existence of underground structures and even ditches covered with earth. It only remained to take a shovel and dig out the sensation of the century. Special interest scientists called two parallel moats that existed before the construction of Stonehenge and associated with the summer solstice.

Inspired by the success, the researchers immediately set out to conduct virtual excavations throughout Europe.

Unfortunately, during the preparation of this material, the author could not find significant discoveries in the field of archeology, geography or botany made by domestic virtual archaeologists on the territory. Meanwhile, in the vast expanses of our Motherland, there were many ancient civilizations that were not inferior in age and development to the civilizations of Mesopotamia! So isn't it time for our readers, armed with computers and interactive maps of the Internet, to make archaeological and geographical discoveries century? Secrets are waiting for you!

Scientists from the Institute of Archeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences have developed and launched the geoinformation system "Archaeological Monuments of Russia" - the first national-scale electronic archaeological map in our country, which contains data on more than 15,000 objects. ...Scientists have developed a standard for describing an archaeological site (it includes the name of an object, type, chronological attribution, belonging to a river / sea basin, microrelief features, geographical coordinates and study information).

The Russian Institute of Archeology developed a special map showing the locations of 15,000 excavations. ... All of these cultural heritage sites are located on the territory of Russia. An electronic map of archaeological sites has been created in Russia, which has collected information about 15,000 heritage sites. The press service of the Institute of Archeology reported about the unique database of historical objects Russian Academy Sciences.

The archives of the institute contain information about 133 thousand objects that archaeologists have studied since 1945. Specialists from the Institute of Archeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences have created a unique electronic file containing information about 15 thousand archaeological sites Russia. ... Gradually, scientists will replenish the map with new discoveries, since the institute's archives contain information about 133,000 objects that archaeologists have explored since 1945. Russia has created a database of archeological excavations ... According to the director of the Institute of Archeology, Nikolai Makarov, new map is a unique opportunity to study Russia in terms of history and its fossil sites.

Scientists from the Institute of Archeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences created Information system, which includes data on more than 15 thousand objects in Russia. Russian scientists created the country's first geoinformation system "Archaeological Monuments of Russia". The press service of the Institute of Archeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences announced the development of the first electronic archaeological map, which included data on more than 15,000 objects in Russia. "To date, information about the monuments explored from 2009 to 2012 has been loaded into the database, which forms the basis of the archaeological map, - this is information about 15,367 archaeological heritage sites," the report says.

The map, according to the idea of ​​archaeologists, shows the country from all sides, including areas that are yet to be explored. ...Formerly IA " People's News”reported that archaeologists have found a cemetery city in Egypt that is more than seven thousand years old.
