The paper deals with archaeological findings on the territory of the Penza Governorate in the 19th - beginning of 20th centuries based on the materials of the State Archive of the Penza Region. To compare the information obtained with the published data, the study used published sources such as: the Reports of the Imperial Archaeological Commission, the description of antiquities of the Governorate (A.A. Spitsyn, 1925) and other sources. The process of archaeological study of the Penza Governorate in the pre-revolutionary period depended on the activities of the provincial statistical committee, the provincial scientific archival commission, independent researchers and the provincial administration. As a result a set of archaeological discoveries made on the territory of the Penza Governorate in the 19th - beginning 20th centuries was drawn up. The list of findings includes facts of the discovery revealed in the research of archaeological sites and individual artifacts with indication of detection time, place and composition of the find or treasure. According to the research, in the 19th - early 20th centuries, 148 evidence of found antiquities were revealed. Coins, Stone Age tools, jewelry and other items had different destinies: they remained in the hands of the finders, were sold, melted down, settled in scientific organizations and museums of St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Penza. In most cases, the treasures were returned to the finders, and less often they were transferred to the metropolitan museums and given a reward for them. The issues raised in the paper are inextricably linked with the problem of accounting and protection of archaeological monuments and preservation of cultural heritage.

The activity of state statistics throughout the revolutionary period of 1917 is uncharted territory in the history of Russian statistics. Using documents from the State Archive of the Russian Federation, the authors examined for the first time the last year of the Central Statistical Committee. Unlike other state structures of the previous government, it was not dissolved after the events of October 1917 and continued to operate after the Soviet government moved to Moscow. The article contains information on the first «Soviet» Head of the Central Statistical Committee of the Commissariat of Internal Affairs V.A. Algasov and outlines the work of Professor M.A. Sirinov, who was offered a position of the Head of the Central Statistical Committee by the People’s Commissar of Internal Affairs G.I. Petrovsky. Archive records helped establish the fact that both the authorities of the Central Statistical Committee and some statisticians came up with an idea of founding a new statistical service based on the Central Statistical Committee and gubernia (provincial) statistics. The authors revealed the role of V.V. Stepanov in relocating the Library of the Central Statistical Committee to Moscow. The article describes the clash of opinions that preceded the establishment of the Soviet state statistics, to be specific the inauguration of the RSFSR Central Statistical Board, which was envisaged to be an independent body, not subordinate to any agency, to ensure the independence of the country’s statistical service.

Before turning to a systematic description of the archaeological sites of the Columbia-Fraser region, it will be well to review briefly the main sources of information. It may then be possible to bring together various of the sites and, with considerable tentativeness to be sure, associate them according to the cultural phases they represent. Some framework for the prehistory of the region may thus be obtained.Judge Wickersham's early data for western Washington led him to believe that it was a poor region “for the development of the Stone Age,” and that the Indian “made his implements of bone, shell, or wood, and these soon decayed.” He goes on, however, to mention mauls, adz blades, clubs, and pipes of polished stone, in addition to chipped points among which “ … local forms are rare, but so distinct in character from others, which are so clearly traced to eastern Washington, as to admit of but little doubt as to their local origin.” He apparently thought the archaeological materials were closely related to the objects used by living Indians. Ties between the peoples east and west of the Cascades were obvious on the ethnological level and Wickersham was, consequently, not surprised to find arrow points on the Sound which were reminiscent of the eastern section of the state.

Presenting new documents to the scholarly society is important for studying the history and heritage of Russian America. The authors pay special attention to the fonds of regional archives, as their unique documents expand our knowledge of already known subjects and elaborate the historical and cultural heritage of Russian America. The State Archive of the Kostroma Region stores papers of local ethnographers, who meticulously collected materials on the history and heritage of the Russian colonial past. These documents have rarely being studied and remain unknown to researchers. The purpose of the article is to study the fonds of the State Archive of the Kostroma Region in order to identify new documents on the history of the Russian colonization of Alaska, as well as documents on the historical and cultural heritage of Russia in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean. The object of the research is document collection deposited in the State Archive of the Kostroma Region. The collection consists of hundreds of documents related to the history of the development of the Far East and Russian America and can provide a basis for preparing scholarly articles on a wide range of issues, such as the history of Russo-Chinese and Russo-Japanese relations, the interaction of the Russians and indigenous peoples of Siberia and Alaska, the transfer of Alaska to the USA, the financial and economic development of the Russian -American company and its joint-stock. Documents from N. N. Selifontov personal provenance fond shed light on the interactions of the Russian-American company with various government agencies during the sale of Alaska to the United States. Of particular value are N. N. Selifontov’s marginalia touching upon certain events in the history of Russian America, as well as his hand-written papers containing his personal opinion on the interaction of the Irkutsk governor-general with the royal court. The corpus of documents from Grigorov collection is vital for studying the early Russian exploration of the Aleutian Islands and Alaska and for preserving the memory of exploration of Alaska in various Russia towns.

A região de Palestina de Goiás, localizada no Sudoeste do Estado de Goiás, abrange cerca de 42 sítios arqueológicos registrados, sendo 28 com pinturas rupestres. Esse patrimônio cultural vem sofrendo degradação por vários fatores, e um deles é a bioturbação por cupins. Diante da importância de levantar dados que subsidiem ações de proteção e preservação da arte rupestre nessa região, o objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar a presença de cupins e suas ações nos sítios arqueológicos com pinturas. A Bioturbação por cupins foi confirmada nos seis sítios e representam uma ameaça para as pinturas rupestres. Nasutitermes foi o gênero mais frequente (59%). Os resultados subsidiam futuros estudos de monitoramento e ações de conservação em sítios arqueológicos com este tipo de ameaça.BIOTURBATION BY TERMITES (BLATTODEA, ISOPTERA) IN ROCK-ART SITES IN THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL REGION OF CAIAPÔNIA, CENTRAL BRAZILABSTRACTThe Palestine region of Goiás, located in the southwest of the state of Goiás, has about 42 registered archaeological sites, 28 of them with cave paintings. This cultural heritage has been degraded by several factors, and one of them is the presence of termites. Given the importance of protection and preservation of rock art in this region, a study was proposed to identify the presence of termites and their actions in archaeological sites with paintings. Of the 42 sites, six were visited. Termite Bioturbation was confirmed at the six sites, posing a threat to cave paintings. Nasutitermes was the most frequent genera (59%). The results support future studies of monitoring and conservation actions in archaeological sites with this type of threat. Keywords: Caiaponia; Bioturbation; Termites

The article deals with the primary legal framework laid down by Emperor Peter I, which determined the order of conducting and streamlining the archival business in tsarist Russia and in Siberia. The author provides the first documentary mentions of the Irkutsk provincial archive as a repository of documents are indicated. Besides it, the legal acts defining the legal basis of the state archival business in Russia and changes in the status of archival bodies and the state archive of the Irkutsk region to the present time are investigated in the article. Moreover, the main indicators of the Department of use of documents and work with citizens and organizations of the state archive of the Irkutsk region were studied, the demand for documents in state storage in the state archive of the Irkutsk region was analyzed, and dysfunctions in the provision of retrospective information by the archive were revealed for the period from 2013 to 2017. The conclusion is made about the need to use remote access services to view documents of the state archive of the Irkutsk region of the pre-revolutionary period. The prospect of introduction of remote access services on a paid basis for users of the information of the state archive of the Irkutsk region is considered and the necessary material and technical conditions for the provision of services at the appropriate level to meet the needs of the information society of the Russian Federation are determined.

Legal Sense

The article studies documents from the State Archive of the Orel Region (GAOO) as an important source for studying the sense of justice of the Oryol gubernia peasants in early 20th century. Introduction of new archival materials allows to flesh out our knowledge and to produce a true-to-life picture of the Oryol peasants’ way of life. The peasant origins of the majority of the population necessitate a comprehensive study of peasant legal consciousness. Historical legacy is pertinent to present day, and forgetting its lessons is fraught with consequences. Evolution of modern Russian statehood hedges on its historical and legal traditions. The article studies documents in the fonds of public authorities, police, gendarmerie, courts, and prosecution offices. Introduction of new materials of public authorities, police, gendarmerie, courts, and prosecution offices into the scholarship promotes the analysis of the evolution of peasant legal sense in early 20th century. The chronological framework of the article is limited to the period from 1900 to 1917, its territorial framework is limited to the Oryol gubernia in its pre-revolutionary borders. The article studies reports, dispatches, and circular letters using the comparative method. The intensification of peasant protest was incidental to the first Russian revolution of 1905-1907 – the peasants hoped to force the government to settle the agrarian question, wherein lay the crux of their interests. As peasants of the Oryol gubernia suffered from shortage of arable land, antimonarchical sentiments gained momentum and translated a growing number of trials for contempt of the Emperor. Illegal literature spreading among the peasants, further radicalized them, and the authorities grew more and more hesitant in their assessment of peasant loyalty, which is quite intelligible in the archival documents. Thus, the use of new archival documents in addition to published materials promotes the scholarship on the peasant legal sense.
