FROM THE HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY AT KEMEROVO STATE UNIVERSITY (TO THE 70TH BIRTHDAY OF PROF. V. V. BOBROV)

Abstract

The paper examines the development of the Department of Archaeology at Kemerovo State University in 1998 – 2014, under the leadership of Doctor of History, Professor Vladimir V. Bobrov. The period of change and reforming of higher education left an impact on the Department’s development. On the one hand, the period, during which the Department has been headed by Professor Vladimir V. Bobrov, saw the peak of its potential development both in terms of quality and in quantitative composition, on the other hand, it witnessed the process of cutting down on the number of teaching staff and decrease in student recruitment in general and Archeology students in particular. Under Prof. Bobrov the formation of Kemerovo Scientific Archaeological School was completed.
