Abstract

In the article was attempt to reconstruct the process of formation of the Ural archeology of the late XIX – early XX centuries as a science that requires professional specialization. The features of the development of regional archeology in the Trans-Urals, the establishment of the role and place of this science in the context of the Russian one were identified. The main part of the article will focus on the Kurgan, Tyumen, Chelyabinsk, Sverdlovsk and Kostanay (Kazakhstan) regions, which together make up the modern territory of the Trans-Urals. This choice is due to the difficulty of tracing the boundaries of the territories due to the numerous administrative reforms carried out over the past two centuries. Was given an overview of the role of the first archaeologists and local historians as a determining factor in the activation of scientific societies.
