archaeology, entomology, dendrochronology, wood damage, xylophages, South Siberia, Scolytinae, Cerambicidae, BuprestidaeAbstract
This article briefly discusses the development of archaeo-entomological research trends in the world. The systematic research of the entomological artifacts in archaeological sites is still not carried out in Russia. The article actualizes the need for studies of entomological systems in the archeological wood, which are completely unexplored hitherto, despite the availability of material for this kind of research. The paper suggests the possible outcomes of the research of xylophages found in archaeological sites.
