Exposition «Development of an
archaeological science at the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) of

The modern archaeological science is advanced branch of
historical knowledge and at the same time represents considerable
interest for other sciences. Data of archeology and the found objects
are used with a view of bringing up of a domestic historical and
cultural heritage. Archaeological materials are the most valuable
sources for paleobiology, anthropology, ethnography and art knowledge.
They are established at the corresponding sections of expositions of
many museums in the territory of Belarus. Thanks to archeologists are
created unique museum- pieces and archaeological objects. With their
help are carrying out the restoration of monuments of medieval
architecture and that promotes tourism development in Belarus.
The Belarusian archeology is adequately presented at various
international scientific forums, including on the congresses
International Union of Slavic archeology. Work of corresponding chairs
of High Schools of the Republic and departments of museums and reserves

measures for protection of historical and cultural values are extended
and amplified.
The exposition reflects the history of formation of an
archaeological science in Belarus and its development within the limits
of the Belarusian Academy from its beginning and till nowadays; which
represents the structure of archaeological subsections and their place
in the academic establishments, perfection of a technique of
researches, creation and development of scientific branches, scientific
achievements of the Belarusian archeologists and their professional
growth; international contacts of the Belarusian archaeological science
and experts, professional training of archaeological personnel in the
Republic.
The exposition problem consists in complex representation of
the scientific and training information with an accent on advanced
achievements, illustrations of perfection of a technique of
archaeological researches. Considering the specificity of the
exposition named above, the achievements of Belarusian archeology will
be reflected by means of cultures and monuments and also through the
personal contribution of researchers into the development of a science
and studying of an object of researches. The materials of an exposition
or its separate sections can be used for the preparation of general or

major achievements of archeologists. Pictorial demonstration of objects
and the information (maps, models, samples, show-windows, panels, video
clips, etc.).
-
Carrying out of thematic
lectures and seminars with the post-graduates and the students
specializing in a field of "archeology" with the representation of all

scientists in the exposition hall and providing of access to the
scientific funds (according to the instruction).
-
The organization of excursions
for students of High Schools, employees, reception of the scientific
foreign delegations arriving for participation in scientific
conferences, anniversary celebrations, popularization of a domestic

-
Carrying out of

centuries); sections 4 and 5 represent the development of archeology of
the medieval period (VI-XIII and XIV-XVIII centuries); section 6 is
devoted to a problem of training of scientific personnel on archeology
through postgraduate study and doctoral studies, there also presence
periodically updated exhibition with the information on the most
interesting results of archeological work in the last field season and
the newest publications also is provided.
The
theme
of
each
section
will
be
represented
through documents, printed
