Abstract
The article analyzes the development of the Tomsk Archaeological School aft er its leader V. I. Matyushchenko moved to Omsk in 1976. Th e authors focus on the role of L. A. Chindina, who headed the school in the second half of the 1970s, highlighting her contribution to the development of the problems of West Siberian archaeology in the Early Iron Age and the Early Middle Ages. Having created an original concept of cultural and historical development in Western Siberia, the researcher promoted it as a specifi c research programme for her disciples. Th e authority of the Tomsk school was consolidated through holding the regular West Siberian archaeological and ethnographic meetings/ conferences in 1978–1990s as well as by establishing the Department of Archaeology and Local History at Tomsk State University (TSU) in 1991. The paper identifies some features of the development of the archaeological school at TSU.
