Abstract
The Anthropology Cabinet, founded by A.R. Kim in 1988 and located within the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography of Altai Altai State University (ASU), has a large collection, which now numbers more than 2,000 items. At present it is the second cabinet in Siberia by the number of available collections and by its importance after the Cabinet of Anthropology of Tomsk State University (established in 1889). The opening of the Anthropology Cabinet at ASU gave impetus to the development of a new scientific direction by such researchers as A.R. Kim, D.V. Pozdnyakov, K.N. Solodovnikov and S.S. Tur, who has been the head of the Cabinet since 1995. Currently, the Museum of Altai Archaeology and Ethnography has become an educational and scientific subdivision of the Institute of History and International Relations of ASU.
