Abstract

The subject of the study is the national architecture of the wooden architecture of the Yan Yakuts, which were studied during the organization and conduct of local history research expeditions of schoolchildren under the project "Along the paths of ancestors". The article describes the content of the work of local history school expeditions that were carried out in the Verkhoyansky district of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) to fix wooden architecture, the methodology of the expedition, the history of the material traditional culture of the Yansk Yakuts. The purpose of the article is to familiarize with the uniqueness of the national architecture of the Yan Yakuts. The methods of studying the national architecture of wooden architecture in the conditions of local history school expeditions are field research, photofixation of wooden architecture, architectural measurements, sketching on the preserved remains of summer and winter estates. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that the wooden architectures of antiquity are becoming relevant for the preservation as an ethnic cultural heritage, as an understanding of the preservation of ethnic components in modern society. Thus, the description and reconstruction of the traditional dwellings of the Yan Yakuts is not only the preservation of national architecture, but also the revival of ethnic and cultural traditions of the Yakuts as a whole in the era of globalization. Local history research expeditions of schoolchildren play an important role in the study of the small homeland. It is these forms of organizing local history expeditions that personally bring modern students closer to the history of their ancestors, their way of life.
