Basic Biographical Information

Vasily Alekseevich Gorodtsov (1860–1945) (Fig. 1) was an outstanding Russian archaeologist. He began the scientific work in the archival committee of Ryazan and Yaroslavl (1889–1899). During this period, Gorodtsov explored Neolithic settlements on the Oka River downs (the right feeder of the Volga River). In 1901, he was given a mission from the Moscow archaeological committee to lead excavations in the South of Russia. Over a period of six months, he excavated 107 barrows in the river Donets Basin (Kharkov Region). During this time, scientific excavation and describing the methodology of burial complexities was invented for the first time.
