In 2020, the conference celebrates its 50th anniversary.

Since the 1970s the Conference has been  comprehensive and unites not only archaeologists and ethnographers, but anthropologists and linguists. Conference meetings are general, not divided into sections. An objective basis for the joint work of specialists in all areas is the inclusion of research in the historical context.

 

The directions of the conference work are:

1. Methodological problems of areal research in Western Siberia and adjacent territories

2. Ethnic and cultural specificity and interaction as a text and context of a transcultural space: an interdisciplinary discourse
