METHODOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF EARLY SOCIETIES ETHNO GENETIC STUDIES

The article deals with theories of "archeological culture" concept, that existed in soviet and post soviet times, as well as with the possible interactions between archeological culture and ethno genetic development. When discussing the ethno genetic development of early societies, there is a lack of objective and trustworthy sources. To the imperfection of linguistic and biological investigations there add up also the objective peculiarities of archeological material. First of all let’s mention the existing significant time discrepancy, the “twin barrier” that disrupts the analyses of archeological sources, and the delimited nature of archeological material. It’s also important to avoid undue modernization of early period's history. One has to keep in mind these considerations when making a conclusion.
