In Crimea, said that during the Crimean militia create operational and search the criminal investigation department to combat illegal archaeological excavations.
[SPOILER] Theodosia museum workers expressed mixed views on this initiative. Interfax reports that the new department will identify and neutralization of organized criminal groups that conduct illegal archaeological excavations and these cause significant damage to the state.
Museum workers expressed mixed views on the forthcoming innovation. - And a good thing that has finally taken up this challenge, because the damage is serious. Everything is possible: there is a normative base, you need only the will and funding.
A. Evseev noted that Ukrainian museums can not buy things, obtained illegally, not only because of lack of funds, but also because of the fact that treasure hunters do not report where they found ancient.
Director of Feodosia Money Museum Alexander Oleschuk not expect any drastic changes because now the police will control.
- First of all, you need to change the legislation - is sure A. Oleszczuk. - Needs to be done, as in European countries where the treasure finder is paid a substantial fee, but finding study specialists, and only then put up for auction. However, if the treasure is unique, it is prohibited to export outside the state, and museums have priority in the auction.

A. Evseev noted that Ukrainian museums can not buy things, obtained illegally, not only because of lack of funds, but also because of the fact that the treasure hunters do not report where these antiquities were found.

It would be nice if other than the allocation of funds (in support of archaeological expeditions) Putin would stop this looting. It causes great damage to the historical heritage of Russia .....

Construction in Sochi, to mark the Olympic Games in 2014, was the impetus for archaeologists to start excavations in the Imereti lowland. Soon this place will be covered by new buildings, and scientists use the last opportunity to work.
Earlier Imeretinskaya lowland considered offers little, but as experts found the Institute of Archaeology RAS, people settled here a long time. These places attract people good pastures, fresh water and proximity to the sea. Scientists have already identified 12 archaeological sites, including monuments since the Iron Age and early Christian church.
Archaeological work will be completed in October 2010, after which construction will begin here. A collection of museums in the Caucasian Black Sea region will be enriched with new exhibits.

A good example of government approach to the problems of archeology, not only have to hurry ... October or December, all research and all the finds to a museum.

A thing is unique ... Anyway antique equipment soldiers rarely, especially so on ...

But this is hardly the grand .. he could not be .. First of all, because the helmet mask, which fell and covered his face during the fight ... And judging by the description of the findings, a helmet could not belong to the ordinary soldier ...
