Laboratory of Natural Science Methods in Archaeology
The first attempts at broadly and comprehensively applying methods from the natural and technical sciences to the study of archaeological material at the Institute of Archaeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (then the Institute of the History of Material Culture of the USSR Academy of Sciences) date back to 1959–1960. B.A. Kolchin was the initiator and active organizer of these progressive scientific fields.
In 1960, the so-called offices (groups) of dendrochronology, spectral analysis, metallography, petrography, archaeomagnetic method, palynology, and archaeozoology were formed and began functioning; however, until 1967, all of these groups were formally part of the laboratory for office processing.
In 1967, the laboratory of natural science methods was separated into a separate scientific division of the Institute. B.A. Kolchin was appointed the first director of the laboratory at that time, and he held this position until his death in early 1984. Sin
