ABSTRACT. The article considers the formation of the industrial landscape on the territory of the Ural region. The Urals’ modern industrial landscapes are a clear reflection of the centuries-old activity of the Russian state in peopling and developing this area. However, to date, many destroyed industrial monuments have not become the objects of archaeological research and inventory, since they are not recognized as archaeological, and there are no appropriate methods for their search and study. Furthermore, they cannot be identified and described by specialists from other fields of science. There is an opinion that written information is capable of completely independently and fully covering the historical period, but while working with documents it becomes obvious that these sources cannot always replace archaeological research. In domestic textbooks, educational and methodological manuals on archaeology, no attention is paid to the study of the written era sites, and there are no methods for complex historical and archaeological research. The purpose of this work is to analyze the accumulated experience and formulate recommendations for the search, excavation and reconstruction of destroyed industrial monuments of the 17th – 18th centuries. Survey based on data from the written sources makes it possible to identify the location of the site, excavations – to replenish information about the layout, technical equipment of the enterprise. The complex of sources allows creating an animated model of the enterprise using a computer. It is noted that there are significant differences in the methods of search, excavation and reconstruction of sites of the historical period from traditional research procedures.

ABSTRACT. Studies of the faience industry of the second half of the 19th century are continuing in the Kirov region. During the 2020–2021 period, the Kazarinovs factory was discovered, it was also taken under state protection and its systematic study began. This is one of the first archaeological works in Russia on such a monument of industrial archeology. The obtained collection allows drawing conclusions about the product range and its decor, as well as about the technological features of production. It was found that unlike, for example, many others entrepreneurs, the Kazarinovs did not produce a wide range of products. The small number of labels made it possible to assume that the Kazarinovs did not put labels on all their products and therefore the products of local factories can be stored in museum collections, but their attribution due to the absence of labels is not possible. The findings of saggers and sagger triangular pins made it possible to clarify the firing process and more fully describe the production of earthenware.
