Abstract

The author analyses the results of the integration of archaeology sites into the modem sociocultural city environment. The peculiarities of the development of archaeological field schools until the beginning of the 21st century are highlighted, and the reasons that changed the state policy in terms of the involvement of the youth in archaeological and historical activities are outlined. The reasons for the prospects of conducting ar­chaeological field youth schools in the historical city are described. The forms and methods of popularization of archaeological sites, pedagogical and special scientific technologies for revealing the historical and cultural information potential of archaeological antiquities for a youth audience (schoolchildren, students, volunteers), as well as the features of each of the described schools, are given on the basis of the experience of archaeologi­cal field schools in historical cities of Russia.
