The concept of “archaeological culture” presents a substantive framework of historical-scientific and historiographical knowledge in archaeology. In the 1920s, S. A. Teploukhov, having created the first classification of archaeological cultures ofSiberia, established the basic criteria for determining those: typological similarity of an archaeological complex, unity of archaeological sites in time and space. Researchers who shared paleoethnological approach (B. E. Petri, S. A. Teploukhov, S. I. Rudenko, M. P. Griaznov, V. N. Chernetsov) understood archaeological culture primarily as material culture dominant in a particular territory in a particular period.
