Science - Archaeology / Stone tools | | Russian term or phrase: проблемно-установочная процедура | This part of the text is comparing methods of studying the stone age in Russia and the USA. The first paragraph below includes the phrase in question and the one that follows it is for context.
Если американский археолог, воспитанный в духе общей антропологии, скорее склонен к проблемно-установочной процедуре, заимствованной из естественных наук, то иначе обстоит дело в России.
Здесь в качестве исходного пункта и мотива для проведения исследования выступает по большей части сама стоянка или территория, подлежащая обследованию. |
