Journal Title: Матеріали і дослідження з археології Прикарпаття і Волині - Year 2017, Vol 21, Issue
Abstract
In 1947 Mariia Vyazmitina, art historian and archaeologist, defended a thesis “Antiquities of Kushan art in Airtam” and became a candidate of historical sciences. Her thesis was written on a base of two articles following the results of excavations of 1937 where Mariia Vyazmitina was a head of particular brigade. In the beginning defense was planning to be in Kyiv, in Architecture academy, but due to negative report on the thesis by Professor M.B. Baklanov defence was re-located to Middle Asia State University in Tashkent, where then were working friends and colleagues of Mariia Ivanivna. In Scientific Archive of the NASU Institute of Archaeology, in the personal fund of M.I. Vyazmitina, interesting evidences are kept: positive reports on the thesis written by archaeologists M.Ye. Masson and V.A. Shyshkin. Art historian V.M. Zummer, a close friend of M. Vyazmitina, supported her not only with a positive report, but also with recommendations in his letters, which are kept in the personal fund of M. Vyazmitina as well. Moreover, he helped her with all the documents while she was making excavations in Turkmenia. In the conclusion to her thesis Mariia Vyazmitina stressed cultural contacts of Middle Asia with Black Sea region, coming up to problem of Scythian and Sarmathian art. Thus, she tried to combine her “exotical” topic with Ukrainian archaeology.
