In his analysis of the development, the tendencies and the state of the excavatory exploration of Spitsbergen the author tries to define the cognitive capabilities of archeology in the investigation of the history of human activity in the area. The appraisal of achievements in the field prompts the author to propose new priorities in the research problems hitherto undertaken by archeologists. Greater emphasis should be put on the examination of the structure and the dynamics of the analysed processes, rather than on the purely historical (event-centered) aspects.}, type={Article}, title={Archeology in the investigation of the history of human activity in the region of Spitsbergen}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/111140/PDF-MASTER/1991-3_391-406.pdf}, keywords={Arctic, Spitsbergen, archeology}, }
