His field studies were distinguished by diligence, attention to detail, fixation, and the quality of the discovered monuments processing and individual artifacts. In 1925 there was published an important methodological publication of the researcher “Archaeological sources, methods of their registration and means of protection.” In his daily archaeological work, S.
