This person is the more important archaeologist of the history, who was introducing the TMarxism Materialism (their philosophy, epistemology and method) into the archaeologist discipline (recent born in his time). Its thank for this men that archaeologist is a science
He is a very controversial and active politic man in a URSS, but they importance for the archeologist and the anthropology in general, is that from Marx`s ideas, he can explain the nature of the social chance. Assuming that the changes in a infrastructure (agriculture development for example) triggers changes in a superstructure (social organization). However, he take distances from Marx because no accept that contradiction of a social class as an instrument of social change.
