Abstract

The study is devoted to the English explorer of the indigenous peoples of the Yenisei North, Marie Czaplicka, and Henry Hall, who became her companion and anthropologist in the Yenisei (Oxford) expedition. She is a young Polish woman who went to Siberia as the head of the expedition, as a result of which she wrote a valuable book on this topic. Czaplicka became the first woman professor at Oxford University. She worked in London and traveled around Siberia, conducting extensive field research in the era when women were not engaged in scientific research or expeditions at all. She was also an experienced photographer. The personality of Marie Czaplicka is unique. Her works remain relevant. Foreign scientists have turned to her studies for more than a hundred years, but she is little known in modern Russia, though she was born and lived most of her life in the Russian Empire. The authors refer to the personality of Marie Czaplicka and her works. The aim of the work is to determine the significance of the research of the Yenisei expedition. The collections picked up during the expedition are stored in the Museum of Archeology and Anthropology of the University of Pennsylvania and the Pitt Rivers Museum of Ethnography and Archeology and comprise about 600 items of ethnography, archeology and images. The research of M. Czaplicka is a contribution to the ethnography of Siberia
