Analytical Klironomy

A klironomical science for understanding society’s knowledge of cultural heritage significance.

Analytical Klironomy

Analytical Klironomy is a klironomical science developing the theoretical foundations of klironomical analysis in the knowledge of human evolution regarding the understanding of cultural heritage preservation.

Analytical Klironomy is an independent science of Theoretical Klironomy direction in the system of the klironomical sciences.

  1. Statistics is a science, setting out the general issues of collection, measurement, monitoring and analysis of mass statistical (quantitative or qualitative) data, the study of the quantitative side of mass phenomena in numerical form, or a branch of mathematics dealing with data collection, organisation, analysis, interpretation and presentation.
  2. History is the humanitarian science, engaged in studying the person (his activity, condition, worldview, social communications, etc.) in the past; in other words, the science studying various sources about the past to establish the sequence of events, the objectivity of the described facts and to draw conclusions about the reasons of events.
  3. Archaeology is a historical science that studies the past of mankind from real sources or is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of tangible culture.
  4. Cultural anthropology is the science of culture as a set of tangible objects, ideas, values, and behaviours in all forms of its manifestation at all historical stages of its development.
  5. Ethnology is a science that studies ethnic processes, which are understood as various aspects of ethnic groups’ lives, like other ethnic communities, or is the branch of anthropology that compares and analyses the characteristics of different peoples and the relationships between them.
  6. Philology is a set of sciences studying the culture of the people, expressed in language and literary works, or the study of language in oral and written historical sources; it is the intersection between textual criticism, literary criticism, history, and linguistics.

Statistics and analysis are significant components of every science. The formation of statistical data in the klironomy is manifested in the collection of cultural heritage preservation facts expressed in archaeological artefacts, objects, and items of tangible cultural heritage, such as intangible cultural heritage elements. There are the following methods of statistical research: statistical observation, summary and grouping of data, calculation of general indicators (absolute, relative and average values), statistical distributions (variational series), sampling method, factor analysis, analysis of variance, regression analysis, Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient, time series, and indices.

The analysis, which has a wide variety, is based on statistics. Among the types of analysis in klironomical sciences, it is necessary to allocate the following: structural analysis, based on the structuring of the object under study where each structural element is an independent subject of detailed study and characterised by specific parameters; functional analysis, exploring individual klironomical sciences’ operation; internal analysis, used to identify the state of some klironomical science and the methodologies and practices of cultural heritage conservation; comparative analysis, used to compare the state of individual methods and practices in temporal measurement; systematic analysis, involving the continuous study of changes in klironomical research; episodic (point) analysis, based on one-time special research of changes in methods and practices for preserving cultural heritage; dynamic analysis, based on the research of specific indicators in dynamics; comprehensive (systemic) analysis, based on the fact that different methods and practices have one klironomical basis; local (object) analysis, based on the research of individual local objects, cultural heritage items or elements; subject analysis, based on the research of cultural heritage preservation’s specific fragments; quantitative analysis, based on the need to determine the quantitative characteristics in preserving cultural heritage; qualitative analysis, based on qualitative comparative assessments and characteristics of cultural heritage; statistical analysis, based on the research of the characteristics, structure, and relationship of phenomena, trends, and development patterns through mathematical, statistical, economic, and statistical methods.

Consequently, Analytical Klronomy plays a significant role in preserving tangible cultural heritage objects, such as intangible cultural heritage elements, and reconstructing a unified picture of society and nations’ existence at some point in history and temporal changes. Preserving, restoring, renovating, and revitalising cultural heritage is fully worth discovering and investigating in the temporal dimension. Therefore, specialists in some fields are required to be trained in some direction.

Archaeological research, artefacts with cultural value, methods, techniques and other forms of preserving values.

The processes forming society’s attitude to preserving cultural heritage.

The understanding of society’s knowledge of cultural heritage significance correctly.

  1. To conduct statistics of various types of klironomical tangible and intangible cultural heritage.
  2. To perform statistics of various techniques and practices of the klironomy of tangible and intangible cultural heritage.
  3. To analyse the database of types and kinds classification of cultural heritage klironomy.
  4. To analyse the database of methods and practices of cultural heritage klironomy.
  5. To develop new methods of statistical research for preserving cultural heritage by society.
  6. To form a scientific base and conduct scientific and educational activities on the diversity of the principles of preserving cultural heritage, affecting society’s spiritual development.
  1. Creation of a database of all types of tangible and intangible cultural heritage.
  2. Creation of a database of all types of methods and practices for preserving tangible and intangible cultural heritage.
  3. Social awareness of forms and principles of preserving tangible and intangible cultural heritage.
