DULSON READINGS 2000XXII-nd Annual Conference Prehistory. The Tomsk State Pedagogical University has long played a leading role in working out the linguistic aspect of the problem of the origin of the indigenous peoples of Siberia and their languages. This work was begun by Professor A.P. Dulson, the State Prize Laureate (1900-1973). In 1947 he developed a plan to study indigenous peoples and their languages. His idea was to study and describe not only the languages of these peoples, but their history, culture, ethnography and archaeology as well. Simply by using all aspects of the available data, he was able to resolve the most fundamental questions concerning the origins of Siberian peoples and their languages. He was the first organizer of conferences dedicated to this problem which were held in Tomsk. The school of linguistics founded by Dulson has continued his efforts in Siberian languages. After his death the conferences concerning the origin of indigenous peoples of Siberia and their languages were resumed and held annually or every two or three years.
