Design features of special clothing for archeologists

Abstract

The timeliness and necessity to develop special clothing for the needs of archaeologists as a specialised narrow field of specialists were determined. In this work the consideration of the issue of determining the functional and practical characteristics in addition to artistic and aesthetic features of field and chamber clothing for the needs of archaeologists and museum workers were explored. It was established that the creation of sets of clothing that harmoniously combine utilitarian functions and the Ukrainian cultural code fulfil the needs and demands of a specific consumer segment - professional scientists, field and in-office archaeologists, museum workers, etc. This encourages designers to introduce authentic features that will not only create the right associations in society, but also help to promote, preserve and rethink Ukrainian centuries-old history.
