The many faces of Richard Indreko (original) (raw)
2013, Man, his time, artefacts, and places: collection of articles dedicated to Richard Indreko. Muinasaja Teadus, 19. Eds Johanson, K. & Tõrv, M.
In February 2010 the 110th anniversary of Richard Indreko’s birth was celebrated, and by March of next year 50 years passed since his death. In 2006 Indreko’s personal archive was opened publicly to researchers at the University of Tartu Library. The archive contains his personal and professional letters, article manuscripts, speech drafts, notes and drawings for lectures. This opened up an opportunity to get a brief look at the life and activities of one of the most well-known, perhaps one of the most hard-working, and possibly one of the most brilliant, but certainly one of the most conscientious archaeologists in Estonia.

From the first people to idols and figurines: Richard Indreko as a scientist
Man, his time, artefacts, and places: collection of articles dedicated to Richard Indreko. Muinasaja teadus, 19. Eds Johanson, K. & Tõrv, M., 2013
The present article is a continuation to the previous writing that concentrated on Richard Indreko’s life (see Johanson & Tõrv, current volume), and treats predominantly Indreko’s scientific production, starting with the articles on single phenomena and artefacts written during his days in Tartu until the last, wide-scope treatments during his exile that were at least planned to consist of several volumes. In the present article Indreko’s views on Mesolithic settlement, burial sites, idols and figurines, as well as the initial home of the Finno-Ugrians are presented, his popular scientific treatments are observed, and manuscripts that were never printed but are currently preserved in his personal archive (TÜR KHO, 150) are introduced.
