In order to attain this goal the members of the section make some archaeological excavations and ethnographic investigations. At the result of these investigations it was published the monograph in 2 volumes, called "Azerbaijan cultural heritage". The volume of this monograph, written on the basis of archaeological-ethnographic investigations was published in 2 parts. The book, which is enriched by about 200 colorful illustrations and consisted of 900 pages, is publishing at the moment. The main issue of the future activity of the section is to finish the writing of the " Archaeological-ethnographic atlas of Azerbaijan ".There will be explored not only The Azerbaijan Republic, but also the ethno-cultural heritage of the Azerbaijanis living abroad in this work, which is implied in 2 volumes.
