Summary/Abstract: The paper compares the methods of manufacturing birchbark products from the burial complexes of the Tomsk region, from the archaeological collection of the M. B. Shatilov Tomsk Regional Museum of local history and from the ethnographic museum collections of birchbark appliances collected in the areas of residence of the southern Selkup in 1912—1992. The authors proposed the way of describing archeological birchbark kitchenware and established general and specific methods of its production. In addition, the authors made preliminary conclusions about possible Chulym-Selkup borrowings of some production techniques distributed in the territory of the Narym Ob and Chulym regions.
