Abstract: The author dedicates this memorial article to her mother – Nataliya Vadimovna Ryndina. The article describes three memories from the time when N. V.

The author shares her first impressions of her mother’s unusual profession and of that profession’s attributes. She also recounts how N. V. Ryndina prepared for her lectures and of the family’s life in Moscow during winter and at their dacha during summer vacations. The author describes her childhood impressions of the university and her first visit to the Section of Archaeology. The author recalls trips to Moldavia and Ukraine, where N. V.
