This should be treated according to WP:FRINGE as it is a smaller school of archaeology whose theories are mostly discounted. Don't have a source on me atm though. =/ Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie Say Shalom! 23:34, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
While Marx and Engels do not prescribe a methodology as to how specifically Marxist archaeologists should work, they do deal with ancient and protohistory and even with the stone age (the latter especially in relation to Urkommunismus and how it ended), and their theses on historical materialism and dialectical materialism do contain scientific methodologies on how all science should be practiced, also as to how history should be studied and researched. And if I read Dialectic of Enlightenment and especially Marcuse's Eros and Civilization correctly, based upon 19th century scholars such as Theodor Benfey, Victor Hehn, and Otto Schrader (philologist), Marx and Engels even dealt with the Pontic Steppes theory (which we know as the Kurgan hypothesis today) as the reason for the end of Urkommunismus and as part of their genesis of the Capitalist West.
As such, you don't specifically require Lenin, Marxism-Leninism, and the Soviet Union to follow Marxist methodologies and practices in the sciences, including the study and research of history. -- 2003:DA:CF4C:7500:352E:684:3B03:54E3 ( talk) 19:52, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
