description Purpose. The article is devoted to analysis of material culture as space of human existence. The subject of the analysis is a system of human relations with space of material culture. The author aims to reveal essence of a man as a biosocial being through analysis of a structure of material culture and its place in a cultural system as a whole. Methodology. The research is based on a principle of system analysis, culturological and cultural anthropological approaches, as well as on typologization and analysis of written sources methods. Results. The results of the work are that the author considers material culture as consisting of a number of groups of elements, both external to a human (things, technics, technologies), and a human oneself through one`s physicality and body technologies (physical culture). A position of these elements in a coordinate system “universal – regional (general) – specific” is analysed. Practical implications. Results of the study can be applied in fields of human socialization and enculturation, analysis of cross-cultural interactions.
