THE GOLDEN HORDE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES IN THE PENZA REGION (MAPING EXPERIENCE)

Abstract

The paper deals with the study of the Golden Horde sites in the Penza region and their mapping – not just the territorial analysis of archaeological sites, using maps, but also their study. Despite the close attention to the sites of the XIII–XIV centuries, little is known about them and the experience of archaeological mapping in the Penza region. In the XIX and XX centuries, archaeological studies in the region were carried out by V.M. Teryokhin, A.A. Krotkov, N.I. Sprygina, A.A. Spitsin, A.Ye. Alikhova, M.R. Polesskikh, V.I. Lebedev, V.I. Pervushkin, Ya.B. Belyaev, V.N. Shitov, G.N. Belorybkin. The last one carries out excavations on the Narovchat settlement. At the beginning of the XXI century, archaeological studies were and are being carried out by V.A. Vinnichek, V.P. Lebedev, T.V. Osipova and others. The prospects for the development of monuments were considered by G.N. Belorybkin, Yu.A. Zeleneyev, V.V. Stavitsky, A.G. Sitdikov. The research results were published in articles, monographs, and exhibited in museums in Penza and regional centers. The plans include the museumification of archaeological sites in architectural structures in the city of Narovchat, village of Zolotaryovka and others.
