Abstract

The research activities of the Institute were carried out in four fundamental and three applied fields. Significant territories of the Republic of Tatarstan were studied to identify cultural heritage sites in 2021. In the framework of the implementation of the state program of the Republic of Tatarstan “Preservation of the National Identity of the Tatar people (2020–2024)”, work was carried out in the Astrakhan, Volgograd, Ryazan and Saratov Oblasts, and the Republic of Kalmykia. In addition to studies in the Russian Federation, two reconnaissance field trips were made by the Central Asian team of the Institute to the hillforts of the Chüy Valley in the Kyrgyz Republic. The Institute annually publishes two academic peer-reviewed journals: The Volga River Region Archaeology and Archaeology of the Eurasian Steppes. The defenses of theses at the Thesis Board under the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan in the field of History and Archaeology were important events in 2021.
