History research of the settled culture of Saryarka in the XIII-XIV (XV) centuries

Research on the medieval settled culture of Saryarka, particularly during the 13th to 15th centuries, reveals a significant evolution in urban planning and architectural practices. The study identifies three distinct periods in the exploration of this culture: the mid-20th century expeditions led by A.Kh. Margulan, which focused on the nomadic region of Dasht-i Kypchak; subsequent studies by Zh.E. Smailov's team; and modern large-scale excavations that have uncovered numerous brick mausoleums adorned with glazed tiles and majolica featuring intricate floral and geometric designs. Architectural analysis dates these structures to the 14th-15th centuries, indicating a flourishing urban culture in Kazakhstan during this period. This research highlights the advanced architectural techniques and cultural development of the Golden Horde era.
