Summary

Research on cult monuments in Saryarka reveals significant archaeological insights into the Golden Horde era, particularly focusing on mausoleums and settlements along key caravan routes. The study identifies a dense network of these structures, spaced 5 to 20 km apart, indicating the presence of medieval towns and settlements, notably along the Sarysu tract. The research spans three phases: pre-revolutionary descriptions by travelers, mid-20th century surveys led by A.Kh. Margulan, and modern archaeological expeditions involving multiple institutions. These findings highlight the region's historical significance during the early spread of Islam and provide a comprehensive overview of its memorial architecture.
