Research of Cult Monuments of Saryarka in the Era of Ulus Jochi

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.
