Summary
A comprehensive interdisciplinary study of the Bolgar Historical and Archaeological Complex was conducted through the 8th International Scientific Conference held in 2018. The research focused on the dialogue between urban and steppe cultures within the Eurasian space, particularly examining the Mongol Empire and Golden Horde's influence on material culture and technological advancements. A key aspect of the study involved a systematic analysis of Bolgar settlement, supported by the Bolgar Archaeological Expedition, which delved into the continuity of medieval cultural traditions and the establishment patterns of urban settlements in steppe Eurasia. The findings were part of a broader project investigating the ancient towns of Bolgar and Sviyazhsk from 2010 to 2018, providing significant insights into the historical geography and topographical characteristics of these regions.
