Within the framework of the current archaeological season, specialists from Ugra are completing a major project dedicated to the study of the historical urbanism of Russian cities in the north of Siberia. The main attention is paid to the ancient town of Beryozov, one of the oldest Russian settlements in Yugra and in the Siberian north.

According to Ksenia Ermakova, a researcher at the Centre of Ugra Archaeology and Ethnography, the main task of the project is to explore the territories based on the data of archaeological excavations.

According to a report by District broadcaster “Ugra,” a partner of TV BRICS, the project will result in the creation of 3D models of the Kremlin and manor houses. In the future, the plan includes conducting historical reconstructions within the urban environment.

In addition, Yugra archaeologists continue to study the monuments of the Kayukovo culture. This year they focused on the study of new sites – settlements Kayukovo 3 and Kayukovo 4, located next to the previously studied Kayukovo 1 and Kayukovo 2. These monuments are partially submerged in the swamps of the Demian-Vasyugan system, which makes their study particularly challenging.
