4.2 Final Result
Scientific-theoretical and scientific-practical results of the research: As a result of the comprehensive studies conducted, a fundamentally new corpus of scientific data will be obtained, significantly expanding knowledge on the dynamics of historical and cultural processes in the Tengez–Korgalzhyn region and the Nura–Ishim interfluve during the Middle Ages and subsequent periods. For the first time, a holistic picture of the region’s development as an important component of the cultural and historical space of Steppe Eurasia will be formed. The creation of a systematic historiographic and source-based framework, including critically re-evaluated archival and published materials as well as a significant body of previously unintroduced data, will not only substantially improve the level of regional study but also elevate research to a qualitatively new methodological level. This framework will serve as a foundation for further scientific studies and interregional comparisons. During field research, a significant volume of new archaeological data will be identified, recorded, and introduced into scientific circulation, substantially expanding the source base of regional archaeology. The creation of a detailed monument mapping system with high-precision georeferencing will enable spatial analysis, monitoring of site conditions, and effective integration into the system of cultural heritage protection. The research complex will allow a substantial revision of views on the formation and development of urban culture in the northern part of Saryarka. Establishing the system-forming role of nomadic populations in the development of settlement and urban structures will be of fundamental importance for understanding the specifics of steppe urbanization. The reconstruction of caravan routes and localization of key centers will, for the first time, present the region as an important hub of transcontinental communications. Special scientific significance will be gained from the study of the Bitygay settlement and Golden Horde necropolises. These results will deepen understanding of social structure, burial rites, and religious and ritual practices of the population. The implementation of an interdisciplinary approach (including archaeology, geophysics, geodesy, paleoanthropology, and archaeozoology) will ensure a fundamentally new level of data interpretation. For the first time, the region will be considered as an integrated cultural and economic system comprising settlements, necropolises, caravanserais, and infrastructure elements, significantly expanding analytical research possibilities. The inclusion of ethnographic modern-period sites in the analysis will make it possible to trace long-term continuity of cultural traditions and identify stable models of economic and cultural development. Identified interethnic interactions significantly enrich understanding of the region’s cultural dynamics in a long-term historical perspective. Thus, the obtained results will not only significantly expand the source base and deepen knowledge of the region but will also form a new scientific paradigm for its study, ensuring integration into a broader Eurasian context and creating a solid foundation for further fundamental and applied research. Scientific effect The scientific and practical effect of the research lies in obtaining new reliable data enabling the reconstruction of urbanization processes, settlement systems, and transformations of burial practices of the population of the Tengez–Korgalzhyn region and the Nura–Ishim interfluve during the Middle Ages. This includes an expanded source base through the identification and introduction of new archaeological sites; refinement of cultural-chronological characteristics and typology of monuments; reconstruction of caravan routes and localization of urban cultural centers; substantiation of the role of nomadic populations in the formation of urban structures in the steppe zone; and reconstruction of burial rite evolution based on materials from the Bitygay settlement and Golden Horde necropolises. For the first time, the region is considered as an integrated cultural and economic system based on interdisciplinary data. The creation of a GIS-based and cartographic monument database with precise georeferencing will significantly improve monitoring and protection of cultural heritage sites. The conducted work will also provide a scientific basis for developing programs for the preservation and management of archaeological heritage sites. Economic effect The economic effect lies in forming a sustainable basis for the development of the cultural and tourism potential of the region through the identification of a significant number of archaeological and ethnographic sites and the creation of a structured geoinformation database. This ensures effective management and preservation of cultural heritage and enables the selection of the most representative and unique sites for use in the tourism industry. The development of tourist routes based on the obtained data contributes to the growth of domestic and inbound tourism, the formation of new economic activity centers, and increased employment in the service sector. The dissemination of research results through media resources (videos, mass media, social networks) enhances interest in the region and increases its investment attractiveness in the cultural and humanitarian sphere. The enrichment of museum collections with new archaeological and ethnographic materials creates conditions for the modernization of exhibition activities, improvement of museum products, and increased visitor flow, directly contributing to higher revenues for cultural institutions. In addition, the introduction of new materials into scientific circulation stimulates the development of scientific tourism and attracts external funding, including international grants, as well as interest from foreign researchers and specialists, thereby ensuring additional investment inflows into the region. Social effect The social effect of the research is expressed in increasing public interest in the historical and cultural heritage of the region through the identification, study, and popularization of a large number of archaeological and ethnographic monuments. This strengthens historical memory and enhances public identity, fostering a stable connection between society and its cultural past. Engagement of the broader public through publications, museum activities, and digital media ensures accessibility of scientific knowledge beyond the academic sphere. Of particular importance is the impact on younger generations: the research contributes to youth engagement with Kazakhstan’s history, fostering patriotic awareness and respect for cultural heritage. Additionally, the development of cultural and educational routes and museum infrastructure creates conditions for public participation in heritage preservation, strengthens local identity, and promotes community consolidation based on shared historical and cultural values. Target consumers of the results The target consumers of the research results include a wide range of scientific, educational, cultural, and public groups interested in the study, preservation, and promotion of Kazakhstan’s historical and cultural heritage. In the scientific and educational sphere, the results are intended for researchers in archaeology, history, ethnography, and related disciplines; lecturers and students of higher and secondary educational institutions; and developers of educational programs, courses, and methodological complexes in national and world history and archaeology of Kazakhstan. In the cultural heritage management sector: museums and research institutions using the materials to enrich collections and create exhibitions; government bodies and organizations responsible for the protection and monitoring of cultural heritage sites; and specialists in cultural policy and territorial development. In the tourism and economic sector: organizations involved in the development and promotion of tourist routes; representatives of the tourism industry using the results to create cultural and educational products and itineraries. In the public and outreach sphere: a broad audience of history and culture enthusiasts; the general public accessing information through mass media, social networks, popular science publications, and museum exhibitions. Thus, the research results are cross-sectoral in demand and oriented both toward the professional community and the general public, ensuring their effective application in scientific, educational, cultural, and tourism practice. |

4. Expected Results 4.1. Direct results:The ethnographic region of the Kokshetau area will be identified. The relationship between wintering sites (kystau) and ancient settlements will be revealed and studied based on archaeological excavations. Since Kazakh wintering sites are closely connected with settlements of the Early Saka period, Saka-era settlements will be investigated. Saka-period settlements are considered the origins of Kazakh wintering sites and represent a key source of ancient dwelling construction traditions. The types of economic activities and aspects of daily life of Saka-period populations will be determined. Comprehensive ethnographic information on historical figures of the Kokshetau region will be obtained, including the study of clan wintering sites, burial grounds, and stone tombstones. Archaeological excavations of one Kazakh wintering site will be conducted. Issues related to the topographic and planigraphic location of wintering sites will be addressed. Based on the analysis of materials, cultural and economic trends of ancient, medieval, and ethnographic-period monuments will be studied. The historical significance of the Kokshetau region will be determined, showing its development from the Saka period (when early statehood was formed) to the era of nomadic economy. Based on sociological research, oral folklore of the Kokshetau region will be collected, including zhyrs, dastans, legends, and oral narratives. Within the framework of interdisciplinary research, traditions of daily life, culture, and features of residential construction techniques in the ancient, medieval, and ethnographic periods of the Kokshetau region will be identified. Publication outputs (mandatory):A scientific monograph dedicated to a historical figure of the Kokshetau region will be prepared. At least 2 (two) articles or reviews will be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Science Citation Index, Arts and Humanities Citation Index of Web of Science, or in Scopus with a CiteScore percentile of at least 35. At least 5 (five) articles and/or reviews will be published in domestic or international scientific journals recommended by the CQASHE MSHE RK. 1 round table will be held, and interviews will be given in mass media. Implementation of scientific and technical products:Scientific and technical outputs obtained from the project implementation (new technologies, methodologies, software, technical documentation, recommendations, scientific and technical, experimental design and pilot production developments, geographical, geological, seismic, and other thematic maps) shall be implemented on the basis of the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan, a subordinate organization of the Ministry of Culture and Information of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Such implementation must be accompanied by a protection document, an implementation act, implementation recommendations, a licensing agreement, and an application for a commercialization project. |

4.2. Final Result The ethnoarchaeological research project of the Kokshetau region is aimed not only at the traditional study of ethnoarchaeological sites but also at the application of modern research methods. From a scientific perspective, comprehensive ethnoarchaeological studies in the Kokshetau region have not previously been conducted. The materials studied earlier do not allow for a clear determination of the role of the Kokshetau region in the history of Kazakhstan and, in a broader context, in the history of the Eurasian steppe. Ethnoarchaeological research is primarily focused on the study of wintering sites, necropolises, and stone tombstones. However, the integration of Saka-period wintering sites into the research, when examining dwelling construction traditions, provides significant opportunities for addressing issues of construction technology and its evolution. This is due to the fact that the historical and cultural processes characteristic of the forest-steppe zone retained their main features both in the Saka period and in the ethnographic era. This issue is currently one of the key research problems in the northern regions. The study of Kazakh wintering sites is also an important scientific issue not only from a historical but also from a political and ideological perspective, as it allows for the demonstration of the autochthonous origin of the Kazakh people. Addressing this problem will show that prior to the arrival of the tsarist administration, Kazakhs already had their own construction traditions. Within the framework of the project, the similarity between the construction techniques of early nomads and Kazakh dwellings of the ethnographic period will be demonstrated. Scientifically, it has been established that Kazakh wintering sites were sometimes built directly on the locations of Saka settlements. This indicates the continuity of the economic and cultural system that had developed over centuries in the consciousness of the local population. To date, stone tombstones in necropolises have remained outside the scope of systematic scientific study. Their systematic identification, introduction into scientific circulation, and publication in academic works will confirm that Kazakhs independently created funerary monuments without external influence, and that there was a tradition of stone craftsmanship and local artisans. This is an important proof of the existence of a unified cultural environment among the Kazakhs of that time. The collection of local ethnographic data must be carried out in a timely manner while elderly bearers of traditional knowledge are still alive. This is particularly important for preserving ethnographic information related to the 1940s–1950s. Therefore, it is necessary to collect as many oral traditions, narratives, epic works, and other forms of intangible cultural heritage of the Kokshetau region as possible. The results of the program will allow for the systematization of ethnographic materials of the Kokshetau region and the resolution of a number of key scientific issues. From an economic perspective, the study of sites associated with historical figures will allow their transformation into cultural and historical tourism objects. The new materials will contribute to fostering patriotism, preparing scholarly works on regional history, and enriching museum collections with artefacts discovered during excavations. Scientific and technical effectInterdisciplinary integration: Formation of a new methodological framework through the combination of archaeology, ethnography, and natural sciences (paleoanthropology, GIS technologies). Digitalization: Achieving a new level of historical data preservation through the creation of 3D models and digital mapping of the monuments of the Kokshetau region. New data: Introduction into scientific circulation of new data on the interaction between nomadic and sedentary cultures of Northern Kazakhstan. Economic effectTourism development: Enhancement of the region’s tourism potential through the creation of new routes and open-air museums based on the studied sites. Service sector: Stimulation of local entrepreneurship (hotels, services, souvenirs) through the reconstruction of ethno-villages and craft workshops. Investment: Attraction of investments into the cultural heritage protection sector through the formation of a historical brand of the region. Social effectNational identity: Strengthening national identity and patriotism through a deeper understanding of the history of the Kokshetau region. Education: Significant improvement of regional studies materials for secondary schools and higher education institutions. Cultural continuity: Promotion of ancient traditions and intangible heritage, ensuring a living connection between generations. Target users of the resultsThe results of the research will be widely used in the preparation of textbooks and new academic materials for schools and universities, in the development of tourism routes, in the organization of exhibitions, as well as in the promotion of the historical heritage of the region through mass media both in Kazakhstan and abroad. |
