Abstract

The paper presents a map of Volga Bolgaria sites in Zakamye (Trans-Kama region) of Tatarstan, compiled as a result of digitalization of available data. The map of archeological sites of Volga-Kama Bolgaria (X – fi rst half of XV century) by Fakhrutdinov R.G., 4 volumes of archeological maps of TASSR, "Code of archaeological sites of the Republic of Tatarstan", order of the Ministry of Culture of Tatarstan from 22.11.2000 No 267 and data on newly identifi ed monuments for 2015–2018 according to the materials of the Committee of RT for the Protection of Cultural Heritage objects were used. The geo-information system, used as a platform for
creating the database, allowed us to collect information about Bolgar sites in a single repository. The GIS-analysis clearly demonstrated the density of settling in the pre-Mongol and Golden Horde periods. The presented scientific research is the first stage in the formation of a complete database of all sites belonging to the Volga Bolgaria in order to provide in the future the possibility of large-scale spatial analysis.
