Abstract

The authors considers the history of the study of the Khan Shahghali’s mausoleum (tekiye); archaeological research data, written records and graphic sources are used, previously published works on this issue that need a critical approach and addition are drawn in, and the results of archaeological studies conducted nearby the site in 2020 as part of the restoration program are given. As a result of archaeological studies, the depth of the mausoleum foundation and the base of the underground crypt were revealed, two stratigraphic horizons associated with the construction and restoration of the building were identifi ed, remains of structures and post holes of scaff olding associated with the construction of the mausoleum were identifi ed in the test pits. The studies have not revealed layers in this area that were formed earlier than the middle of the XVI century. It is concluded that the mausoleum (tekiye) was built under the infl uence of Sufi traditions that appeared in the Golden Horde period.
