The article is a publication of materials from the 2020 excavations at the Selitrennoye settlement in the Kharabali district of the Astrakhan region. In 2019, as a result of laying a gas pipeline, a trench was dug in the protected zone of an archaeological site of federal significance. In 2020, security and rescue excavations were carried out, as a result of which a large multi-room building with half-timbered walls was discovered. 19 premises for various purposes were investigated. Among them are hall for receiving guests with an iwan in the northern part, a front room with sufas around the perimeter, living rooms with sufas, kangs and tandoors. The floors in the rooms were laid with baked bricks on lime mortar and covered with a layer of alabaster on top. The walls and sufas were also plastered with alabaster mortar. Monochrome and polychrome tiles and stamped ganch (raw stucco) elements were used as decoration. The presence of halls with iwans in the building itself and in its annex allows it to be classified as a palace-type manor building.
