Abstract

This paper concerns the research works on the Golden Horde sites in the North-Eastern Caspian Sea region. In this regard, the reports on archaeological excavations of different time periods carried out on the monuments of Saraychik, Zhaiyk, Zhalpaktal and Aktobe-Laeti of the studied region were reviewed. The analysis of the obtained results of archaeological excavations on the monuments form the basis for determining the direction and goals of further research and therefore does not lose its relevance today. The purpose of the paper is to compile the history of the study of the monuments of the North-Eastern Caspian Sea on the basis of archaeological research results. The results of the study of the monuments in question were subdivided into three stages. The main results of the excavations were determined, focusing on the research activities carried out at each of the monuments.
