Por-Bajin is a fortress-like site of the Uighur Empire in southern Siberia. New excavations and geo-archaeological work 1997-98 suggest that it may have been a ritual site or a Manichaean monastery rather than a fortress or palace.

NATURAL AND ANTHROPOGENIC IMPACT ON THE FORMATION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL LAYERS IN A LAKE-SHORE AREA: CASE STUDY FROM THE SERTEYA II SITE, WESTERN RUSSIA2021 •
The article presents the results of a study on archaeological structures and horizons developed in the palaeolake shore-zone of the Serteya II site that was occupied intermittently and to a greater or lesser intensity from the Mesolithic up to the Middle Ages. The Serteya II site is a multilayer complex used by hunter–fisher–gatherer communities in the 9th–8th mill. BC, and from the end of the 7th till the end of the 3rd mill. BC. The article is focused on the particularities of the formation of archaeological layers and the reconstruction of the ancient environment in different periods of time. The study of the sets of artefacts, their state of preservation, as well as the traits of archaeological features, may indicate the peculiarities of the formation of different sedimentological units. Based on the results of complex natural-scientific research it was possible to reconstruct the palaeo-ecology of changing water regimes as well as changes in environmental conditions.

Development of human society in the course of the whole history of mankind significantly depended on a lot of natural factors such as climatic conditions, soil fertility, and availability of water sources, the vegetable world and the animal world. However perhaps only natural calamities distinguished by its unpredictability and scope exerted fatal impact on development of civilizations. There are many examples in the history of mankind that evidence destruction and dark oblivion for many centuries and sometimes millenniums of the whole civilizations as a result of natural calamities. Investigation of shelf of Absheron peninsula using space photographs allowed scientists to find an extraordinary structure on the bottom of sea, near the eastern boundaries of Absheron peninsula i.e. Shikhov bay-bar and the shape of this structure reminded the ruins of an ancient fortress. Authors temporarily titled this structure as “Zyrinskaya fortress”. Closer viewing of the picture allows us to see clearly the perimeter and the interior design of the structure. Special filters providing for viewing of the space photograph in various spectral ranges have been used in order to improve visual capacity of the obtained picture. As you see from the space photograph the walls of the ancient structure are clearly showing up. The structure has oblong shape and stretches in the North-eastern direction. Ruins of several walls that have lateral and cross cut orientation in regard to exterior walls are clearly distinguished inside the structure. There is a semicircular structure near the southern wall, in the central part of the conditional fortress. Meanwhile we haven’t found any notes in historical sources that would confirm availability of an ancient fortress in the detection area of underwater ruins. The next successive step of relevant investigations shall consist of archeological digs.
Underwater Non-destructive Studies on Durankulak Lake in 2021.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL COMPLEX DURANKULAK. Underwater Non-destructive Studies on Durankulak Lake (Presentation 2022)2022 •
The goal of geophysical research in 2021 was a comprehensive study of the bottom of Durankulak Lake (Fig. 1). The following tools was employed: Side Scan Sonar 2 pcs. (StarFish 450H and StarFish 990) with visualization system for obtaining information about the nature of the lake bottom and the presence and / or absence of artificial objects; Compact sub bottom - SES 2000 Compact for bottom depth scanning and surface stratigraphy detection; and DGPS coordinating system with Heading (Trimble SPSx61) in Roll RTK configuration and geo-electrical resistance meter. Multibeam echosounder was also used to supplement the data. According to the tracing data, we were able to select only one layer of mud deposited on the strongly denuded rocks in Durankulak Lake. In places the muddy layer reaches a depth of over 4 m. The reason why the layers cannot be clearly traced in depth is the fact that the muddy bottom, due to the decomposition of deposited organic material, generates a constant swamp gas that shields the signal and limits the breakthrough capabilities of the equipment. In the environment of moving water masses, as is the case with the Black Sea bottom, this is not the case, but with the stagnant water of Durankulak Lake, this has become an insurmountable problem. In Durankulak Lake, 10 electric cross-sections were made, covering its entire area. The defined boundaries of the layers are stratified on the basis of specific resistances. The results confirmed the previous observations that the riverbed and flood terraces of the ancient river were formed by gravels, sands (mostly near the modern coastline), clay and precipitated loess. Of interest are the rise and fall of the strata registered in several of the profiles, which (unprovable for now) could be interpreted as indications of the presence of fault lines. Summarizing the results obtained from the research of Durankulak Lake and the adjacent Black Sea shelf, we draw a clear picture of the paleorelief of the area (Fig. 4). The contours of the ancient river, as well as the river pools areas, became very apparent. It was found that in some places the width of the ancient river reached 70–80 m. The greatest measured depth is in the eastern part of the lake – -4.25 m from elevation 0, the modern water mirror. Detailed bathymetry shows that the area around the Big and Small Islands has a slightly special relief. At about 50 m to the north, the bottom drops to -3.20 m. There is a large depression which can be interpreted as a river pool, a swampy area during the dry months of the year. Data have been found between the two islands for the presence of a pronounced rib connecting them, an indication of the existence in ancient times of a land connection between the Big and Small Islands. The established terrain configuration on the western bank of the ancient river showed that in ancient times the areas south and north of the Big Island were relatively flat and probably inhabited. Data from the side-scan sonar (Compact sub bottom) show that in front of the eastern cape of the Big Island there is a significant accumulation of stones. Scattered stones are also found on the eastern shore of the lake, opposite the Small Island. The sonar images also show the contours of a sunken boat, as well as those of several of the metal cylindrical girders of the pontoon once connecting the coast with the Small Island.

Ushkiani-Project: Preliminary archaeological investigations in the Lake Sevan Region/Armenia2021 •
The enclosed landscape around the Artanish Peninsula (Lake Sevan/Armenia) can be seen as a prehistoric terra incognita due to the wholesale lack of archaeological investigations to date. Initial approaches in 2019 – funded by the Gerda-Henkel-Foundation – revealed outlines of the prehistoric settlement patterns which could be placed in relation to gold mining in a clearly delineated natural corridor along this line of superregional communication and trade routes. The intention of the following project is to implement an intensive, holistic-archaeological investigation of the settlement network in the surroundings of the gold mining area and an interdisciplinary attempt to embed these structures within the larger ecological and anthropogenic environment. Der klar begrenzte Naturraum um die Artanish-Halbinsel (Sevan-See/Armenien) kann aufgrund des bisherigen Fehlens an archäologischen Untersuchungen bis heute als eine wissenschaftliche terra incognita der Prähistorie eingestuft werden...
