Abstract

This article encapsulates the main results and promising directions in the study of Botay culture by the team of international integrated Kazakh-Britain archaeological expedition. Particular attention in the article is paid to the large amount of work done by Western scientists under the leadership of Alan Outram at the Botay settlement on the analysis of archaeozoological and chemical-physical, biological sources from the cultural layer of the monument.
