Дворцовые здания конца XIV века у поселка Комсомольский в Астраханской области

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the palace-like architectural constructions found during an excavation of the 14th c. hillfort site located near Astrakhan at Komsomolskii settlement on the Lower Volga. The investigated remains belonged to the buildings which were a part of an architectural complex erected during the reign of Toktamysh khan. The composite design of the buildings originated from China. The Golden Horde architects took this plan as a basis for the palace constructions of new type combining the Central and Inner Asian traditions. This type of architectural constructions became traditional in the Golden Horde and was preserved in late monuments of Central Asia.
