It’s worth noting that East Kazakhstan is rightfully considered one of the unique spiritual centers of the country

That is why, within the framework of the state program Rukhani Zhangyru in the region, projects are being successfully implemented to research, preserve and popularize the unique heritage of the people of Kazakhstan in the field of archeology.

So, in the archeology, since 2016, the region has implemented the program “Research Efforts Development in Archeology of East Kazakhstan region” initiated by the regional akim Danial Akhmetov.

The research of archaeological sites in East Kazakhstan region was led by the country's leading archaeologists Zainolla Samashev, Abdesh Toleubaev, Karl Baipakov. Archaeologists from about 20 foreign countries took part in the research work.

As a result of the work carried out on the archaeological sites of the region from 2016 to 2019, more than 20,000 artifacts were found, some of which are under restoration and laboratory research. The discovered artifacts have replenished the fund of East Kazakhstan Regional Local History Museum.

The plan for the Archeology Research Program has been extended in the region until 2021.
