Researchers from the Sarayshyk Museum-Reserve at the site of the city of Madzhar

Researchers from the Sarayshyk Museum-Reserve conducted scientific research at the site of the ancient city of Madzhar, which was once one of the major centers of the Golden Horde in the North Caucasus and was located on the territory of present-day Budyonnovsk, Stavropol Krai, Russian Federation. As part of the research, the museum staff first visited the Budyonnovsk City Historical and Local History Museum, where they studied the artifacts on display. Then, together with a specialist in the history of Madzhar, archaeologist and Candidate of Historical Sciences Yuriy Dmitriyevich Obukhov, a detailed scientific analysis of each exhibit was carried out. After some time, the research group traveled to the historical site where the city of Madzhar once stood. However, full-scale archaeological excavations are currently not being conducted at this location.
