Journal Title: Поволжская Археология - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 24
Abstract
Comprehensive geophysical studies (magnetometry, georadiolocation) were conducted in the estimated areas of ceramic production at Bolgar fortified settlement near Galankino Lake in 2016. Different geophysical study methods were applied with the use of various equipment were used, including a multi-antenna radar complex (MARK 300-8). Hearths were discovered and localized to the West, South and East of Galankino Lake. A single complex of hearts was studied with maximum possible accuracy using the geophysical methods. Then the production complex was archaeologically investigated at excavation 216. A reconstruction on the basis of geophysical data provided a high degree of identification of details and individual elements of production facilities and their general system within the study area.
