At Baitursynuly University, paleozoologists from Almaty and Yekaterinburg visited. By examining the bones discovered during excavations at the Kamysty settlement, the scientists are determining the composition of the herd.
Pavel KOSINTSEV, PhD in Biological Sciences and senior researcher at the Institute of Ecology of Plants and Animals of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Mambet SHAGIRBAEV, a researcher at the A.Kh. Margulan Institute of Archaeology, are working in the archaeological laboratory. They are processing materials obtained from the research at the Kamysty settlement, which was conducted under the leadership of Andrei Logvin, PhD in Historical Sciences.
“We have been collaborating with Kostanay Regional University for a long time,” says Pavel KOSINTSEV. “Now we have come to continue the comprehensive study of the Kamysty settlement, which we started a few years ago. We use the traditional method-determining to which animal the bone belongs based on a complex of morphological traits. The result of our joint work will be determining the composition of the herd and a scientific publication.”
The scientists shared their unique experience with history students as well. The lecture with the guests was organized by the students of the archaeological club, led by senior research associate of the archaeological laboratory Irina Shevnina.
