Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of new archaeological data obtained as a result of the study of the Bytygai settlement. The site is located in the vicinity of the village of Korgalzhin, Akmola region (Republic of Kazakhstan). The materials obtained in the study of the production workshop are introduced into scientific circulation. The site, in combination with other objects, forms a single urban and technological center that exists on the territory of the Tengiz-Korgalzhin region and even the whole of Central Kazakhstan. The object and other structures investigated in 2021 at the Bytygai settlement have a set of characteristic features and signs of the Timurid architectural style and according to preliminary data date back to the 14th -15th centuries.
