Kazakhstan has created a unified digital database of the country’s archaeological sites. Laser scanning, digital modelling and other advanced reconstruction technologies allow researchers to study ancient objects in greater detail and preserve information about their condition in digital form. Research currently covers artefacts from various periods, ranging from the Stone Age through the 19th and 20th centuries. The 2nd International Archaeological Symposium, held in Astana, was dedicated to the 35th anniversary of the Margulan Institute of Archaeology. The event brought together over 150 researchers from Central Asia, the CIS, Europe and other countries. Participants focused on the development of archaeology and the expansion of international scientific cooperation.
«We invited researchers from the United States, Russia, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan who specialize in different historical periods. We are working closely with them. This allows us to trace the chronology in full, covering the historical record not only of our country but the entire Eurasian region. In particular, our research into the Stone Age is already being conducted at a global level,» said Assemgul Kassenova, Deputy Director General for Science at the Margulan Institute of Archaeology.
