Excavations will cover an area of 500 square metres
Archaeological excavations will begin in Surgut's "Za Saimoy" park. Four years ago, an archaeological monument was discovered here during the development of the park improvement project.
According to the federal law, all objects of cultural heritage must be removed before starting economic activities. To start work, archaeologists need to clear the territory of trees.
In compliance with preliminary data in the park found a village. Century belonging to the object, experts have yet to establish. This is reported by District broadcaster "Ugra", a partner of TV BRICS.
Excavations will cover an area of 500 square metres. The regional organisation "Northern Archaeology" will carry out the research. 15 employees will study the territory layer by layer.
Andrey Armenchu, head of the technical department of the capital construction department of Surgut: "After all the archaeological activities we will be able to carry out some household activities here and implement a new facility. Either to plant this area with trees in the same way, or maybe to organise some necessary space on the territory of the park."
