New information on the history of the Aubatkan-Yalankul cluster of Tatar settlements in the Bolsherechensky district of the Omsk region

Materials obtained in summer 2020 on the history, settlement system, and economy of a remote group of the Siberian Tatars living in a remote region on the border of the Bolsherechensky, Kolosovsky, and Sargatsky districts of the Omsk region are being introduced into scientific circulation. The archival materials obtained reveal their early history and show their settlement system in the second half of the 18th-first half of the 19th century. They are supplemented by the data reported by local residents and the results of an archaeological survey of the area. This makes it possible to reliablyfind out some aspects of the first stage ofjustifying this population group in the new territory and to trace their further fate. As a result of the study of archival documents, a plan of this area in 1869 was discovered, which indicated all now disappeared settlements, a survey local residents gave information about the traditional planigraphy of the villages and the location of several of them. In particular, there was the specified specific location of the disappeared village of Kurtayly and its cemetery. As a result of an archaeological survey, this place was found. Moreover, information was received about the traditional economic activities of the Bukhara people (animal husbandry, trade, agriculture, andfishing). Aubatkan yurts were the oldest settlement in this region. Kurtayly, Komusly/Kumusly, Kuygaly, Yalankul were settlements, Meretkulskys were small settlements. The settlement Yalakulsky was the latest in the time of its origin. Settlements and small settlements were located on lakes, near grazing and fishing grounds. Perhaps some of them were seasonal settlements.
