Balymer complex

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Balymer complex is an archaeological complex near the village of Balymer, Spassky District, Tatarstan, Russia. It covers an area of 4 km². It was first explored in 1870 by A. I. Stoyanov. It is believed that the settlement, graves and tumuli belonged to the Volga Bulgars, to the Vikings (Rūsiyyah) in the 9th-10th centuries, and to the Golden Horde nomads in the 13th-14th centuries. In the settlement there were found the remains of the Ananyino and İmänkiskä cultures, i.e. Finno-Ugric peoples.
