Recent archaeological findings in Semiyarka suggest that ancient bronzesmiths likely worked in open-air or less formal spaces, leaving minimal architectural traces. This area, rich in artifacts, extends beyond visible building outlines. These objects may mark sites of seasonal activity.
Fragmented pottery provides evidence of trade between Semiyarka’s settled inhabitants and nomadic Cherkaskul potters, who coexisted on the steppe from 1600-1250 BCE. Traces of encampments and burial mounds along the Irtysh River further highlight the connections between city dwellers and their nomadic neighbors. Semiyarka offers insights into the wider steppe and its people.
