Each year, the spring season brings snowmelt and heavy precipitation, increasing the risk of flooding in areas located near rivers and water bodies. One of such places is the unique archaeological monument of the Eneolithic period — the Botai settlement, located in the village of Nikolskoye on the right bank of the Iman-Burluk River.
The main activity of the Department for the Protection and Use of Historical and Cultural Heritage sites during the winter period is the implementation of protection and emergency (rescue) operations.
Staff of the Department for the Protection and Use of Historical and Cultural Heritage of the Botai Museum-Reserve carry out ongoing protective measures and monitor the condition of dwellings within the protected zones of the Botai settlement, despite unfavorable winter weather conditions.
On the eve of the celebration of the Republic Day of Kazakhstan, on October 17, the Botai Museum-Reserve organized a discussion platform on the topic: “Preservation and Protection of Monuments in the Northern Region of Kazakhstan: Challenges and Prospects for the Development of Botai Culture.”
On June 25, 2024, staff of the Botai Museum-Reserve conducted activities at the Botai settlement as part of their work on the protection and use of historical and cultural heritage.
