Ufa 2 Archeology Site, Ancient hillfort site in Ufa, Russia.
Ufa 2 is an archaeological site with the remains of fortifications and settlements positioned on elevated ground where multiple rivers meet in Bashkortostan. The site shows traces of defensive walls and ditches that once surrounded the settlement.
Settlement at the site began well before modern Ufa was founded, revealing early human occupation in this region. Research indicates the fortification experienced multiple phases of construction and use over centuries.
The excavated pottery, tools, and household items reveal how people organized their daily work and crafts in this region long ago.
Visitors can reach the site through guided tours organized by local museums, which work best when excavations are not in progress. Sturdy shoes are recommended since the terrain is uneven and can become slippery in wet weather.
The original earthen ramparts of the fortification remain visible today, offering insights into ancient defensive techniques in the Southern Urals. What stands out is the construction method used only clay and earth, showing how people adapted to available materials.
