Дирестуйський Култук
Дирестуйський Култук, Archaeological site in Dzhidinsky District, Russia.
Direstuysky Kultuk is an archaeological dig in the Dzhidinsky region where layers of ancient settlements sit on top of each other like pages in a book. Each layer holds remains of houses, tools, and bones that tell us who lived here and what they did.
People lived in this spot across many centuries, with each era leaving behind its own houses and possessions in separate layers. This layering shows us how settlement patterns changed and developed over time.
The site reveals how ancient people in this region organized their daily lives, from the way they built shelters to the tools they used for work. Visitors can see evidence of trade networks and craft activities that connected different communities.
This site is protected by the state, so access is managed by local authorities and planning ahead makes sense. Visitors should prepare for outdoor conditions and uneven ground where the dig areas are exposed to the elements.
Researchers regularly find objects here that show how people from different cultures lived alongside each other and traded. These discoveries reveal that this region was an active crossroads where different groups met and exchanged goods.
