| Popis: | The field studies of the early 21st century have provided qualitatively new results. The fundamental information on Ukek is presented with regard to data of the previous years of studies. This includes details of the monument area and the preservation of the cultural layers. It is highlighted that the city used to serve as a crossing site, and the specific terrain relief distinguishing Ukek from the other Golden Horde cities on the Volga was probably reflected in its name. Individual construction traditions and crafts have been determined, as well as the ethnical and confessional composition of the population. According to the ceramic and numismatic materials, the route from Ukek through Azak to Crimea, Constantinople and Trebizond has been identified, and close interrelations with Mohshi have been recorded. Dating of the city’s cultural layers is presented, and the period of maximum administrative prosperity is determined as the one associated with numerous imported articles and the period of the city’s own coinage. This period precedes the time of the city’s maximum dimensions. |
