The map of archaeological monuments that will come out soon is under development in the Chechen Republic. The staff of the Center of Archaeological Researches of Chechnya is busy with its compilation.
As of today, the maps of Naursky, Shelkovskoy, Nadterechny and Gudermessky districts have already been compiled and published. Preparation for the publishing of Sharoysky District map is almost complete, the maps of Groznensky and Itum-Kalinsky districts, where several new archaeological sites were discovered, are being mounted.
In the course of map developing, the objects belonging to the archaeological heritage destroyed in a result of illegal farming in Alkhan-Kala, Berkat-Yurt and other historical territories are subjected to protection (rescue) research. Lots, allocated for the construction of wells in the Mesketinskoye oilfield and Chiri-Yurt cement plant pit in Ushkaloy were also subjected to critical scrutiny. The questions of the necessity to conduct a protection research were raised, as the evidences of the archaeological monuments' destruction were found there.
