The stage of gathering of information about stone sculptures of Central Kazakhstan

Research reveals that the early stages of documenting stone sculptures in Saryarka, particularly during the late 19th to mid-20th centuries, were characterized by episodic and non-methodical data collection. This period coincided with the formative years of archaeology as a discipline, leading to a fragmented approach to studying these monuments. The study analyzes the historical context and limitations of this phase, highlighting how the lack of systematic methods hindered comprehensive documentation.
