During archaeological excavations at the Khamkhi tower complex, a large castle-type tower settlement in the center of the Targim Basin in the Dzheyrakh District of Ingushetia, human skeletal remains, a clay jug, a knife, and an ancient saber with a handle, a long blade, and a characteristic curve toward the butt were discovered.
The excavations were conducted in a medieval above-ground crypt. The skeletal remains were discovered under the second burial layer, in a special wooden enclosure. A knife and a clay jug with a handle were found nearby. Presumably, this was the burial of a person of considerable renown at the time (possibly a renowned warrior).
Of greatest interest to researchers are the human skeleton, over 2 meters tall, and the ancient saber, which, at first glance, appears to have preserved its shape and all its structural elements well.
Archaeological work is being carried out with the financial support of the Safmar charitable foundation.
