The territory of the modern city was previously a favorable crossing point for caravan routes. Archaeologists have found artifacts within the city that date back to the Bronze Age, the Early Iron Age, and the Middle Ages. Thus, in 2001 and 2005, burial grounds of the Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age Kuigenzhar were investigated. In 2007, the royal burial mound on Syganak Street (since 2011, Sh. Kaldayakov Street), located in the immediate vicinity of the Palace of Independence, was partially explored. After the expansion of the administrative line of Astana, within its boundaries (11 km from the city center) there was a Bozok settlement (400 by 200 m in size) - a settlement of farmers, as evidenced by the remains of ditches on an area of 30 hectares. The settlement first existed in the 7th-8th centuries, then it was abandoned. The settlement existed again in the 10th-11th centuries, after which it was again abandoned and again restored in the 12th-14th centuries.
