Abstract

Summary

Here are the results of geophysical investigations at the ancient Jankent. High-precision orthophotography was performed using an unmanned drone for the first time on the territory of the ancient settlement of Jankent, which allowed revealing new details in the city's layout. Magnetic survey inside the settlement of Jankent has been completed, which has shown its high efficiency for this type of archaeological sites. The General structure of the city blocks of the Jankent was revealed by using magnetic survey. There are strong linear anomalies of positive and negative signs that are located along the main street. Especially strong positive anomalies correspond to the transition from the Western to the Eastern part of the city. Many local positive magnetic field anomalies were detected throughout the city, which probably correspond to the remains of oven for various purposes. The performed ERT studies confirmed the similarity of the structure of the walls and platform backfills throughout the site of the settlement. Seismic studies indicate a different structure of the upper part of the section inside and outside the city. Apparently, a long period of accumulation of sediments and the cultural layer led to the appearance of an abnormal density section inside the settlement.
