Within the framework of the grant-funded scientific project AP23486716 – “The Sign System and Tamgas of the Kazakhs of the Altai”, the working group of the State Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve Berel is conducting a large-scale ethno-archaeological expedition aimed at collecting and studying the tamga signs of the Kazakhs of the Altai.

The research encompasses the Ulan, Tarbagatai, Katon-Karagai, Kurshim, and Markakol districts of the East Kazakhstan Region, as well as the Kosh-Agach district of the Russian Federation (the photographs from Kosh-Agach were taken by journalist Merey Kainar).
