Аннотация

This article re-examines a multi-room building that was excavated in the 1970s in the vicinity of Otrar (southern Kazakhstan). The building dates from the 14th to early 15th century. Its walls and square floorplan,were constructed of large-sized, fired bricks. According to the author of the publication (S. Zh. Zholdasbaev) the structure was divided into 20 rooms by internal partitions. The central square room was surrounded by various sized rooms and configurations. The building was badly damaged by later period digging, so the internal structures were almost unpreserved. In the original publication, this building is interpreted as a mosque or madrasah. However, no signs of a cultic building can connected to it. Likewise, in the central region of the Golden Horde in the Lower Volga, several manor houses with a similar layout were studied. Also square in plan, these houses were divided into three sections by meridian walls. The middle part consisted of a suite of rooms with a ceremonial hall in the center. The main entrance was located on the south side and in the northern section is found the place of honor for house’s owner designated by a podium with a canopy. On the east and west sides, the hall was adjoined by multi-functional rooms. The main buildings of the richest estates had a similar layout. This similar layout from estates in the Golden Horde was borrowed from floorplans in Central Asia. The manor houses of Khorezm may have served as a model. However, the spatial organization of Golden Horde manor houses was organized according to Mongolian models. The building in the Otrar oasis is probably an example of such houses from Khorezm.
