Its dating caused controversy, including among the participants of the excavation. The site as a whole is very complicated to deal with. It is obvious that its formation took a long time resulting in an assemblage of objects and structures for various purposes ranging from a nomadic mound to structures of the late Middle Ages. The author is of the opinion that all objects excavated in 2012\u20132014 belong to the period of the late 14th \u2013 the turn of the 16<sup>th<\/sup> and 17<sup>th<\/sup> centuries. This paper focuses on the substantiation of the dating of the structure tentatively referred to as \u201cPanjmanor\u201d (Five Towers). In the light of the analogies presented in the work it can be considered as a special kind of Muslim mosque and a tomb mosque. Based on the first construction period, the structure can be attributed to the Timurid period \u2013 the late 14th\u201315th century.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOI: <\/strong>10.31857\/S086960630010959-3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Larisa O.
