This article is about the first archeological monument - the group of archaeological sites named Tytkesken VI which was first mentioned in 1983. M.T.Abdulganeev was looking for the monuments which could be destroyed while building the the Katun Water Power Station and marked them on the special map.

In 1984 The scientists of Barnaul State University found another group of situated not far from the first one. They named them Tytkesken I and Tytkesken II.They continued their work and found many sufficient artifacts which were left by ancient реоple оn the place of their settlments. They were named Tytkesken III and Tytkesken IV and V. The scientists were researching them since 1984 till 1991 and found there many objects made from stone, bronze and iron, which illustrated that people lived there from V b.c. till I a.c. All those settlements were found оn the right bank of the river.

In 1988 the scientists came to conclusion that the situated оn the right bank of the river and on the left one were different from each other. That`s why the on the left bank were named Tytkesken VI.

From 1988 till 1993 more than 60 monuments of skiffs period were researched (V - III b.c.) the scientists also learned the settlements of Turkic period (year 552 a.c.). A great number of specialists took part in the work. They were pupils, students, scientists from many towns and cities of Siberia.
