Scientists were surprised by the found multiplicity of horse bones. About 133 thousand horse bones were investigated. Buzok is a Turkic-Oguz term, the name of the eastern part of the administrative structure of the ancient Turkic states. The settlement of Buzok is important for the capital of Kazakhstan as its ancient history. Buzok is an old settlement, at that time it was considered as a horde of a local ruler.
