Abstract

The process of preservation of archaeological and historical-cultural heritage of the country is not only a matter of formation of the legislative framework, the work of archaeologists and restorers, but also a specific study of the geological and natural environment in which the archaeological site was formed. The article presents the data of geological and geomorphological study of rock formations with petroglyphs of the UNESCO World Heritage property Tamgaly archaeological complex. In the course of field and cameral works, carried out by order of the Scientific Restoration Laboratory "Ostrov Krym" in 2022-2023, detailed studies of I–III groups of petroglyphs were carried out, abiotic and biotic factors affecting the preservation of this unique archeological monument were shown.
