The Bashkirs, a Turkic people of the Ural-Volga region who today form the Republic of Bashkortostan, are among the least-studied Turkic peoples in Western ethnographic literature, making this Soviet-era primary documentation particularly valuable. The book covers the full range of Bashkir settlement types — permanent village settlements (auls) with their street plans and spatial organization, khutors, seasonal hay-cutting and grazing encampments — followed by detailed treatment of rural permanent dwellings (log construction, clay, sod, and stone houses, semi-dugouts), temporary summer dwellings (yurts, conical and hemispherical shelters, log cabins), homestead layout, interior organization and furnishing, and architectural decoration including the carved wooden window frames, gable ornaments, and gates for which Bashkir vernacular architecture is known. Separate chapters address the territorial and ecological variation in dwelling types across the diverse geographical zones of Bashkiria. The study draws on materials from the ethnographic expeditions of the Institute of History, Language and Literature of the Bashkir Branch of the Academy of Sciences, as well as archival sources. The print run of 1,550 copies is extremely small even by Nauka standards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44369970561066,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_3842.jpg?v=1778856198","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/shitova-s-traditional-settlements-and-dwellings-of-the-bashkirs-second-half-of-the-19th-first-quarter-of-the-20th-century-traditsionnye-poseleniya-i-zhilishcha-bashkir-1984-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
