The chronological frames of the present volume on the "Archaeology of the Volga-Urals" cover the period from the beginning of the 8Ih century to the Mongol-Tatar conquests in 1236. Its territorial borders include forest and forest-steppe zones of Northeastern Europe and partially steppe areas of Russia, where the ancestors of contemporary Mari, Udmurt, Komi, Mordvinian, Volga Tatar, Chuvash and Bashkir peoples lived in the Middle Ages.
The first section of the volume generalizes the materials from the archaeological sites of the Volga- Ural region of the VIII-X centuries. The second one is completely devoted to the archaeology of the Volga Bulgaria in the pre-Mongol period. The last section presents the ethnic-cultural processes in the VIII—XIII centuries based on the materials of archaeology and anthropology. The section (and the volume as a whole) ends with a short overview on the Mongol-Tatar conquests in 1236 that became a kind of borderline in the history of the peoples of Eastern Europe.
