Abstract: Research objectives: The article discusses the problem of searching and studying one of the most interesting historical complexes of the late Middle Ages in the Tomsk Cis-Ob region – the Toyanov town. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Toyanov town was the ethnic and political center of the Turkic-speaking population living in the area.
Research materials: Archaeological search of the monument began in the second half of the nineteenth century and continues to the present. Several monuments of the late Middle Ages in the left bank of the Tom River were discovered and explored within this period. The materials found during excavations allow us to connect the history of the Tomsk Cis-Ob region of this time with the events in the entire forest-steppe zone of Western Siberia and the Turkic-Tatar state formations – in particular with the Siberian Khanate. Unfortunately, materials from the excavations are scattered and have not been published to date.
Results and novelty of the research: This article analyzes recent articles on the Toyanov town and presents materials from the M.P. Gryaznov’s archive containing the results of the 1924 excavations of the burial ground “Toyanov town” stored in the F.M. Dos­toevsky Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography of Omsk State University. These materials indicate a certain proximity between the Toyanov town and other complexes of the Siberian Khanate.

Keywords: Siberia, Tomsk Cis-Ob region, Middle Ages, Siberian Khanate, Prince Toyan, Russia, state
