History
Vadim Leonidovich Egorov estimates an area measuring approximately 10 x 2 km and considers the city to be the largest in the Golden Horde "and one of the largest in all of medieval Europe." In the 1920s, Franz Vladimirovich Ballod conducted small works on the mound. In 1965, the Volga archaeological expedition under the leadership of German Alekseevich Fedorov-Davydov resumed research of the monument. During the systematic excavations of the settlement (more than 25,000 m 2 were excavated.) In 1960-1980-s, manors, a mosque, a large necropolis, and craftsmen's workshops were investigated.
At the end of the 19th century, localization on the site of the Selitrenny settlement of the first capital of the Golden Horde, the city of Saray (Saray-Batu, Saray al-Mahrus), became widespread . In the 20th century, this hypothesis becomes dominant in historical science. According to the research of Alexander Vladimirovich Pachkalov, conducted at the beginning of the XXI century, the Selitrenny site of ancient settlement is not the Shed, founded in the XIII century, but the New Shed , which arose under Uzbek Khan in the 1330s, as there are no coins of the XIII - beginning of the XIV centuries [1] [2] [3] .
