| Abstract |
This article is devoted to the steps of Lower Volga Region culture. First tribes arrived 5 thousand
years ago in the Astrakhan region. It’s geographic position, neighborhood of the River Volga and
Caspian Sea were very suitable for people, that’s why there was created big trade crossing here.
Volga Region steppes were very popular place for nomad tribes living until the XVI century.
Scythian, Sarmatians (Savromat), Huns, Khazars, Tatar-Mongols lived here. In 1556 Astrakhan
was conquered by Russia. But architectural features of all tribes were saved for many centuries.
Nomad tribes were created the best accommodations for hot dry climate of south steppes. Some
such features were used till XX century. It is very important to learn vernacular dwelling houses of
these tribes to understand forming principles of Astrakhan Region, that helps to create comfortable
environment.
