Figure 40: Panorama of the suburban landscape today. Image taken from beyond the western walls of city west and to north of the Great Kyz Kala (see Figure 68 for location). If you rotate the image to the left, you will see two substantial earthen structures, the Greater and Lesser Kyz Kalas. Further left, the small brick monument is Kyz Bibi, and then the Mausoleum of Sultan Sanjar. Between this and Kyz Bibi, the low mounds in the foreground, to the right of the Mausoleum of Sultan Sanjar, are part of the impressive double courtyard caravanserai. Continuing left, note the nearby village and the flat modern agricultural land (in which cropmarks are visible) where the surface archaeology has been badly damaged by modern agriculture.
