Shiderti is an ancient human settlement, a settlement, consisting of the sites of Shiderti-1, Shiderti-2 and Shiderti-3, which are the places where our ancestors lived in ancient times. As a result of constant research, rich collections of stone tools and ceramics, bone objects and faunal remains were collected. They prove the first forms of industrial economy, determined by the domestication of horses and cattle. The Shiderti-3 site dates back to the Neolithic-Chalcolithic period, the mid-to-late 4th century BC and the beginning of the 3rd century BC. The remains of several permanent dwellings are partially preserved at the site. however, there is very little pottery, making cultural identification of the complex difficult.

The Pavlodar archaeological expedition has been exploring the multi-layer settlement of Shiderty-3 since 1989, however, according to the capabilities of the expedition, this work remains periodic and unstable, so no comprehensive results have been obtained. The main goal of the expedition was to study this monument as one of the most important and valuable stratigraphic objects of the Meso-Eneolithic of Northern Saryarka. Shiderty Park is included in the list of the most important cultural and historical sites subject to special research under the Cultural Heritage program, and accordingly, large-scale research and excavations were carried out there in 2005.
