Abstract
The discovery of a unique archeological monument of the 6th century AD in the south of Dagestan (the Rubas Fortification) and archeoseismological studies of its military engineering objects have revealed many characteristic deformations caused by previously unknown historical earthquakes. Based on the archeoseismological and geological data, traces of the active fault zone have been found in the area of this archeological monument. The slips on this fault led to the displacement and distortion of the early medieval monumental defensive wall.
