Claim 1: “Archaeologists in Russia have uncovered weapons, jewelry and other artifacts at the ancient Kipchakovo settlement in Tatarstan”

The claim states artifacts were found at the 'Kipchakovo' settlement. However, the evidence from GreekReporter.com specifically states that the artifacts (weapons, jewelry, pottery) were uncovered at the 'Pyanobor' settlement in Tatarstan, contradicting the location name in the claim.
