Guta (manufactory) in Ilya existed until the beginning of the XIX century and later was moved to the modern village of Novaya Guta. The date of the monument is confirmed by the coins of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth of the second half of the 17th - the middle of the 18th century discovered here.
Scientists of the scientific research archaeological laboratories VyatSU took samples of the tree species to determine its rock and samples of remnants of glass-making production to study the composition of glass by atomic absorption analysis and determining the level of technical equipment of the guta masters.
