ABOUT THE PROCESSES OF URBANIZATION OF THE GAVASAY OASIS (BASED ON MATERIALS OF THE TEMIRKASMAKTEPA MONUMENT)

Аннотация

The article delves into an examination of the stages involved in the formation of the city of Pap, presenting initial conclusions derived from archaeological observations conducted within the confines of its medieval monument - Temirkasmaktepa. Situated in the northern part of the Namangan region, Pap stands as one of the oldest settlements. Archaeological investigations within the area indicate that the processes of urbanization commenced around the mid-1st millennium BC and have persisted through contemporary times. Over subsequent years, there has been a substantial expansion in the scope of archaeological and archaeoseismological research focused on ancient monuments in the vicinity of the city of Pap. These studies have yielded highly valuable information, contributing significantly to the reconstruction of Pap's history throughout the Iron Age, Antiquity, and the Early and High Middle Ages.
