The Archeology and Ethnology Department of the National University of Uzbekistan, in collaboration with the Tashkent Regional Department of the Cultural Heritage Agency, the Akkurgan District Department of Landscaping, and the district office of the Chamber of State Cadastres, conducted search work at 27 cemeteries.

Twenty-three archaeological artifacts, including fragments of ceramic dishes, were discovered. It has been established that the hills with the common name “Uchtepa”, located at a distance of 30-40 meters from each other, are situated within the residential area of the local population. Homeowners are advised not to destroy the monuments. 

Although no other archaeological artifacts have been found in the remaining four cemeteries surveyed, archaeological excavations will continue. Only after that it will be possible to conclude whether the objects are ancient artifacts of cultural heritage.
