Abstract

This article provides new information about the city monument of Mingtepa, located in the northern part of the Sоgd region. The first information about the city monument of Mingtepa was recorded in the 70-80s of the last century. The conclusions are made on the basis of material artifacts obtained during excavations in the 1980s and last 2014-2017. Also presented the results of a joint Uzbek-French archaeological expedition on the survey of archaeological sites in the northern part of the Central Zarafshan oasis. Opinions about the localization of the city are expressed on the basis of written sources and new archaeological materials. On the basis of archaeological excavations, the classification of ceramic products and their interaction with the culture of neighboring territories are analyzed. Kabudanjakent, the Sogdian rustak located in the northern part of Zarafshan, and its pottery show similarities with the early medieval ceramics of Chach, Ustrushona, South and West Sugd regions, as well as the influence of the "Kaunchi" culture.
