Abstract

The article provides a scientific analysis of the metalworking crafts in ancient Khorezm based on archaeological materials. The study highlights the developmental stages of blacksmithing, foundry work, weapon manufacturing, and jewelry making in antiquity, based on the results of archaeological research conducted at monuments such as Qoyqirilgan Qala, Tuprak Qala, Qalaliqir 2, Kaparas, and Yelkharas. Specifically, it has been determined that workshops of this period produced various products and decorative items from metals such as iron, copper, bronze, gold, and silver, and that craftsmen possessed technologies for metal casting, heat treatment, and the production of armor and weapons. It is also noted that there was a high demand for metal products in the fortresses and rural settlements of Khorezm in the ancient period, and some centers (Qalaliqir 2, Tuprak Qala) had metal production workshops.

The results obtained in the article demonstrate that metalworking played an important role in the craft culture and economic life of Khorezm in antiquity.
