This article analyzes the formation, spatial distribution, and historical-cultural significance of archaeological monuments in the lower reaches of the Aravansoy basin. The aim of the study is to identify the interrelation between petroglyphs, ancient settlements, and irrigation systems located within the Aravansoy region. The research is based on historical-geographical analysis, comparative study of archaeological data, and synthesis of expedition materials.
The results indicate that the lower Aravansoy basin was intensively inhabited as a micro-oasis since the Bronze Age. Archaeological sites such as Shortepa, Zarg‘aldoqtepa, and the Bulakboshi area demonstrate the development of ancient agriculture, animal husbandry, pottery production, and metalworking traditions. Water resources and seasonal streams played a decisive role in the formation and sustainability of human settlements in this region. The Aravansoy basin represents one of the earliest settled areas of the Fergana Valley, and its archaeological heritage is of significant importance for understanding the historical development of the region.
