Abstract

This article analyzes the economic and social significance of Sogdian villages during the early medieval period, with particular attention to their role in irrigation, agriculture, and craftsmanship. Based on archaeological data, it explores the typology, spatial distribution, and interrelations of rural settlements with the urban economy. The study also discusses the economic and administrative transformations that followed the Arab conquest and their impact on rural life.

Sogdian villages are evaluated as the fundamental basis ensuring the economic stability of urban civilization, and their position within the system of early feudal relations in Central Asia is examined scientifically.
