Résumé

The Uzbekistan–Czech International Archaeological Expedition, organized by the Institute of Classical Archaeology of Charles University (Czech Republic), has been conducting research on the history and archaeology of Southern Uzbekistan, particularly Northern Bactria, since 2002. Throughout this collaboration, numerous archaeological sites have been discovered and systematically studied.

In 2008, the expedition members carried out the creation of an archaeological map of the Sherobod District. The emergence of the Google Earth online platform in the same year significantly expanded the possibilities for remote archaeological surveys and site identification. As a result, the first catalogue of archaeological monuments in the Sherobod District was compiled. In September 2010, the third stage of archaeological research was implemented by the Uzbekistan–Czech International Archaeological Expedition in the Sherobod District of Surxondaryo Region. During this field season, students of the Classical Archaeology Department at Charles University — Viktoria Chistyakova, Vera Dolejalkova, and Tereza Machachikova — under the supervision of P. Tushlova, actively participated in a systematic survey program of the lowland areas.

At the beginning of the 2010 research season, 93 archaeological sites were recorded; by the end of the season, 37 new sites had been added to the list. In total, the expedition team conducted on-site investigations at 53 sites. To date, more than 40 archaeological monuments of the Bronze Age have been identified in the Surxondaryo oasis. The contribution of the Uzbekistan–Czech International Archaeological Expedition in studying these sites holds particular significance for understanding the early cultural and historical development of the region.
