Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of some typological features of the archaeological sites of northern Fergana. In particular, the processes of the settlement of the nomadic population that penetrated the valley in the early Middle Ages led to an increase in the population in the area and an increase in two-storey settlements. Based on this, the author focuses on the role of early medieval archaeological sites located in the main water basins of Northern Fergana. Also, the author gives the name of several settlements in northern Fergana and examines houses and castles around which the settlements are concentrated, differ both in appearance and location, which makes it possible to distinguish two types of these structures.
