This article attempts to review the chronological problems of the initial settlement of Central Asia using the example of archaeological sites in the Angren River basin. Paleolithic monuments of the southeastern slopes of the Chatkal ridge, in particular Kolbulak and the Akhangaran complex of monuments, are being investigated. On the basis of absolute dating, it was concluded that the early periods of settlement of this region date back to 1,500,000 years ago, which makes it possible to include this region in the area of the most ancient focus of anthropogenesis.
