Abstract

The article presents some of the results of excavations of the Turtkultep caravan-saray located near the city of Zaamin (Uzbekistan). Judging by the finds of coins and other artifacts, it was built in the X century and functioned until the XII century, after which it was abandoned. For the second time and for a short time, the caravan-saray settled down in the XVI-XVII centuries as a small settlement.
