The eastern Kugitang piedmonts, southern Uzbekistan, have recently shown to be a particularly rich region in terms of archaeology. Among a wide range of archaeological sites spreading chronologically from the Neolithic to Pre -Modern period, kurgan mounds turned out to be a particularly frequent feature characteristic for the areas surrounding the narrow river valleys. This report presents new data on the occurrence of kurgan mounds gathered by the Czech -Uzbekistani archaeological mission in the spring season 2022. By means of a targeted extensive surface survey, the Czech -Uzbekistani team focused on four principal areas: 1) north of the village of Karabag, 2) east of the village of Khojaulkan, 3) the valley of Alamlisay, and 4) the area between the villages of Khatak and Panjob. The survey yielded in total 188 kurgan mounds, not counting hundreds of other various archaeological features identified. The total number of kurgans recorded so far in the eastern Kugitang piedmonts exceeds four hundred, indicating an intensive past exploitation of the highland areas of the nowadays Surkhandarya province. This report focusses on the morphology and spatial distribution of newly detected kurgan mounds and attempts to put them in the context of previous research.

Excavation in Metsamor in 2016 was focused on the settlement area as well as necropolis. Extended trenches uncovered a substantial part of the settlement and contributed new stratigraphic and chronological data on the three phases of occupation, especially the heavy fire that appears to have destroyed the buildings in the early 8th century BC. A unique find from this level of destruction was a necklace made of sardonyx, agate and gold beads. In the post-Urartian period, the northeastern part of the settlement was clearly rearranged. Exploration of a kurgan tomb in the cemetery showed that the tomb had been reused for the most recent burial, looted, which may have included a symbolic horse burial. The construction of the tomb, based on finds from a layer at the bottom of the burial chamber, which included several golden adornments and beads of different materials, can be dated to the Middle Bronze Age, the latest burials to the Iron I period.
